It was drizzling that day, even though it wasn't a heavy drizzle but still good enough to create slight panic among the on goers... No one expected the rain God to smile so early in the year, as I was rushing for shelter I could notice the anguish on many people's face, thanks to the unexpected drizzle that was slowly transforming into a mild rain. I was inches away from my building when the drizzle decided to be a bit more aggressive and started to pour heavily. But like most hindi film heroes, I was able to save myself, though got partially drenched. Honestly seating on the 10th floor in the balcony with a coffee mug in your hand, you tend to forget the plight of all the people battling the rain in the road (luckily I saved myself from the similar plight moments ago) and enjoy the watery blessing from heaven.

Seating on my balcony with coffee in my hand, I thought of enjoying the not so pleasant rain.... that’s how Mumbai is for all of us… "Kisi ki musibat kisi ka maza ban jati hai"... a line meant perfectly for Mumbai or may be for everywhere. Bas kuch pal phele hi main iss musibaat ka hisaa tha…. Aur ab isse ka maaja utha raha hu… strange… but true…

I moved to Mumbai..may be destined to move here...or may be another litmus test after a long and challenging 1 and half year in Delhi, then a comfortable and easy going life in Bangalore, it was time for another challenge called "Mumbai". I still remember as a child I always wanted to live in Mumbai, always wanted to be part of the big world of "Hindi cinema" (like many greats even I don’t like the word “Bollywood”).... things have changed drastically over the years, I have developed some sort of allergies towards big cities..... And certainly had no intension of coming to Mumbai and settling down here. But as they say destiny had something else planned for me.

I was sitting in the balcony enjoying the rain and drinking a cup of coffee when suddenly the door bell rang… honestly life greatest learning comes to you unexpectedly… when you are not prepared or least expect it…. the main trick it to grab it or realize the hidden learning behind such events/incidents….. who knew that outside the door that day was an experience of a life time… an experience that helped us understand or bring us face to face too our inner most desire…. something we are scared to talk about or discuss, something that never gets its due importance and one day when we are in verge of our end we realize that we have left the most important desire of our life unaddressed…. An unfulfilled wish… We human have a tendency to take the safe route out…. Escape from the situation or not to face the pain that’s there inside our heart…..during our course of life… we make relation and desire for certain stuff…. Not always it is possible that all our wishes will be fulfilled. But then there are certain desires which we carry with us thorough out our life…… I and my friend Raj had such desire… I don’t know whether this conversation has any logic, practical significances or importance..Not sure if people can connect with what we talked about…whether anyone else in this earth will ever understand what we both desired and wanted… whether anyone will be benefited from the conversation..Whether our conversation will enlighten someone else’s life…or inspire someone…I don’t know nor am I interested to know ... but that day for us.. We visited our respective inner most desire…..something we wanted to address but didn’t know how and when…….. all we knew is that we want certain things and we will wait for the right time to come and give us that… we won’t let our inner most desire, no matter how painfull it is to die or fade away with time…we need to kill that desire so as to live a guilt free life… and we know we will one day….….
