Low waists and Tank tops!

31st Januray. The day when I finished my project in Hyderabad and landed in Mumbai after 18 days. Cut to 20th Feb, 20 days since then and I am really an employed berozgaar! I am not doing any project as there is still some time for the new one to start. Nowhere to go (Not even office), No big “To Do” list, No real work apart from sending a few official mails and couriers and drooling over Bombabes (the word which I read in ‘Maximum City’ and instantly fell in love with!) on the road.

Mumbai changes so much in so little time. I was at Phoneix mills yesterday and before that I was there on 14th of this month. Statistically, I was visiting the place for the second time in 6 days and in a span of 6 days, the number of Sheravats and Dhupias around me doubled! May be it was the weekend effect. The most intriguing subject for me these days is the low waist jeans (Look what berozgarri can do to you). Yes, I am talking about the apparel in which you find it hard to conclude whether it is worn at the start of the waist or at the end of it. Most of the time the ‘Low waist’ ended up as the ‘Lowest of waist’, atleast in Bombay. You don’t trust me? Go and check the phoenix mills compound!

Then there is another member of this family of clothing called Tank Tops! This is another variety where the apparel manufacturers have come out with amazing precision as far as the length of the top is concerned. They are just long enough to force these females to adopt various positions while sitting and walking to show you that glimpse of their waist and they are just short enough to make them uncomfortable at times and force them to stretch it a little long, leaving all the males in “Yeh dil maange more” mode!

And on personal front, I have successfully added 45 days to my life per year. And considering that this Mumbai pollution and population will allow me to live for 40 more years, then I have literally added 4.93 years in my life! How? Pretty simple, for the past 3 days I am getting up at 7 and going on a walk instead of the usual 10! That’s like saving 3 hrs a day! I am leaving rest of the calculation to you as homework. ;-)

Cheers..
