There is the constant need to walk at the speed of light. The need to catch the very local standing on the platform when you're at the overhead bridge. The need to nudge someone moving too slow. The need to be aggressive. The need to be competitive even while walking down the road. The need to go to the sea side to breathe. The need to show your cultural intellect in social surroundings and the lack of it on the street. The need to live in the "posh" localities even if in a pigeon hole. The need to fit in. The need to do something extra. The need to develop into a MACHINE.
This is the "need" of Mumbai. The Maximum city.
Don't get my wrong, I'm no cynic of the likes of Antisthenes or Demetrius. I'm just unsure if this is what we came here to do. to be. I could belt down few lines about life and the purpose of it but its a little overdone already, so lets just say, I think that there should be more. More to all of this humbug called "life". Maybe we all don't have a divine purpose, but we do have only one shot at it. So yes, we will continue to nudge people on the streets and rush to get to places and put up a brilliant facade of "how awesome we are" but I would want to also in reality be "awesome". Do things which are awesome. meet people who are awesome. eat food which is awesome. read books which are awesome and finally feel satisfied with an overdose of awesomeness!! If i had that along with life's humdrum, I would be fine. My personal "divine" purpose would be attained. Sounds simple right? very basic even? But is it? The answer is No, it never is and they never said it would be. Even to achieve the basic is a struggle, a struggle most of us don't mind undertaking.
