MUMBAI – THE COSMOPOLITAN CITY

In the cosmopolitan city of Mumbai
genuine lovers are
rare and invaluable
barring a few.
Affairs among young men and ladies
which last two or three months are common
after which each one among them seeks
affairs with another young lass and handsome youth
while genuine lovers
show declining trend
affairs among the youth
are showing an upward trend in the city.
In the cosmopolitan city of Mumbai
the number of genuine couples are rare
like exorbitant commodities
as they too are displaying downward trend.
Instead
in the place of genuine couples
two opposite sexes fall in love
believe in live-in relationships
no tying of nuptial knots
no temples or churches,
no auspicious moments
no registration and no witnesses
knowing fairly well that
within a  short-span
at the most six months
they would get fed up with living together.
Most of them get
separated after genuine handshakes
in an atmosphere of camaraderie
with only a few entering into a wedded life.
The majority who get separated
go in search of greener pastures
fish out others
who too are on the hunt
for the company of somebody
again take decisions to
enter live-in relationships
that too for a short period.
In the overcrowded and congested
cosmopolitan city of Mumbai
and for that matter any metros
familiarity is an alien word
except a few who know each other
not fully but partially.
Feels like alienation
is the hallmark of the
city of Mumbai and other metros.
In the cosmopolitan
city of Mumbai
homosexuals, lesbians,
heterosexuals, transgenders, paedophiles,
call girls, prostitutes(male and female)
and eunuchs are dime a dozen.
Still love Mumbai
like I love Kerala

genuine love ofcourse….
