Bombay is a strange place full of contradictions especially when it comes to our relationship with it. I always find it interesting to write about it. Much love and may your meanderings drop long roots that keep you both meandering and rooted ❤️😄
Wow! I returned to Substack after a long(ish) hiatus and its bizarre how I see this fantastic (never get tired of saying it!) piece after posting my own thoughts about Bombay. Funnily I am (over)thinking about how after spending over 17 years and not really dropping roots in the city, I still feel weirdly rooted to it. Which is making me uncomfortable and somewhat lost. I am reminding myself to be still and equanimous, so the answers can come. Happy 2 decades in the city to you Vasant!
Such a beautiful piece Vas - loved it!
Thanks Rish. Glad you read
Reading this reminded me of the song Roots by The Melodic, the first line goes 'roots aren't something you lay, but something you take on your way' :)
Thanks Sanku, will listen
