aamchi style

When i first came to MICA i was apalled at the number of delhites. ( No Offense? :P ) Id still say it. I kind of had a polarised view about dem growing up in aamchi bbay. I was like "dude" and kept calling all my friends cribbing.I was so biased. Kind of like saying that:) My first impresiions were strong and repelled.

Well then all the team blah happened and i was like not bad. I managed to become very good friends with them too. And i Realised theres no them. Its just like siblings in a joint family where all are different. But my my perceptions are so different. Our rudeness is confused for arrogance. We are simply used to state the practical Facts. Our attitude is taken as whacked up. Many other things.

When i go home no matter what time i Reach if anyone comes to pick me up id puke myarse out. Id be like "Dude areyou crazy?" Sometimes when i havent found a way back home at 1 and call dad reluctantly ( Remember he has work the next day id be spoiling his sleep ) hed say Pick a rick:) And then it makes me smile so bad. ( Of course hell be worked up till im home ) You know. He wants me on my feet. And after some time its like Take care lady. grow Up! I love that feeling. I can never thank my parents enough for raising me independent . Coldness came with my own thinking. I remember the times when the only effective conversation i have had with my mom was when I Travlled...and so on.........But all this induces a sense of ...sense.:)

I dont see this happen in Delhi. Thats partially because of the safety concerns for our species and other things i guess. I see so many assumptions there. If youarecalled to a party at 8 please come at 10. if i do that in bbay id be attending some one elses party. Which of course il get thrown out of.

I thought. And thought. And then thought what the heck dont waste time. And then voila i got it. Its "TIME". The hurry factor which makes us the way we are. Thers no Time to waste extra minutes when you could miss a train bus cab whatever. I love the concept of punctuality in bbay. My My. Its on Time. And thats a valuable thing.

Maybe that has instilled in us a sense and respect to run. Id rather jog and make friends than walk and bump into strangers kind of approach. Id rather travel 4 hours to meet my colleagues than socialize with my neighbours:) Id have my own set of Train friends , bus friends , linking trainfriends , office friends , neighbour friends etc etc.

Having that Vada pav on the run is enoughto explain what the city runs on.
I kind of miss the place. The buzz. The Haze.
I have seen both the worlds now. ( Ask Him:))
I feel theres a difference in Perceptions. In Attitudes. Its enriching to see a melange the way iv seen it here in e9.
"To each His/her Own "

P.S: The sole motive of this post:Bbay wins:)
