Laughter Management anyone?!

Its been quite sometime that i landed in Mumbai...
Well!! it's been 3yrs that I last came here and though I have this love-hate kinda relationship with Mumbai,I am kinda excited because this time I'm here to give an exam on my birthday which doesn't mean anything but still,theres no harm in being excited right?!!!!!As the wheels of the aircraft touched the runway and I closed my book 'Women of the Tagore household' by Chitra Deb, i realized that the guy sitting next to us(who was quite perturbed with the landing..!) was praying and i think he kicked the seat in front quite a few times unknowingly(in fear basically..!)!for which the aunty in front scolded him...!


 I looked at my dad and we both smiled and somehow after turning red with giggles and scaring the people staring at me who sure thought that i've escaped from some asylum I controlled myself and thought "I seriously need some laughter management therapy..!"...

I remember the first time i crossed the Bandra-Worli sea face bridge the first thing that occurred to me was "Howrah bridge is wayyy better than that !!!!"...
My habit of comparing Mumbai with Kolkata started 3yrs back..I remember the last time i was here just before my class X boards and we had this silly chapter about commercialization in geography where we had to mug up the difference between Mumbai port and Kolkata port and basically the difference was about how inferior Kolkata port is and how extremely well maintained Mumbai port is..And i really hated reading that part(Basically i hated the whole geography book,but i detested that part..!),sometimes i felt like going to the Hugli river and cleaning up the siltation in the beds which was making it inferior to Mumbai port (i was such a kid!!!)..!!!!! But that difference really stayed in my mind and whenever i come to Mumbai i compare it in different ways with Calcutta(and smile to myself as to how superior Calcutta is)...!!
Everyone in my family really look forward to coming here specially my mum who has spent a part of her childhood here but i'm the only one who's not too fond of coming here(no offense..!!!)
More so because i somehow feel lost in a fast moving city like this and i'm sure if i'd be on my own here i would have sure lost my way(there,now thats another comparison..!!)...!
So here's all that there's for now,i'm now in my Mumbai daydreaming and studying for yet another exam (hope i don't screw this one as well..!)...
Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Monday blues..!

Today while coming out of my Biology tuition I slipped but then I somehow regained my balance.!! Yes I slipped again..!!A year back on my 16th birthday I slipped and fractured my ankle!!Actually it's my fault only there are two staircases in my biology tuition both leading to the exit, one is the normal kinda stairs which we generally have and the other one is a spiral staircase which opens outwards (yes you can even see the sky from it's broken corners!) but it doesnot even have a railing in some places and it's extremely narrow(exactly the size of my foot!!yes I did measure it!!) and steep!! So as you may have guessed by now I regularly use the spiral staircase!!Girls in my tuition can't even think of using that staircase and I don't know why even guys don't use it!!(maybe they are scared!!).. I really don't understand why I love those 'danger stairs' (yes my friends call it that) so much but I actually do..I remember once when I was about four or

This is a poem i had written when i was in the 6th standard and our group nearly broke.....I admit This poem has lots of flaws and abstractions but for me this poem really means a lot..... I remember the time we were standing with our faces to the sun.. Picturing our times to come Many a clouds have passed by since we stood under the same sky Talking in the summer sights.. Howling at the city lights I still remember the time that passed.. Pulling pranks just for fun Summer vacations were such a blast the kind of memories that will always last.. Growing up in future seemed such a thing We thought we knew what it would bring.. The stars seemed so clear from our domain.. I sure could handle some of those good times again.. Even if our dreams still seem far away.. Our friendship is always here to stay.. Until we are all gone.. The roads between us will never be too long...... I have been putting this off for quite sometime now, thinking I’d write this post “later” but I figured there is no

Aaj fir ek cigarette...

Here's a poem written by my friend who is trying to quit smoking and below it is my reply poem to him ... Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hun,, uski nazar me ye ek gunaah hai, mai to uske waade bhula raha hu,, Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.. samajhna mat isko meri aadat,main to bus dhuaan ura raha hu, ye uski yaado ka silsila hai, mai uski yaaden jala raha hu.. mai peekar itna behek chuka hu ki gham ke kisse suna raha hu.. agar tumhein bhi ghm hai to aao,main pee raha hu aur pila raha hu... ek cigarette ki shama k bahane main apne aap ko jala raha hu.. Aaj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.....                                                                                     ~ Akash  Gam ko aasuyo se na piya toh kya piya.. gam ko zindagi mei na badal diya toh kya jiya..  Gam ko dhuye mei urane ki addat nahi humko, hum toh isi dard k nashe,ki addat mei jiye huye hai..!
