why bombay

because i first felt freedom there.

sometimes you don't even know you need freedom from something. bombay set me free. and made me realise that i had been trapped.

i've felt that again recently. of freedom from something that i didn't even know had entrapped me.

cities are not just physical spaces, they are mental landscapes. they can mould you, they can shape you. this blog is an ode to the city that first made me feel free, that first made me grow in the way that i understand growth. and because it's not just a city, it's a state of mind, it can keep changing. bombay is inside us. we have to keep reinventing ourselves to find bombay.

if you don't watch out, you'll lose bombay.
and really. it's bombay for me. it could be besel for pieter. bogota for julio.
