Mumbai!

If asked to write about the Saturday that went by, had it not been for this computer and keyboard (the backspace and delete keys mostly), there would've been a lot of ripping from the writing pad, and crumbled parches of paper, tossed hither and thither.

If asked to describe the cliche of the 'spirit of mumbai', (after a long pause).. possibly there is nothing, which is more abstract and less absurd, that could elucidate the existence of this city.

If asked what took my breath away; that'd be the sight of this;

If asked, what would be that one thing that left an enduring impression, that would possibly be the radiance that emanates from the monuments, the sheer volume of the time that has passed by, the thought that these structures did stand witness to all of the past, good and horrific alike.

If asked, would I visit (south mumbai) again; ah yes, possibly too soon.
