Happy Dassera !
I saw this awesome picture in a newspaper I was reading ,of dassera celebrations in Mumbai !
Its so vivid , The effigees on one side reminiscent of a techni color bad dream and bombay's skyline on the other side , stoic , unyielding yet somehow welcoming at the same time .
I just cant wait to go back .
For the ones not familiar : Dassera is celebrated as the day when Lord Ram , after a long battle with a Demon Ravan , finally shot down Ravan with an arrow .
The quitiessential legend ..the triumph of Good over Evil .
I remember as a kid ..when I used to see Ramayana on TV . Sundays ..Not even a passing bird or waylaid car honk would break the silence of the show and for the briefest of times , everything would be still and possible.

In passing..saw your blog..its friday..and was thinking too of friday
what would friday be like...
...sips of a golden sun tumbling away in behind the mumbai necklace
... a little park bench in delhi's siri fort on a cool october evening
... or maybe a crisp kanchenjunga view, from the balcony of Milman Hall, St Paul's Darjeeling
...or the rolling bicycle rides in Rungli in the Namring valley
But not today it is not - its the veiw from my room - a rainy adelphi road...somewhere on a new continent but lost in time
