Neverending metro ride
The constantly moving pixelated text bothered me more than ever. The train kept passing stations, wheels rolling on the familiar tracks.

The brother in return promises to protect… Continue reading Banana Guy

I found myself in the rapid metro of the Millenium City aka Gurgaon now known as Gurugram. It was 8:30 pm and the metro went through Golf Course Road. It is famous for hosting offices of some of the largest companies like Zomato, KIA, Amex and so on. Now the beauty about it at night… Continue reading Millenium City
