| When was the last time you enjoyed your day at any Mumbai sea shore? |
There is a saying in Marathi, 'अज्ञानात सुख असते ,' which means there is happiness in not knowing things (or being unaware), and this image is a sheer example of that. I visited the Dadar Chowpatty today expecting some breeze, but I was only welcomed by the burning sun. As I found a shed to stand I noticed these school kids and a newly Bombay shifted family enjoying the sea.
Let me tell y'all, the sea water seemed darker than my sense of humor and the waves were bringing loads of plastic waste along with them. However, the kids did not give a damn about any one it, and were taking a dip in the water, splashing it out on each other.
Me standing far away from them, went in nostalgia about the time when my grandfather used to take me in the same water as a child. After 10 years maybe the kids too will look back and wonder if they had entered this water and crib about the pollution we create. But this moment will bring a smile on their face and make them relive it.
I wonder if I will ever wet my feet in those waves again, but I am happy they did.
