Activity: Returning from work: Bored, exhausted, mind in search of ‘adventure’!
Adventure?
No, please I would never again want to experience the kind of adventurous journey I had yesterday. The moment I left office, I called my husband, as usual, but yesterday our conversation took a turn!
A blast! Two blasts! Three blasts in 10 minutes!
Again, a shattering event in Mumbai! There were three consecutive explosions in Dadar: Zaveri bazaar, Opera House and Dadar bus stop.
But, the explosions did not explode the emotions of Mumbaikars any more.
‘Sirf 200 log hi ghayal huye? Utna khaas nahi hai, yaar!’ then “abhi kya karien blast ke vajay se ghar pet toh nahi baith sakte na”….
Do we call it ‘SPIRITS OF MUMBAI’ or is it that we try to hide our compulsions with this feel-good label?
If there had been a true existence of SPIRIT then we all should have awaken today as saviors- not for the country or for the citizens but atleast for our families and friends and protested against such law& order of the city that fails every single time.
There is no SPIRIT left in Mumbaikars, trust me, they just work as machines! They just work to live till they are alive! We live amidst BOMB,
coz it’s BOMB-ay???
