Across Mumbai


Second post in the same day. Mama is excited. Hope this goes longer than expected.
After spending 4 days in the hospital we transfered to your naani's place at Purandare Park, Dadar. This place is a whole lot different from the more up class western suburban Powai we stay. Dadar is in central mumbai and Purandare park is in Hindu colony, home to more quintessential Maharashtrians than any other community.

Juxtaposed to the commercial Dadar T.T circle, Bus stops and flyover, environment here is more noisy than our silver crest. The horns and jarrs of the constant traffic on the adjacent flyover, the shouts of the vendormen (the bhajeewalaas, raddiwalas, bangarwala, etc).

Leave aside the constant tv cricket commentary, songs and dramatic dialogues of the serials, loud sneezes and mixie noises that clam the Jayaram household.

All this was affecting me more than you at that point of time as you spent time in sweet oblivion of your own.
