My dad being in RBI we stayed in various areas in Mumbai. Places which we couldn't afford if it wasn't for RBI.

Mumbai it makes a huge difference from which area u come from .. so town to bandra are basically people from town and Andheri onwards we are from suburbs . Characteristics of people  differ depending on which part you come from . Clothes , temperaments , likes dislikes everything differs .
I guess all big cities have these divisions Newyork , London and Amchi Mumbai . Delhi i haven't really paid attention i don't like that city anyways .

So either u are born and bought up in one place and then shift after u get a job or get married . We shifted every 8 months to be precise..

So we were Simpletons from Nagpur from Ajanta Coloney Chinwada Road ..and dad was transferred to Mumbai and we got a place in Bandra Linking Road . 
I went to school in Pali hill so met these women/girls with perfect skin perfect hair perfect clothes perfect lives .huge seafacing houses in Pali hill .They would discuss diomands and clothes abd their high profile parties ...the only edge i had was my dad showed me the best of movies and gave me the best of books to read ..so that gave me the confidence to survive in this 'raees' world...
Some of these raeeses would have short term memories also ..one day they would hug 🤗 you and next day fail to recognise u ....it took me a while but I survived their perfect world's.

Next stop was Jalada Prabhadevi ..

#atramshatramrandomthoughts Bi-polar , Depression different names but suffering is the same not just for the person but people around them to . It's a very difficult topic to discuss and i have avoided it as much as i could .. but this is increasing now because of stress , competition , lifestyle , food . I have seen depression at a  early age someone really close. Seen the person ruin his life slowly bit by bit . They struggle to be normal .it's not a good feeling when a good movie a new pair of footwear or a bag dosent make you happy anymore , ur family members their achievements don't make you happy . Believe me they try and till they are trying there is hope . Not just theirs whole family looses faith in everything ..what could we have done so wrong tp deserve this . I remember going to watch a movie with the whole family and realised we all burst out crying in the theatre ..home we never got the fursat to think about our emotions and we couldn't react because atlea...

Movie Mania

#atramshatramrandomthoughts Movies have always been a big part of my life . Usually when we are kids watching tv or movies isn't considered to be of any use ..waste of time but i strongly disagree .    I didn't really understand the accent in English movies which i told my dad . Immediately he got into action every weekend Saturday we had to watch a English classic and Sunday Hindi  Classic .   We would actually look foreward to selecting the movie sitting together and watching it .  Movies keep me sane ..happy ..connected .. I learnt english only watching movies ..books helped too thoda bahut  ;). My dad introduced me to this awsum world ..when VCRs had just been launched and so many video libraries stocking most amazing movies. Prabhadevi we had a SAGAR video library just across the street ..Friday evening marathon would start so 3 days we has to watch 4 to 5 movies .  1 had to be Dilip kumar .. 2 english . Once we got hang of their accents...

World has suddenly shrunk !

#atramshatramrandomthoughts When we were younger after Information Technology boom the world had suddenly opened up for us .. going to America was no big deal ..it wasn't only a few who excelled in studies or were rich were going now .. every house had a child going to different parts of the world . Middle class families suddenly were going for trips abroad which was unimaginable otherwise. My dad stopped telling me phalana  ka son studied so well 'dekho America chala gaya ' I could go too !   My dad being in Reserve Bank was transferred for a while to Germany to Deutsche bank  that was our first time someone in the family left India and we were soo excited .  We too ..when we wish our kids do well, we wish they travel see the world ..have experiences they will cherish .. but suddenly that has changed . I would not want my kid to be alone even in the same country .  The 'new normal' has completly left us without dreams or  aspirations.  Eve...
