In Mumbai. 4:30 am. I have been awake for a while. Mumbai - Bombay to me. Memories come flooding back. It feels like I have come back full circle. Our first date - sitting in the front garden of this very home with J. I remember coming back home that night and talking about my date late into the night with my friend. "He loves me? He loves me not?" Happy carefree days... Here I am again. She has once again opened her heart and home to me. We talk even now like old times but these are different days. We have gone through huge life stuff. I remember a coffee shop we frequented down the road on Kemps corner- Julius loved kona coffee. Not sure if this place still exists. The city gets more concrete. Multi-storied buildings - high risers - very high risers and slums, very often on the same street. So much is new and yet so much is so familiar. It is hot - even at this early morning hour the temperature is 30 C. I check the forecast and there is no rain in sight... and
