Like you, I left Bombay in a bit of a huff. I've never regretted the move, but I'll readily admit that the 17 years I spent there defined who I am today. For better or for worse. And given me a toughness that my upbringing in lahe lahe Meghalaya and Assam would never have. To me, Bombay is like a first girlfriend. Only, over 17 years, she transformed into an aging and cantankerous mistress. But nevertheless remained one of great allure. Like the legendary mujrawalis of ages past, who created havoc in the lives of men and their women alike. Like an aging mistress who refuses to vacate her place in my heart. That's why every time Bombay takes a hit, man-made or not, it causes me deep grief too. From one transplanted Bombayite to another: very nicely written.

The city had the same effect on me. Even now, I am as much (if not more) at home in mumbai, as in chennai. What happened was sad. This tragedy is a clear indicator of total ineptness of the government and towering spirit of average mumbaikar. Afterall, how long can you keep him down. An hour or two maybe ? But then the spirit of mumbai gets impatient after 3 minutes. The next train must come and life must move on. Great post anita. vasu Absolutely beautiful. The city had the same effect on me.

It is voices like these that save Mumbai from all the dung that news channels hurl at the great city and turn its people's resilience and never-say-die attitude into a cliche. Poignant post.
