Confessions of A Reluctant Delhiite

The urge to post seems to be receding. Does it have anything to do with the weather ? Someday the Times is going to call it's weather reports "Whither Weather". Dunno why but somehow it looks like something the TOI would do. Anyway on more pleasant things- spending a week in Mumbai only makes you realise how good it is to be in civilisation. Then u come back to Delhi and wonder why. God better reward me good for the hell I am in. And how can someone get Malaria and Jaundice simultaneously. I always thought it was a urban myth like First Class First. But again if it happens to Kurush - hope u get better soon.

The weekend was spent watching bad movies. Since in any case the weekend looked to be a bad one I decided to watch 2 Bond Flicks and one horrendously bad one. I keep wondering how did I manage to watch Bond all those years ago. I find it incredibly difficult now to sustain my disbelief at the way Bond violates Physics, Chemistry as well as what the heck Biology. Suffice to say I didn't enjoy Moonraker or The Living Daylights at all. Oh BTW the other bad movie was "My Boss's Daughter" Yech!.

Is it possible for a man to love a city ? Last weekend (Ok Friday also) I was back in Mumbai. The more I spend time there the more I realise how much I love that place. Where else can u land up in a car and not be paid attention while having the 8 Rupee Kebab. The food was rocking, never had to bother about "transport" and had great company. I somehow dunno if Mumbai is loved or the fact that I have great friends there. Oh well Oh well. I really don't see how I am going to adapt to life in Delhi. I suppose I'd have to not go to Mumbai for a zillion years to really like Delhi. I like the space and the facilities but where's the soul ?
