The Mumbai of Duality







Left: Lalit Intercontinental

Mumbai: You step out of a five-star hotel with motorized curtains and soups that cost INR 500.00, to a street where people dry their clothes in their living room just under an over-bridge.

Life is built on hope. Survival of the species is premised on survival of the spirit. However, spirituality is built on contentment. Survival of the spark is premised on survival of equanimity. We can never be really happy looking up. For every C-class, there is an S-class.

The biggest folly in man is his quest for petty highs with the sophistication of high pettiness. Unfortunately, nobody ever took his Maybach or Presidency with him to the afterlife.
