Mumbai

Time flies. It seems like only yesterday that I came to Mumbai for the very first time. I remember standing on Marine Drive with dad and admiring the sea and the Queen’s Necklace. It’s become my second most favorite place in Mumbai (the most favorite is, of course, my room!!)

And now I must reconcile to the fact that I will have to leave soon. I will have to bid farewell to my new-found friendship with the sea. And I am certainly not happy about it.

I have spent hours staring at the sea, and it has always been there for me when I was down. It’s been my friend at times when I most needed one, and it has always been able to calm me.

But the sea is not all that I will miss about Mumbai: It’s the vibrant life, the perpetually ‘happening’ and always-on-the-move spirit of the city. Mumbai is the city that never sleeps and the city that slowly, but surely grows on you.

I don’t know where I will be a few months from now, but I know that nothing can compare to Mumbai, and this farewell will not be a happy one.
