Alien in My Own Country :(

February 9th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Me , my family & life, Travel & living

I never felt away in my country. Mumbai over the last few months have been like visiting my backyard. But this visit to our financial capital has left me thinking. This trip was marred by apprehensions and fear of being a so-called outsider. There has been riot situation across Mumbai where a group of fanatic was out on streets rioting


Mumbai life seems to come to a halt. The nerve of mumbai the local transport was completely broken. It took me 30 min to reach my guesthouse, what would have been a 10 min drive in a taxi. My heart pained more than my legs because this feeling of alien in one’s own country will make any patriotic person cry.

These people who held back the city wanted outsiders to leave. Aren’t these the people who celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi as their biggest festival? Lord Ganesh, As far as my mythological knowledge goes, belongs to Mount Kailash (Not in Mumbai by any chance) and not Mumbai. Would these people move Siddhivinayak out of Mumbai because he’s not born here?

Monday Blues

February 4th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Me , my family & life

Good Morning Monday. Hmmm.. You are here again to pull me out of my cozy quilt. Since the day I am introduced to you I wished you missed your date with new week. But you come week after week without fail. Wonder why don’t you go on sick leave or take a casual leave.

 

But then on second thought, If you don’t come the life would not move.  There will be no office and no work. There will be no motivation to work and even no excitement to look forward to the weekend. What is the fun of weekend without Monday? Its you who make us live the weekend breaks to the fullest.

 

But I’ll still suggest you take a break once in a while. ;)

Hi from Amit Gupta !

January 26th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Me , my family & life

Amit GuptaHi every one. I (Amit Gupta) have taken one more baby step on internet. Although, I ‘d created my identity on web quite sometime back but I realized that it can’t be updated often.

So, I thought that I’ll use a blog as it becomes easy for me to write down my thoughts about me , people around me and things around me. And whats a better day and time to start than 26 January. which reminds us of our country, our rights our duties and our constitution – think i am getting bit too serious! That’s the impact of the date.

Anyway to cut it short, this will be my space , my thoughts and all of you are welcome to share the thoughts of amit gupta.
