[Entry: 05] Lockdown Series: 02 Another Major Missing

this image was captured at Marine Drive by my lovely sister, Shelly

around 2 years ago during our visit to Mumbai

Dear Virtual Diary,

wish i was there now. sitting on one of those beautiful tetrapods in the Queen's Necklace or as you'd like to call it the famous, our very own Marine Drive in South Mumbai. the feeling when the soft evening breeze brush past against your face as you try to sit comfortably on the rocks. and settle yourself. and smile at your sister and check if she could balance herself. and then laugh at her if she couldn't. and then talk about the sky, the winds, the day and life. this place is filled with that aesthetic charm, which offers a domino effect of getting better gradually once you arrive here and take a look of the immenseness of the sea.

from wakeupsid to luckbychance to thatgirlinyellowboots to dhobighat, mumbai has it all under her belt, in her chokehold.

there's so much more to the place than just the place. I wish things come back to the norm as early as possible. I want to learn more stories by gazing at every face, little or old, I happen to pass by in every corner of the world. although I am not much of a traveller, but I like to observe stuff. and for a stretch of idk around 3 months? we've all been resting inside in our privates debarred completely from the outside. so at this point the only way to get back under the clouds is by scrolling through old photos and im gonna post them now as I am in love with the strong scent of nostalgia whirling around these pictures when life, we did not like to believe, was still better.
