Really, who says so? :(<br /><br />Kala Ghoda film festival.. I bet you haven't been there! Else you couldn't be as ruthless!<br /><br />Despite all the times I had to give on to a smile while reading this, I feel deeply offended as an earnest Bombay lover. How can one, ever, not fall in love with Bombay! Are you sure you went to the right place? :'(sinjini senguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04304802955738879299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855248342256284358.post-27558807687685835402012-10-30T23:17:27.288+05:302012-10-30T23:17:27.288+05:30Wonderful.What fertile imagination... and then Far...Wonderful.What fertile imagination... and then Fardeen Khan.Awesome.innerspacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679126088804973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855248342256284358.post-88364175790647118262012-06-16T22:01:46.520+05:302012-06-16T22:01:46.520+05:30That wasn't intentional.

You write excellently as is your wont, but sadly, I am all-too-conscious of your true feelings about this city to be able to accept your essay on its face value. With consummate skill, you hide your bitterness and dissatisfaction behind your playful and delectable prose, replete with backhanded compliments and equally backhanded - but subtle - denunciations, nonetheless a joy to read.SUIRAUQAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918432443330964561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6855248342256284358.post-27070684766979750762012-06-10T22:06:36.746+05:302012-06-10T22:06:36.746+05:30Hahahahaha ....
