There is a kind of bliss in the streets of Mumbai'

There is a kind of bliss in the streets of Mumbai's Seepz. You cross them and you see colours that just dazzle you: the lyrical callings of rickshaw drivers desperate to be heard, the Vadapav vendor preparing the delicacies he sells every seven minutes, and the comb seller who smile back no matter how many combs have he managed to sell that day.

Conversations you overhear are interlacing stories no novel can tell you. A woman talking about the gift her husband bought on her 35th Birthday, Few grandpas' in their 70s reminiscing about their teenage days, A man discussing his political  ideology with his friend and a 7-year-old boy trying to make excuses to miss tuition class with his mother .

My heart always finds peace in the oldness of cities and in the rawness of their people. Perhaps, I would always choose the rhythmic voice of a street vendors over the tall shopping malls. There is a kind of romanticism in just things being in their original way no matter how much they have aged.
