It's been two and a half months since
I came to this second largest city of Maharashtra (as everyone says!!! Though I
have my doubts between Pune and Nagpur), and I have realised one very important
"characteristic" of this city and that is-"Nagpur is a culturally
DEAD city.." Period. Though it is a f***ingly RICH city with 3 duplex
bungalow type houses out of 6 at every street, road, lane, bylanes, people here
are more fashion conscious than being health conscious. People here prefer
investing in properties, rather than buying good food, enjoying their lives.
Even the clerical staff of my office are millionaires and billionaires, yet in
appearance they are worse than the people who have roadside hotels selling
"sobji bhaat for 12 INR" and "dim bhaat for 15 INR" and
"mangsho bhaat for 25 INR" in Kolkata....!!!!!
I believe in traveling like a local and doing my bit to aid fellow travelers with nitty gritties of any new destination. Welcome to my travelogue.

Dubious "sanity"...
Was listening to 25 minutes by MLTR and again was thinking and
having a flashback of all sorts… I have a serious problem.. Whenever I listen
to songs of this sort, I start having flashbacks and get depressed for no
reason… Living alone is a very uphill task. You start thinking all weird things
and even the minute”est” details, quarrels come flooding in your mind. &
then you have mood off for the rest of the day, week or even month….!!!!
This is again that time of the year when I was supposed to go to
Kolkata but unfortunately I am at Nagpur. What “great” idea dawned upon me I
don’t know (I’m still dubious about my sanity..!!!) that instead of getting
meself a ticket to Kolkata I was adamant about going to Mumbai, that too during
Durga Puja…!!!! Feel like kicking myself…!!!! I’m getting more and more jealous
reading all the “wonderful”, “lavish” FB statuses about Durga puja, how they
are pandal hopping, how they are going to have dinner at “that” restaurant,
when they will be meeting at “that” particular place and all “bullshit” (to me
for the time being…!!!)
I promise to myself that this is the 1st ever and LAST
ever when I am missing Durga Puja, the festival which defines my ETHNICITY, my
CULTURE, my BONGNESS…
LAST TIME EVER…..
