Mumbai @ 3.35 am

It is 3.35 am. As I am writing this, 90% of the city of dreams is totally drowned in dreams...

So was I, 5 minutes back. But thanks to my friend’s habit of talking in the sleep (:)), I got up and am not able to sleep now.

The window of the hall is open and I am sitting by it. This is a new shape of Mumbai which I am seeing right now. I am liking it.

The sky is looking more resplendent than anyone can ever imagine. This is the first time I am appreciating beauty of sky which is not star-lit. The trees in our building are creating a perfect contrast in the backdrop of the sky. Everything else has come to a standstill. It is just picturesque.

It is last day of March. And heat has already started taking its toll on Mumbaikars. However, sitting here, at this moment, heat and humidity are conspicuous by absence. I am loving it.

If at all there is any kind of sound in the surroundings, it is that of long distance trains.

This is not the first time I have woken up so early or not able to sleep till so late. However this is the first time I am writing blog at this wee hour and also indulging a bit in reflection.

The very fact that I am enjoying it is telling me that the coming day has already given me a glimpse of how much splendid it is going to be....

  2. And this could finally be that clinching moment where You got to express yourselves just in the knick of time. You always complained of not having your Laptops at hand at 'those' opportune moments when you wanted to write a Blog.

    And might as well, try not sleeping till that time, then everything looks resplendent!
