A traffic jam on the over bridge, an hour from east to west; a gentle breeze touches the pipal canopy etched against the just-about orange sky as a truck trailer carries an oversized Ganpati home, escorted by a gleeful orange bandana and T contingent.
The Worli- Bandra bridge cuts across, a ribbon spanning the sea; just ahead in silhouette is a 34-storeyed apartment under construction, the arm of the crane juts out like a black palm holding a golden sky. “Three to five years, sorry,” I mumble, looking at the golden orb dip in the distant ocean.

Wow to the description of the arm of the crame jutting out like a black palm holding a golden sky..I wonder what you'd write,on seeing the Dubai skyline-sometimes,all I can see above a few stories is these cranes..complete communities of cranes,in fact-and,I don't have to 'crane me neck' to see them.:)Lovely description,Austy,as always.

amit-touchwood. festival times and something's special in the air. D'bai? Perhaps the traffic would enthrall, squealing tyres and all- maybe the silouhette glass towers and golden lights. :)

manuji- yep. and the parent built one such, from the time the tram terminal was right there, buggies too, and the bridge a distant dream.
