Today is Gudi Padwa - New year for us Maharastrians.
Yesterday, my Mom asked me what sweets I would like to have for Lunch. She thought I would have a holiday. I told her I had to go to office, we did not have a holiday. She showed me the red numeral on the calendar - "Its a Bank Holiday". But I did not work in a bank. She really wished I had a holiday. So did I. I felt sad for myself as well as for her.
So it is with a heavy heart that I left for office today. The buses were not crowded. There was no traffic on the streets. I got a window seat, all the way to the office. It took me just 20 minutes to reach my office - a journey, that usually takes at least an hour.
I was sad to have to leave home on such an auspicious day, to have to look at the disappointment on my mom's face. But by the time I reached office, I was as Happy as I can be in office...
What days have come. My happiness hinges not on the happiness of my loved ones, but on the comfort of my journey to the office. Welcome to the Mad world of Mumbai...
