Been in Bombay for 15 months now. Living on my own, living life the way I always wanted to. <BR/>When I tell people that I'm a half-Delhiite and half-Bombayite (if thats what you call it), they smirk. But it doesn't matter, because I know thats whats happened to me.<BR/>For a long time, I battled over the 'Do I like Delhi better or Bombay?' debate. But I've grown wiser and discarded it altogether. Both cities are home to me.<BR/><BR/>Let's meet and live :)Raginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698797135464508351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-38454932216958922612007-07-10T18:39:00.000+05:302007-07-10T18:39:00.000+05:30oy. check your gmail. i emailed ya... am gonna be ...oy. check your gmail. i emailed ya... am gonna be in bombay for a bit next week :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-63391102433257979382007-07-10T16:23:00.000+05:302007-07-10T16:23:00.000+05:30I am missing Delhi...after reading the fist part o...I am missing Delhi...after reading the fist part of your post...<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the 6 month anniversary !!!Jay Sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617579343335812849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-53698246910774600732007-07-09T18:50:00.000+05:302007-07-09T18:50:00.000+05:30ah well.. mumbai!! i dunno why.. but i love that c...ah well.. mumbai!! i dunno why.. but i love that city.. wouldn't mind spending hours there.. teh crowded locals, teh beaches, town side.. the suburbs.... everything except the humidity.....<BR/><BR/>as for delhi... i'm yet to knw dat city.. though i intend to do dat soon enuf... for matters entorely personal ;)Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394200137631383145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-68397307894185516882007-07-08T18:29:00.000+05:302007-07-08T18:29:00.000+05:30you missed just one thing......In mumbai rain does...you missed just one thing......In mumbai rain doesn't rhyme with drain anymore.....Urban Rhapsodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358753117844720190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-86136605285676971562007-07-08T18:10:00.000+05:302007-07-08T18:10:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-65677085260108547872007-07-08T01:14:00.000+05:302007-07-08T01:14:00.000+05:30wel..every city has its own charm. evry place got ...wel..every city has its own charm. evry place got both positive & negative aspects. <BR/>i pity the lamers who bad-mouth delhi just to prove that mumbai is better.Basicaly they suffer from inferiority complex!..such loosers bring bad name to the city. any delhiite can list ills of mumbai & say delhi is better...buts thats not what we want(unless u are retarded)...delhi-mumbai-bangalore-chennai-goa-calcutta.....every place is special!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-63549130394241681492007-07-07T23:11:00.000+05:302007-07-07T23:11:00.000+05:30If Mumbai hadn't been on my 'places to visit after...If Mumbai hadn't been on my 'places to visit after I graduate' list already, I would've added it now.<BR/><BR/>Wish Trivandrum was as happening.

Uncanny it might sound, but I had a similar feeling when I did the same thing. Although I was reprimanded badly by all of them, coz I was all of bloody 14 years. Swings, those bloody Moes never gave me the chance and moonstruck was a complete weakling to fight them, and too shy to ask the girls. Piff!
