Déjà vu

My Dad is a very open person. He likes to share stories of how he was brought up, how he came to Mumbai, how he made a living etc. When I was young, whenever we used to pass by Sewree, an area in south central part of Mumbai; he would point at one building, get a little nostalgic and would say - 'My first job in Mumbai was as an accountant in that building'. A ten year old me could only take that as a piece of trivia.

Cut..

Few months ago, I was visiting some friends in Jersey City. After a long dinner reminiscing about school and college days, I decided to take a walk starting from water front to Morris Canal Park, one of my favorite spots in that area (You will know the reason if you look at this picture)

Anyways, I stopped by 30 Hudson St. building which used to house thousands of Goldman Sachs employees. Pointing towards the south side of the fifth floor of the building, I said to my friend - 'You see that floor. I started my first job there.'

And suddenly I could relate to what my Dad was saying all those years ago :)
