The O's of City Connect

A to Z Challenge - My Theme-  City Connect - my connect with....
Aurangabad-Schooling & Junior College / Bombay- Graduation & First job/ Chennai - Marriage & Motherhood


AURANGABAD
ORANGISSA LEAMON -  "Orangissa Leamon - So for the peany" . Yes that's how I have been singing this rhyme all along. The actual words go as " Oranges and Lemons- Sold for a Penny".  And that's not all. There are more rhymes that get wrongly sung. English per se, is a foreign language to India.  Many a times- words in English rhymes don't sync with Indian surroundings. It's not easy to connect with word " Penny" since we hardly use it in day today context here.

BOMBAY
OFFER LETTER-  For all the Office related posts that have come to this blog - there was an Offer Letter to start with. A letter that came with an Outline of World Map. A Map to be connected by Oceans.  Then by Seas- going deep into Rivers - routing through Water channels & finally reaching the Ports. Obviously! What more did you expect in O from a person who speaks of Outbound-Inbound cargoes all the time!

CHENNAI
OLD LALA TOPIWALA -  My cravings for "Samosa" satiate here. The exterior of the Shop looks like any other " Lala ki dukaan" that you hear in movies.  White board/ Name in Bold Red Font with a picture of soft drink to go by.  But the mouth watering- delectable & authentic Samosas they serve, leave me craving for more.
