A nearly Gatsby Summer

Taking a leaf out of Gatsby’s book..

Cabbie bhaiyya had a cool suave ‘table fan’ that kept him ‘chill’ during summers, he said.He cranked it on and it springs to life with a sleepy whir- and that jolt startled the sleepy afternoon .

and then just as the time transitions in movies , I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.

Sorry Gatsby, for Mumbai no longer boasts of green leaves bursting out of trees nor the sky that is uninterrupted by clouds !
