Really lovely, thought-provoking. I love Mumbai because I studied in South Bombay as an undergraduate. Now, I'm halfway across the world, living and working in a small town in France. Your musings on loneliness/isolation/solitude hit the spot beautifully for me.
Thank you Gowri! I am really enjoying your Murder She Wrote series and sharing with those who'd be interested. It is great insight and storytelling combined!
Lovely, lovely piece. Opens up Mumbai through your eyes. Also makes me want to visit (I really should)
I think at this point you just have to land and inform us that you're here. The period of the 'shoulds' is over.
Guilty as charged lel. xD

Loved this piece. This made me smile as a Mumbaikar that loves to read.
This was beautiful Soumya. Loved the last paragraph in particular.
Thank you Ayush! Wrote this many years ago so in hindsight I can say there was never a doubt that the city would accept me. It accepts everyone.
Your prose has such poetry, Soumya. <3

Lovely piece, Soumya. Blend of books and personal stories works so well here.
Thanks Rohan!
As a lifelong Mumbaikar, I loved this perspective.
Glad to know this resonates with lifelong residents also! (Though I'm quite envious of this category)
