ALVIDA Mumbai, My Friend and I

Show must go on...These 6 months have taught me a lot. The myopic view about Mumbai has changed. The city which never sleeps makes crores of people close their eyes and dream of success, fame and money. This tinsel town has managed to do give and take business and has not spared a single person.And, I was not an exception. Even, I reached Mumbai with a dream, to go back Pune with a job of my interest and spend some time with my friends whom I have loved more than myself. The journey which started as a dream turn out to be a nightmare. Things suddenly worsened out and there were moments of frustration, sadness and accusations. Suddenly, one fine Monday, 12th May, Me and my friend were asked to leave the job on the same day.The people who used to enjoy work had to sit at home idle and jobless. Neither the city nor the destiny spared both of us. The people whom I thought would help me at this crucial time cheated and turned their back. Every morning we both used to wake up with a fear whether we would get calls from any company, how to spend the whole day sitting at home.For 20 days, we were without a call and even if we got calls, things didn't get materialized due to some or the other reason.A city where everyone have their own success and failures, even we both had share of our own. But, as they say,things do change!!! My friend and my destiny is linked. We both got job on the same day and even our joining date was the same.He had to leave for Bangalore and I had to stay in Mumbai.For a moment,I wondered, how come I can stay in Mumbai when he is leaving for Bangalore. Did our destiny forget to play some trick??? Not really, I got a call from one of the big companies in Pune and the things were finalized in just one day.So, finally, Me and my friend left Mumbai.

A city where we have shared so much. There have been times when we were awake whole night and have chatted on career, friends and Mumbai off course.Things have changed and it changed for the better.Its ALVIDA Mumbai for now!!!!!
