Ah! The Fast paced Life!

Life here in Mumbai doesn't wait for anybody. I wish the life was same comforting as it was in Indore (home town). Firstly you try and make pace with the city.. but it takes away too much from you.

I always thought life in a big city would mean better places, better lifestyle and better comforts which one doesn't usually get if he/she comes from a smaller city. No doubt that it fulfills every of that.. but it also takes a lot from you in return. It takes your TIME. One of the most important things in your life that you have to repay here with all the things you get.

Before I started working, I had all the time in the world. I could get up on my own time, shop according to my needs and whenever I wanted and always had enough time to prepare food for my husband (especially all those things which takes time to get done and what he likes) I used to do it on my own pace.

But since I started working, life has just taken a swing. Leave alone doing household stuff, the major part that depresses me is that I don't even get enough time with my husband. After going to work at 9 and returning home by 7.. getting dinner done, there is no energy left to sit and talk to your loved ones as to how there day went. Even our social life went for a toss.
And suddenly I realized... I'm the only one complaining. People here have been doing that for decades and still do not complain. Even if they did.. they got used to it and moved on like everybody else. Then why not me?

I just want that the best years of my life... do not get wasted and after reaching an age, when I look back I see nothing but work instead of memories. 

Life In Mumbai

Hey follow bloggers.,

Its been more than 04 months for me now in Mumbai... the city that never sleeps...and probably I have witnessed that.
Life has taken a 360 degree change post marriage. New Family, new environment, and a new city.
M basically from Indore.. and from what I can remember.. always wanted to get out of there and come to a bigger city. And now when m in the biggest city of India, I feel like going back to my hometown. Be it be small and not known to people here (the kids in my neighbor hood asked me where I'm from, and when I told them m from Indore, they asked me.. is it in India? ) it was comfortable, homely and had a feeling of being my own.
I don't despise Mumbai, its a great city to be in. People like me coming from smaller city find the traffic and distance a problem... but people living here laugh at such things.

One thing sure I noticed, people here are hardworking. They start their day as early as 7 and end it by as late as 12.. and that is mostly working and commuting. People are helpful.. (even the auto rickshaw wala's).

I expected it to be like the movie.. "Life in a Metro"..but its not. You have to earn the experience by living it, loving, and experiencing it.

At the start me and my husband both wanted to go back to out hometown, but this city captivates you really fast. I used to crib, always find faults in the city, but I don't know when I fell in love with the surroundings.

Still in love with my hometown... but loving my temporary home too. :)
