First Impressions

Here is a vague list of the odd things that I would want to write about so that before they become commonplace in my everyday routine, I capture their first impression on me. I may never get down to writing but at least the list would be a constant reminder of that what I might forget one day.

I would have liked to say the people but I don’t know enough yet to comment and run under a heavy risk of making caricatures from my little Bollywood acquired knowledge.
The language, the tone (khalipili time pass nahi karne ka!)
Naturals ice-cream – cheeku ice-cream? Really?
The houses – if there is space management it is here.
The skyline, the bay windows – the blue lights that shimmer in the distance, to borrow from Neruda
The Taxi and auto drivers
No gardens : ( (I miss Lodhi)
The pace
Rain : )
Gujarati farsan - Theplas and Khakras – Schezwan khakras, paani puri khakras, methi khakas – globalization at its very best. I’m waiting for Mexican Jalepeno khakras now!
The beaches of course – that might take a little time to review as well but I can’t wait
National anthem at the beginning of every film
Govinda ala re - dahi haandi :)
Ganpati bappa maurya !
