Unquenchable

Where time precedes everything, everyone!

Where no one cares about where you come from,

All that matters is where you are going.

Where emotions fell little short,

And buildings went a little too tall

Where there was less of judgement,

More of realisations. 

Where we all run and run faster,

Than mind processes and heart pumps.

Where the lights are bright,

Brighter than eyes could take

Where the highway leads nowhere.

Somewhere, only if you enjoy the ride

Where all I know about you,

Is you are a dream chaser!

It’s the sweet, sweaty smell of hope

It’s the smell of salt in the air

It’s the smell of shrines and temples!

It’s the feeling of standing on the tallest building

With the wind gushing against,

With the thrill of making it big!

A city drenched in emotions

A city that turns illusions into reality

A city that thrives on vada pav

A city that lets you be!                        

Mumbai, it’s infectious!
