I have a feel that i cldn see the real Mumbai, something which i knew was hard to do, but wanted to do all the same .. Maybe its true .. U get to see the real Mumbai only when u live in it .. Something which i'll get a chance to do now. Yes, i am going to go there and live there for the next two years .. And yes, i got thru Narsee Monjee .. I am finally going to do MBA .. Am not very happy abt not going to IIM, but maybe it is time to let go .. and move on :) .. to other things :)
Khair, some snippets abt my Mumbai Trip ..
> Galleria is absolutely wonderful .. Or i think Heera Nandaani as a whole is.. The best thing is the color and architecture of the buildings .. Kina reminds u of the old eras .. Here's one sample .. i was absolutely fixated by the architecture ... and yes , it did result in me being mocked by my friends .. lol .. well, i can't help it .. sometimes, i just get fixated at amazingly common things ..
> Journying on long trips,standing in CROWDED local trains never affects u when u have friends or friends of friends chatting away :) .. The same journey becomes a pain in the ass , when u have to sit/stand seperately ..and u can do nothing but stare at ur friends group standing far away and try to lip read their conversation .. lol
> Sometimes u get to watch good movies in locals too .. lol .. u know what i mean, don u .. :P
> A dark nite in the jungles.. No lights on the 'pagdandi'.. No chaand ka roshni either .. No torches with u .. Uneven roads .. Eerie silence .. Two n a half kilometeres to walk on foot uphill .. I feel dead already :P .. i am saved but .. Saving grace .. Three Lambe, one chauda guy .. lol ..
> U watch ppl working so hard for living in a hill station and feel sorry for them. A day later, u admire their hard work and siple yet happy existence .. :) .. I did .. and its amazing how music creates a bliss everywhere .. Wherever i went, i cld listen to hindi songs on radio, new and old and it was just blissful .. i can't describe the experience .. I felt music made their hard life a lot more musical :)
> Nothing beats a good old neembo paani .. or a glass of chaach in quenching thirst :)
> No matter how much u slap ur back for performing in the gym, when faced in the real world , u always fall short of the required stamina ..lol ..
> I repeat, i could not see the REAL MUMBAI :((
> Marine drive is a great place to sit and chat with ur friends .. And chaupati in Mumbai is better than the beaches in Chennai .. All the lights around make it so much more lively .. And happy :) .. Plus u can pretend to be taking pics of the lights while actually taking any couple's pic - to check out the guy and the girl .. lol .. :P yes , we did this :)
> The best thing in Mumbai - the tel malish waalas .. if i stay there , i guess i wld go to the beaches just to have a good pair maalish .. Its so relaxing .. and did i say cheap :P ..Our maalish waala was fun too :) ..
> Fashion Street is not as good as they say it is .. First the stuff there is not that great .. Secod , after seeing not so geat stuff , u get tempted to buy even just decent stuff , because they are so cheap .. Third, before u know, u wld have spent more than what u intended to :P .. Fourth, u always get dissapointed after returning from there.. sometimes because the clothes are not a correct fit , sometimes because they contain blemishes u din see then .. and sometimes just because u don like them in ur room :P ..
a tip :- never let the shopkeeper know if really want something .. u'll invariably buy it at a much higeher price :) .
> And aah, after travelling in flight the train journeys seem to be 'oh so long' :P .. i am a flight
person now :)
This post will be updated as and when i keep remembering stuff :) ...
