Since we have come to Mumbai, we have witnessed numerous festivals, more so because it was such time of the year. At first, it was Ganesh puja, then Durga puja, Dushara, and lastly Diwali. Ganeshotsav is celebrated with great enthusiasm here. Almost every household will bring an idol of Ganesha, either big or small and will worship and celebrate for a certain number of days before it is immersed in the sea. One day, I happened to see the dances that people perform during that time on the streets, be it Bandra or Andheri. Ladies all decked up, matching step with step, with colourful costumes dancing merrily and the men folks also taking part alongside. One thing they take care of is the traffic, which does slow down but is not disrupted altogether. In North India, you might notice that even a small wedding procession will result in traffic jam. In this civic sense, Maharashtra scores over north India.

When we planned to shift base to Mumbai from Gurgaon, we thought we might not like the hustle and bustle of the city, the life is too mechanical they say, the bigger the metropolis, the more mechanical your life is, the wise men point it out. In Mumbai, you can’t escape the distances and the crowds. Gurgaon was a quieter place in comparison, a big concrete jungle I can say, with the Mall mania growing leaps and bounds. Mumbai has a different soul to it.

Welcome to GutFeel.com! This new look to Gutfeel.com was due for a long time now. It was getting delayed by one thing or the other, my work, shifting to Mumbai and so on. But when a hacker hacked the forum last week, it served as a last straw and I decided to try out something new with my site. The general concept will remain the same, you are still welcome to express your opinions, however now it will look more like any other blog on the Internet, might not sound the same though ;-). So welcome to my new world once again and express what you feel!
