Chasing Time

January 13, 2011

Where did the last 6 months go?

This blog was borne out of an attempt to document my new life in Bombay and also to maintain some level of sanity, while attempting to figure the ins and outs this place, the unwritten conduct and make sense out of the everyday, extraordinary experiences.

Someone once told me that this city has a way of sucking you in and it can feel utterly amazing – but you tread carefully – the consequences are relentless.

It still leaves me perplexed at the best of times. But it’s the place where I feel most alive. You need focus. You need to be alert you every waking moment. If you lose that focus for a millisecond – you are gone.  Just take a look at Mumbai traffic. This is not the town for hangovers. Even though – it parties every night.

This is a rather unscientific calculation/breakdown of a typical day. 70% work, 20% socialising, 10% sleep. It does not leave time for much needed reflection.

 

I must find the time.

      I know, I am desperately trying to find the time. And I don’t want to just post for the sake of posting…I want it to be worthwhile.

      I also checked out your blog…you have done a fantastic job! :)
