My South Bombay

while i typed out the title of this post i wondered if i was projecting a front of being this "divide" person....a person who pronounces the suburb versus town difference!
But i dismissed the thought and went ahead anyway....
Being born and having spent my whole life in south bombay,its a place which is home for me!
From colaba causeway to worli seaface and everything in the middle of the two....fall in super cool south bbay!
Heres a list of my favourite things to do in town!.....after all the townie that i am.....time to excercise my right....
1. Walk and shop along causeway starting at regal,ending at theobroma!My idea of a workout..
2. Grab beer at Cafe Mondegar or Cafe Leopold or Tavern or Ghetto
3. Play games at the kids zone at atria mall....collect tickets and go home with gifts!
4. Eat grilled sandwiches and chic choc icecream at right place,breach candy
5. How can i make a list of favourite hangouts and forget the good old roll places,where we have hung out for hours at a stretch...Bade Miyan and Ayubs....Bombays not Bombay without you.
6. Chinese cuisine....five spice...period.
7. My personal favourite,watching the sunset at the cuffe parade promenade....sitting on the flight of steps,which meet the sea...brilliant....aurora borealis(Northern lights).The coloured sky is out of this world.
8. Walk along marine drive and worli seaface....ipod and me.perfect.
9. Drive down hanging gardens for that breathtaking view of the city.Can hardly see it because of the greenery...but the little we see...its worth it.A million lights.incredible.
10. The Kala Ghoda art festival.Cannot be missed.
11. Clubbing at insomnia....one place i can never get over.So sad its shut.Wish it comes back.
12. Salt water grill...needs a special mention after all its Bombays fancy answer to a shack in Goa!
13. Wine tasting at ivy-extremely close to my heart.
14. St.Thomas's Cathedral...for its divinity,peace and positive vibes.
15. Kobes sizzlers the 1st orignal and most authentic sizzler place in Bombay
Okay i just realised that list list can go on...
coffee,dessert,food and hukkah at mocha,bhurji pav at the station,the lovely vada pav,jehangir art gallerys one show called enduring images,class of 84 at the NCPA,inox for the bestest popcorn,tea centre for its piano,bachelors for choc shake,modern juice centre for its shwarmas,the MTDC bus ride,the Prince of Wales museum and............
So im going to stop here.
After all what is life without food and peace within!
Let this be a concise guide to South Bombay..
happy exploring

My 1st post on my blog...yay!

Okay..here i am...
I had been wanting to write a blog since the longest time,but then again u know its like one of those things you always want to do,but they just dont happen.So since lectures got cancelled today,and when i got some time, i seized the oppurtunity to make myself some digital space!
Its been almost 2 years since the much hyped MBA began and sadly its almost over...like they say all good things come to an end...its shatteringly true.Finally when i began to enjoy every moment of this experience i realised its almost over.And now we have reached placement time...that time of the year when no one cares who you are and whether your a friend.We all conform to the stupidity and become strangers in that mad fight for..........a Job!!!
So thats the scene right now...the atmospheres tense....do not know where i will land and what my future holds in store for me...but what the heck....as khaled hosseni said in his brilliant book,The kite runner "zendagi migzara"meaning life goes on.......I too will...
Zendagi migzara
