The Indian Nomad

As a boy, born and brought up in North India, Delhi was always the greatest City for me in India. Everything, from first mall to first McD, it has always in Delhi. On the other hand, Mumbai always fascinated me but the only information I had was through friends or books. Finally last weekend, I got a chance to visit Mumbai with one of my friend and I started the journey with Colaba region of Bombay. Previous two generations of my family worked in Bombay (when it was not Mumbai). From them I have heard a lot about this area, Colaba. Colaba is the heart of Bombay. Its history is as old as Bombay. Almost 350 years before, when there was no Mumbai, just one small island of Bombay. In 1661 King Charles II of England married Princess Catherine of Braganza. The marriage dowry given to English was the island of Bombay that the Portuguese had no use. Charles himself didn’t care much about these island.

When all Political parties forget all issues and only talk about Secularism, you would know that Election season has arrived. You can easily find various party members having discussions with different Religious leaders. It can be Rahul Gandhi or Modi. Mulayam Singh or Arvind Kejriwal. All political parties are showing themselves as well wishers of Muslims. Sonia Gandhi has recently met Imam bukhari of Delhi Jama Masjid asking for Muslims vote.

Rajnath Singh conducted an event in Delhi called “Mission 272+ : Role of Muslim summit” in which he gathered few Mullahs and asked for forgiveness if anything wrong was done in the past from his side.

I was preparing for an interview on a weekend and there are few questions which a person needs to prepare for an interview. One such question is “Where do you see yourself 5 years from now”. As an IT professional, I should see myself as a Manager or so but I was not feeling that way from inside. It is because my life is quite unstable for the last few days.  I am not sure what I am doing with my life. Where I am heading towards in my life. Really, I don’t want to see myself in an IT sector after half a decade. But the main question is if not here, then where? This job has given me everything, a stable career, a decent pay slip and above all satisfied parents. I remembered around four years ago, I was a newly graduate from my college without a job in my hand. The time was such I was ready to work for anything. So, I got a contract job which was paying me nuts. I was working for around 14 hours a day. I was literally frustrated with my job but there was nothing I could do about
