That thing about Mumbai

1.The Ganesh Chathurthi festival that made Shantivan come alive - The Mumbai philosophy - "Ganesh isn't just God, he's a superstar!" 2.The bollywood quizzes (who fought with Salman Khan), the insane questions (Am I mature?), the different stories (largely Divya's own fabrications) that Divya and I shared @ office/on IP messenger! 3.Spreading pollution - The "Dostana factor" introduced at home and at SSI; 4.The assigning of names to every room-mate, and the immemorables with them: Anu alais Draupadi : Have gone as far as we could go,in hymn & in search of a lost love ; rewriting a love story, only, one without an end; Divya alais thalaivi (head) : Embarassing her at all our dine outs; embarassing her wherever we went - the best remembered being the train journey where a complete stranger seriously began advising her, telling her that she was in danger of becoming a psychopath; The best movie we watched together : Chandni Chowk to China; Bhavani, alai
