"You tell me,"

You're really drunk Sid.

You should go to bed.

Sid?

A re you Ok?

I know we're not talking to each other..

A nd that you're still angry.

But I thought that you would call one day

and ask me to come back home.

But.. you ne ver did.

So I decided that I wouldn't come see you

until you called first.

But today..

I got a job, Pa..

A s an assistant photographer for a magazine.

A nd I want to do this jobl

I've been working really hard this past month

I know I ne ver mentioned photography

as a career..

A nd that we ha ve a family business

to take care of..

but I feel like you'll understand.

Because photography is something

I got from you.

I'd forgotten that photography

was your passion too.

You used to take so many pictures..

why did you stop?

You grew up, son.

You didn't ha ve time

for my photographs anymore.

A nd photography had meant

nothing more to me..

.. than taking pictures of you.

My first paycheq ue, Pa. For you.

Promise me.. that from now on you..

.. will put your heart into e verything you do.

I'm sorry, Pa.

'New Girl in the gity' - by A isha Bannerjee.

Like many others before me,

I came to Mumbai with many dreams.

The biggest one was to become a writer.

W ith this column, Mumbai has made

that one dream come true.

But, e ven after a lot of struggle,

I couldn't do it justice.

E verything I wrote seemed lacking.

W hat could I say about this city

that hadn't been said before?

So I tore up my appro ved article

and began writing again.

In just two months..

I've begun to feel a strange lo ve for Mumbai,

as if its my own..

W hat lay at the core of this lo ve?

My exciting new job?

My little flat? Or my independence?

W hat has this city gi ven me

that makes me lo ve her so?

A ctually the answer had been

in front of me all along..

I just didn't see it.

I met someone the first night

that I was in Bombay.

A boy, a friend, a room mate,

a com panion -just someone.

He didn't really ha ve

any ambitions or goals..

.. but he sure knew how to enjoy his life.

W hen I look back..

I wonder if the joy

of making a new home..

.. would ha ve been the same
