This summer i was in Bombay for vacation. 1 month of awesomeness…this was planned so that i could be there for my childhood friend, kunals bday.

Booked my tickets, Finnair.

Packed a few cloths in a backpack…me likes to travel light.

Sat next to a latvian lady who was going to Bangalore…goto Helsinki…only to find out that the plane has been delayed by 5 hours…5 hours later 7 hours later goto Bombay.

It feels like i never left bay…its all so familiar…the sights…the smell…the people.

Took a rick…got home.

Home sweet home…
