I’ve applied for a job in Mumbai. I don’t suppose I shall get it. But I saw it advertised on our intranet, it’s in my field of expertise, and I couldn’t resist. Maeve was remarkably positive, considering how much she hates flying. Smudge didn’t seem perturbed, though the climate could be a problem for her. I don’t think she’s really considered the implications. Wait and see!
Where is Mumbai?
West coast of India.
so what if you get it?
Good question! I’ll think I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
sounds like a plan…
I like every pic of my country.I wish you all the best for your job.
Many thanks for that Soundarya, your best wishes are much appreciated.
Rob.
welcome Rob.
Smudge can cross that bridge when she comes to it, or is Smudge a He, forgive me. I am very tired. I like just saying Mumbai. Kind of falls off your tongue like candy that got away from you. Well, you just never know…you may get a call.
Smudge is a little princess. Mumbai is a good word. It’s derived from Mumba or Maha-Amba—the name of the Koli goddess Mumbadevi—and Aai, “mother” in the language of Marathi. It used to be called Bombay but I think that might have been a British invention. We seem to have spent hundreds of years cruising the planet, finding names for places that the locals didn’t like (New York?).
I knew none of this, thank you.
