What a fantastic idea...
by Sagar on Aug 05, 2005 02:19 AM

...If only it were that simple. But hey, getting freedom from
the pohms wasn't simple either. A lot of it really makes a lot
of sense. There are some perspectives that I personally
never saw this situation from, but the columnist seems to
have clarified a lot of issues.

I am out of India and have been out for a while now. I do
believe that I share true patriotic feelings for India, but the
place I really miss is Mumbai. Nothing will please me more
than to come back to mumbai really. But even though I have
a house in a very convenient location in the city, it is virtually
impossible to expect to start a new family life there. Call me
selfish or whatever you want, but soon there will be a lot of
well educated people leaving mumbai, not necessarily for a
foreign country, but for a foreign state within the country. I do
assume that it has already started.

I don't really know how to end this letter, but I do know that
selfish people like me, on the inside truely love the country
of mumbai, the state of mumbai, but cannot stand the
concept of the city of mumbai. This doesn't mean make
mumbai a country, but if mumbai can run the country, then
I'm damn sure that mumbai can run mumbai.
