I will not pretend that I like the hordes of people that descend upon the queen of the surburbs of Mumbai at this time. I will not pretend I like the filth, the noise, the chaos.

Ultimately though, this is home - and as anyone knows, home is the best place on earth!

Happy feast to one and all! May the mother of our Lord guide us to He who is closest to her heart!

  10. @ Yash: :) Yash you’re welcome to come to Bbay and to my blog whenever you like. It’s funny but many people who’ve been in Bbay write & tell me that they enjoy the blog because it reminds them of Bbay. I don’t really post anything pro-Bbay intentionally, guess it’s just a big part of who I am (regardless of my grumbles the other day!).

    @ someDevil: Don’t have to be so green, ’tisn’t the view from my house :)

    @ dev: Merci Mr. (c) granter.
