Bombay 2008 part 3 | Digital

I have been walking around my colony…hoping to connect to the past. But over the years things have so much that all the things that made this place my home are left just in my memory. I feel completely detached. The past seems like a dream…growing up…going to school…playing with friends…fighting with my sister…

Strange…

I am glad i now have a camera…at least i can freeze time…parts of it…

The speakers are singing Shine on you crazy diamond by Pink Floyd…i still remember the day suri gave me a cassette on which he recorded some tracks by Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam.

As a kid i always wanted to grow up…and now i miss those carefree days…i guess thats the price one pays for growing up…

Kunal and me were wondering where we will be in the next five years…who all will get married…who all will have kids…and come to think of it…five years will pass by and we wont even notice. I hope we still remain in touch…

Bombay 2008 part 2 | Digital

While my friends are spending their summer in turkey/paris/crete, i am here in Bombay relaxing…spending time with my family and friends…

week has been quite uneventful…eating…relaxing…sleeping…i miss my bed though…i hope one of my roomates are watering the plant in my room…

what else…went to a pub called totoes and then had dinner at some other posh place…moral of the story…Bombay is more expensive than Oslo…

what else…what else…
