Bombay brawls..

[Bombay - It never gets old huh? - Nope. It kinda makes you wanna break into song.. ;)]


Purple bus. Flashy new train. Crazy untimely Bombay rain.
Foot non-path. All their wrath. Luke-warm vanilla summer bath.
Bandra fish smell. A wishing well. B W S to the L.
Open sun roof. Women aloof. Traffic-jam-fight: calling truce.
Terror strikes. Open mics. Messy curly or mini spikes?
Where trains roll. Buses brawl. The 'sky walks'. But the roads crawl..



Cheers. Keedas. Peace


PS: Feels great to be back. And to resume with, what's more inspiring than Bombay, haan?

PPS: Outta the 4 people reading this (*waves at Muddu*), for those who haven't heard the Discovery Channel's extremely singable/ hummable commercial - 'Boom de yada!', which starts with - "It never gets old huh? - Nope. It kinda makes you wanna break into song..", here it is!


And those who haven't heard David Gray's 'Babylon' really really must have a listen!


To winter! Brrrr.. :)

I can't tell you how much happiness Bombay brings to me.It's been 3 years since I've been living in Pune but still everytime the bus gets off the expressway, there's a little something in me which goes "wheeeeeeeee" ^_^ !
Oh and dude, 'Boom de yada' just owns every commercial ka ass! :D
