South Bombay

Sitting in South Mumbai (Breach Candy) to be specific, sea facing apartment of a friend of mine. Just lounging in her bedroom and looking out into the evening sun and gorgeous wind blowing and sun still not ready to set yet. How many people in Mumbai can really claim to find such gorgeous view and feel from their own personal bedrooms. 

I used to feel that South Mumbaites are a different breed, snobs etc etc  until I started hanging out with them, also until I have been I have been myself hanging out in this part of Mumbai, Bandra – South Mumbai.  In fact I have been meeting so many expats, travelers that this experience of not having a regular job has made a curious person out of me. I am liking meeting more and more people and taking their views on India. I do not know whether this new found interest is due to my excessive missing of US and hanging out and seeing people of different colors even in a café.

Starbucks in Taj has become my second hangout spot. People here are from all over the world, less noisy than a typical Indian.  Servers are happy and great and definitely not more expensive than CCD (yes it is the short version of Café Coffee Day or is it Coffee Café Day ;)

My outlook in life has been changing with more interaction with various people. I have always been a nomad at heart, would love to travel the world but not the way these travelers do living out of couches or random people’s apartments. I would rather stay at a 2 star hotel in my worse of financial constraint days.  But that makes you realize life really has given you more than you keep asking for and definitely by plate has a lot of scope for a lot more – better boyfriend, bigger house, fulfilling career  and yes guardian angels bring all these things on.
