Sometimes it is difficult to see the beauty of Mumbai.... actually it is not that difficult to see Mumbai as being only dirty... I have to confess however that ever since I came back from my secondment, my view, attitude and feelings towards Mumbai drastically changed... I had suddenly become critical... almost like the relationship was turning sour... I could find no beauty in anything in Mumbai... A city which not so long back meant the world to me and which made me feel secure was suddenly irritating me... I hated the noise, the pollution, dirty roads and even the people!

Mumbai had suddenly become tooo small for me... there was nothing exciting about mumbai... even the beach began to irritate me cos of its dirt and people's liberal access to it... the systems which seemed to punish people for their simple basic needs... I was fed up...

not that life in mumbai is any better.. but there is some merit in accepting something with all their flaws.... same case for Mumbai.... 

Women took a giant leap, crossed the hurdle and... somehow landed in a puddle...

It is indeed tough being a woman.... I cant emphasise that enough... its a harassment on a daily basis... and constant pressure to be of service to society.... like we have nothing better to do ...

which is why when I hear about commitment phobic men, I wonder - dude? what is wrong with you? we are the ones who should be avoiding any commitment...given that it comes with such unforgiving responsibility, possible loneliness (if the hubby is an ass which is very likely), tension on an every day basis, responsibility for bringing up the new generation and lets face it, at the end of the day, no thank yous...

and women crave for this?? to take on all this added responsibility?? for what???

Margaret Thatcher dies... what a woman... my icon...
