A small conversation between two friends who reconnected on FB after several years and then chance upon each other during a daily train ride...
Friend No 1: hey....how are you? wassp? I saw on FB that you have been writing a bit...different you know,..from what others do.....
Me: Ya ya true true..what are you upto....several updates from you as well...your life seems to be rocking....

Friend No 1: So, you run a small blog...
Me: oh, that? ahh its actually just to have some personal virtual space to talk like I want...on Issues I want..
Friend No 1: What is your blog about? fashion? work? Travel? what what??
Me: Actually about Mumbai, no my thoughts on Mumbai...oh well both and more....some small amount of Philosophy as well..In a way...
Friend No 1: Mumbai,....oh ya....I read several things written about Mumbai,...Its the hot topic for now....So what did u write about Vt station? or Marine Drive? and what about Leopoalds? Metro?..
Me: Actually I have not too much about them...these places are not so much a part of my life you see....
Friend No 1: oh....(scilence)...then what of Mumbai? if not these things, what is left?
Me: Trains....and places and people who live in Mumbai...
Friend No 1: Ya ya, Trains are hot topic too. Like how dirty and filthy they are or even how they are the lifeline of the city...
Me: No, actually about people in trains...and their life in Mumbai..how they react to life and situations...mainly about how people react to Mumbai and its life....
Friend No 1: ...(scilence).....oh....quite off-beat, am sure some few people will be interested...makes for some writing material.....Do you have many followers? Not that many I guess....Its not like Mumbai fashion or even about the Bomb blasts in Taj you know....but I admire your courage....
