I always prefer the window seat when I take my flights.......and this time I was happy I did just that.
Suprisingly it was a cloudy day when I left mumbai .My flight took off just in time and I was thrilled that I was traveling home.
To be precise this was my second time on a flight and I had one of the most memorable flights ever.
It was the scene and the silence and serenity attached with what I saw that made it worthwhile.
And all that I saw out of my window were clouds... Pure white ones.....
It was like my flight was gliding through snow, not a glimse of land below.
The first thing that came into my mind was Bryan Adams Cloud No 9 Song and then the book which had inspired me a lot The ILLUSIONS.
Cloud No 9 ,I guess everyone will understands why,if they have seen the video of the song.
But The ILLUSIONS even I was not sure why , I felt more heavenly and closer to my messiah looking at those huge but yet soft and serene clouds.
My mind was in a state of trance, completely relaxed and plain just like the clouds that I had seen outside.
I was able to recall and actually reflect on what I read in that book, suddenly like magic and I still don't know how and why???
I have never felt so calm in my life.When my flight actually went through the clouds, all I could see around me was white and it was like I was traveling into another life another time , a new dimension......
It was a breathtaking and a wonderful experience, there is still so much I feel about it but the magic of my feelings can never be worded here cause it was far far beyond that .

4 heavenly days
The wait was well worth it. I remember counting my days down before I could reach home....... But 4 days was not enough, I guess a lifetime wouldn't be enough to stay with the family.
Back home and back to my mom,siblings and wonderful friends of mine.
I jus cant explain, really cant explain how I felt when I saw my mom after 4 months. Have never been away from here for sooooooo long.
I was looking forward for the home food,infact I even did not eat anything from morning lest it hampers my appetite .
The time I had was not enough to update my mom on everything that happened, i cuddled with her in the nights to have a long chat but only to find myself fast asleep with my hand wrapped around her. It was divine bliss.
Lots of friends and not enough time to meet everyone.I did catch up with quite a few thanks to my friends wedding.
A hectic 4 or should i say 3.5 days spent in meeting family and friends, man surely 4 days will never suffice.
Oh my, how I envy people who stay with their family. Things I had taken for granted once were no longer that way. Every little thing that my mum used to do as default seemed so special to me.
Life teaches you a lot when you live by urself.

AAMCHI MUMBAI
Its been more than 3 months since i have been in bombay and i guess i have seen and discovered enough of bombay to actually put it in words
A City where everything is possible, Especially the impossible!
Where lovers first love and then marry,
Where there is place for every Tom, Dick and Harry
Where telephone bills make a person ill,
Where a person cannot sleep without a pill.
Where carbon-dioxide is more than oxygen,
Where the road is considered to be a dustbin,
Where college canteens are full and classes empty,
Where Adam teasing is also making an entry,
Where a cycle reaches faster than a car,
Where everyone thinks himself to be a star,
Where sky scrapers overlook the slums (USHA KIRON),
Where houses collapse as the monsoon comes,
Where people first act and then think,
Where there is more water in the pen than ink,
Where the roads see-saw in monsoon,
Where the beggars become rich soon,
Where the roads are levelled when the minister arrives,
Where college admission means hard cash,
Where cement is frequently mixed with ash.
This is Mumbai my dear,
But don't fear, just cheer!
