I burnt a tear today just to see what remains after it's all over;
Clutching it tightly I set it on fire breathing excitedly as it began its dance of desire. 
Flame after flame it captured it all.. Yet leaving behind nothing at all. 
I rummaged through the remnants expecting some dreams and hopes held along with memories to be there, but found nothing except despair!

Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

  For the time I remember, I always wanted to write. I used to have diaries, secret journals which later on turned into blogs, and long emails to friends.
