A Stormy Welcome



Hey everyone! I recently spent an entire month in Mumbai at my grandpa's home, and I have to say, it was a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences. From surviving a crazy dust storm to immersing myself in the magic of Bollywood, my time in Mumbai was anything but ordinary.

I arrived in Mumbai around 11:00 pm, greeted by a severe dust storm. The wind was so fierce that it broke the glass window in my room right in front of me. Just imagine the force of that wind! Trees were uprooted, and sadly, dozens of people lost their lives during that storm. My uncle, who works as a GM at L&T, was stuck in the insane traffic that Mumbai is famous for. I was anxious, waiting for him to come home safely.

A Day After the Storm

The next day, everything returned to normal. I watched a movie called "Laapta Ladies," which my friends had recommended. It was a fantastic film, and I hope it brings a fresh wave of creativity to Bollywood. Speaking of Bollywood, let me dive into my love for it!

 Bollywood Dreamland

I've been a Bollywood fanatic since childhood, so visiting the Bollywood Film City was a dream come true. I explored numerous film sets and witnessed the tireless work that goes into making movies. Despite the scorching heatwave, directors and actors were passionately working on their projects. Kudos to their dedication.

Starstruck and Entertained

We enjoyed various shows, including comedy acts, a concert, and a mesmerizing dance performance. The highlight was trying on Bollywood costumes and having a fabulous photoshoot with my mom. It was an awesomesauce experience! Seeing the behind-the-scenes magic of film editing, especially the action sequences, left me shell-shocked. Everything is crafted meticulously on set – it was a different world altogether.

 More Than Just Bollywood

Apart from Bollywood, I visited malls, amusement parks, and Snow World with my family. We also indulged in some shopping – I mean, how can you resist Mumbai's vibrant markets? Time flew by, and before I knew it, my month-long adventure had come to an end.

 Until Next Time, Mumbai!

This trip was truly a beautiful experience, and I can't wait to share more about it in my next visit, probably this December. Thanks for sticking around and reading my blog. Stay tuned for more exciting stories and adventures!


Catch you later, folks!

STEPS TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS

 Hey  readers! Hope you are doing great and  you would be eager to read my next blog after a long time . Before, I explore about the topic, I would like to bring to limelight a small poem as an introduction for my topic.  Can’t you hear my silent screams? They are so loud that they echo in my dream. Behind the face that carries a smile, Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile. My silent screams have been going on for years, But it always falls on so many deaf ears. How can they hear that silent screams in their mind? They can’t hear my thoughts if I keep telling that I am fine. What can I tell them?  These silent screams carry no words. It’s just feeling of sadness and darkness that come in its herds, How can I explain so people understand this? It’s like walking around a suffocating black mist. I can’t explain how this feels, it’s so extreme, So, I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams. After reading this, I hope that you would have presumed it’s ...

Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?

 Hey readers! Hope you are doing great...I am Safa, to elucidate about yet another age-old question, "Women Equality a Myth or a Reality?"  Revered readers, what do you presume it to be a myth or a reality? I would like you to just ponder upon this topic and kindly peruse it.  First, let me bring to limelight, what do you think about the equality of women during the Vedic Period? You may  feel perplexed but the answer is, women during the Vedic Period enjoyed equal and ecstatic status with men in all aspects of life. Works by ancient Indian grammarians such as Patanjali and Katyayana suggest that, women were educated in early vedic period. Women possessed zestful power and personalities . They have ruled over empires ably and effectively. Besides capable administration they were notable poets, scholars, artist and regional leaders .  After reading this I believe, you would feel as if on cloud 9 and yes, you would have felt kinda queer.  However, I feel subp...
