THE WEEKEND STORY ...

Had been to Church gate and had observed the colour of the sea .. a thought came "Is the Arabian sea brownish in colour ? "..... the colour of water was unusually not blue .. is said that human activity has made the colour brownish .. but what i thought is that the colour of the sea represents the mix in culture of Mumbai .. Mumbai or as a whole a part of India is not for a part of people .. the mixing and the intermixing of diverse culture is what India is all about ... and if all the culture can intermix and live in complete harmony then it wont be a herculean effort to destroy all the evil communal and regional blues of our society and make them turn to one unified brown colour ....
No one can claim the colour of a particular area .... as it's for all and all have the share on it ... if we are all togther and think together then no Thackrey or no Osama can make us divide ... The brown colour of the Arabian sea says us live and love together ....... and feel the complete Indianness amongst all oriyas ,bengalis , madrasi , gujju etc and etc ...

THE WEEKEND STORY ...

Of my two last weekends in Mumbai , I have been two Santacruz and Vasai road to meet my relatives .. As I communicated with them I found a really wonderful outcome .. people really looked forward to high inflation at the time ... do u know why ?
Having his own home is always in the basic dream of every man .. and having a home in Mumbai ... a really great one .. and this has really attributed in some highly exagerrated prices ... people are ready to pay 7500 for 1 sqft ... because the liquidity is high ..India is growing at high pace .. bank is paying easy loans and buiders are busy collecting money ...
What the high inflation will make sure is that the growth will face hurdles .. the liquidity will be temporaririly evaporated and the property prices will get a hit .. the reality can be checked in some of the areas where 5-6% downward journry has started ..
Now what that says is the old legend .. what must go up has to come down ...as nature has everything for our need and nothing for our greed .. then if our greed is not controlled by ourselves then it has to be brought down by nature itself ....

A sisyphean task ...

One more day of heavy rainfall .. and once more the chaos . be it the City of Joy or the Finance Capital .. the situation becomes more or less same ... The same breaking news of putting the blame on government .. Will there be any end to this ? .. Practically saying a big NO is the answer ..
If we just try to find the reason then we can know that we are the cause ..we never think while throwing our polythene on the road .. never care to take a bag to the market and never care to see if the drainage system in our locality is fine .. we take everything granted .. we think if we are paying the tax , governmnet should do all this (not like to say about who avaoid tax) ... we are happy to dine in a five star resturant in weekend .. and we are fine travelling to picnic spot and making it more dirtier .. our rivers are choking for our activities and we seem so ignorant ...
We have excuses for everything ..
I am also part of the system and I also do think like all of us .. But as long as I am not willing to change .the bedlam story of monsoon worries will continue ..
