Maximum City

Hello Readers,

I finished maximum city by Suketu Mehta, The book is basically all about MUMBAI.

A stupendous book of the city of people ho never sleeps. I felt it very good as I am miles apart from my city and the book reminds me every bit of the soil of mumbai.

He has put 8 years of research going to the slums of Jogeshwari and dharavi to going to the Dance bars and talking with underworld people its just amazing.

I used to go to the local hotel at night 2 o'clock and had fun having Dal fry and jeera rice or Pav Bhaji, Vada paav at station at night 3-4 a.m. I really miss it a lot.

This reminds an incident that took place 10 years back, we a group of friends were at my friend's flat as it was vacant and we wen to the Hotel as usual about 3 o'clock and while returning back we were stopped by a couple of cops in the middle of the road. He made we 7 guys stand on the divider and asking for the name and where abouts of us. They did not found anything wrong as we had not consume alcohol. Then they ask us to go to the home immediately with a constable and also instructed the constable to search the house. The constable did not utter a single word on the way back to the house. We gave him some food to eat and when he as about to left he told us to come with him for the other formalities. We left with him.

When we reached that place we found two man lying on the road with lots and lots of blood on the road the police told us they had shot 2 gangsters. but hang on when we passed by them I had a look over a man and yes I remembered him standing with the Police during our first interaction with the cops...Oh...my god was this the fake encounter...

We did not spoke a word about the incident to anyone for the fear of cops and we were just school going kids at that time..

Rest is going good as Diwali time is coming nearer.

I need a break desperately.
