Kudos to Mumbai Women

Finally, I have determined to keep alive my blog. Constant request from my friends, a word from my boss persuaded me to write. I cannot give them regular excuse like 'don't have time' as I have come across many things while traveling in famous (infamous?) Mumbayya local train since last two months.
I am convinced, if you are willing to do something, no force in the world can stop you. Two years of Mumbai life taught me many things, especially, last two months. Daily travel has changed my outlook towards life. There is no need of giving justifications for not doing anything. If one’s is firm to do things, no matter where it is, how it is, he/she can do.
My mother always requests me to put Rangoli in the morning. But I reply her that I don’t get time to do all these in the morning as I have to rush to catch train. But, I feel bad myself when I look at a woman sitting next to me in train reading Hanuman chaalis. She might have school going kids, aged in-laws, lazy husband to look after. Amidst all these, she nurtures her religious conscious; performs her duty at home and at office without disturbing the concept of ‘Indian Woman’.
(I thank all women who commute in local train for bringing changes in me)
