My Dear Mathew,
Jai Mata Di
Mumbai people are having to carry lot of
burden. The burden to work hard, the burden to
doing two jobs and also the burden to being
forward-looking and fun-loving. They are also
having to carry the burden of living the night
life.
Also the burden of being very accommodative and
adjustment type of people. Oof, this it very very
too much of weight to carry. Becharas, that is why
my intellectual friends Dennis and Gogate are
having a very difficult time to convince me why
they think I am so lazy and 'laid-back'. I am
telling you personally, my dear Mathew, that I am
not knowing the meaning of laid-back. I am trying
to find out.
But I am feeling very sure that they are being
very successful in adjusting to people and
becharas are not having too much good things to
eat. That is the reason even Pancham Pooriwala
(near VT station) is being written in papers. And
food reviews are being written about poori-sabzi.
Mumbai people are calling it poori-bhaji. Here, in
saddi Dilli, more than hundred Bihari and UP
people are making too much better poori sabzi, but
no one is writing about them.
Since the Mumbai people are not buying cars,
and traveling only in local trains filled with too
much gentry, they are not having to worry about
driving scooter or car. So they are reading a lot.
And they are also playing word-making games. They
are calling it crossword. I have never seen
anybody playing any crossword game in Dilli. Here
we are having DDA sports clubs and we are going
there in the morning and evening to play tennis,
badminton and also swimming. After that they are
drinking sitting in their car or sitting at a
bachelor friend's house. Here, in saddi Dilli, no
one is reading because it is highly risky to read
paper while driving. And if Dilli police is
spotting you reading while driving, they are
taking 500 rupees bribe and also giving many gaalis. I am understanding it is good to have
local train so that people are reading more and
playing crossword game and becoming intellectual.
My family is wishing hello to prajaiji and
telling me to take a 500 Rupees flight ticket to
Mumbai by Deccan Airways. But yesterday I was
fighting for long time to procure the ticket but
madam at the counter tells me she can not disburse
500 Rupees tickets now. Otherwise I will surely
visit you and eat pao bhaji with you on the
Chaupatty beach.
