Rains!!!

It was Friday when it started raining in the morning and we thought finally rain god has listened to us and poured its heart out. Everyone happy and singing as greenery set in.

Now Monday, 4th Day of unstoppable rain and good to see that no news of people getting stuck in the rain or floods in Mumbai (or news channel are all in Gujarat). Today left for office as on usual time but took a rickshaw to Goregaon station instead of regular route to Andheri. Got a fast train and got down at Bandra was feeling nice as i got a connecting train to CST.

Got onto a Panvel Train in Wadala Road and after few minutes we listen to a message that the train is canceled due to some technical problem (as A always says even if a dog pees on harbour line trains will stop). Got down went back to Bandra and thought going to office by bus (see my dedication) but when i saw the bus stop which was full and almost more than 100 people waiting for the same bus. My Dedication dwindled and left for home now sitting here and waiting for the rains to slow down so that i could do some work which was pending.

Keep falling my love...

Holi Day!!!

Got inspired by my cousin bro Ankit and again started to write up my blog...writing almost after a year. I don't know what should i do to get myself inspired.

Holi weekend just passed by and it was fun...met up with my building friends played with some colours for half an hour and then sat on our favorite spot to have Bhajiya (onion based stuff) and some chips. As A's wife b'day was on the same day we got cake also. Reached home by 1 pm and went to take bath, the damn colour from my face would not come off..tried rubbing more soap in but could not get it off...did it for half an hour and got bored. Got out and changed myself and lied on my sofa to watch TV. Planned to go to play cricket by 3:30 pm but the sun outside dampened my mood.

Then had to go for Argentine Tango class at 7:30 pm in Bandra, met up with Blake, Tim and Simmone, did some initial moves and some techniques it is fun but so difficult. I am not a fan of same set of moves....but it kind of different on how to keep your body posture straight, legs moving perfectly and your turning it the most important. I might join this class when Tim starts it in August. Got to have some moves to just impress the girls on the dance floor ;)

Then drove my way back to Malad for A's wife bday party at Morokko. Reached M in half an hour from Bandra (a personal best of mine). Everyone had just settled in before i reached so no one was angry that i was late. Lots of laugh, drinks and good food was the order of the night (Gulped in 2 Old monks, i kinda started to like it). Then decided to drive back to Juhu for South Indian Omlette. Between 7 of us gulped in 2 mysore masala omelette and 1 cheese omlette. Finished it off with Watermelon juice.

That was my Holi for you.....not eventful but memorable

Bombay DUG UP!!!

Left office at 10 pm. Got a bus reached bandra at 11 pm and then i thought i was lucky to get a call centre car to drop me next to my home. I got in it hoping that i would reach in half an hour but no it took almost an hour to reach Goregaon from Bandra.

First hurdle came near Nanavati Hospital a massive hole has being dug up at centre of the road which looks similar to a crater in the moon. Only one car can pass at a time. It took almost 20 mins to clear that hurdle.

Then came jogeshwari, the footpath on the left hand side has being dug up and the great rickshaws just come in between without any signal.

My driver an old man around age of 55+ got pissed off really at some point, whenever he saw the road empty he thought he was sitting in a ferrari and trying to zip past the rickshaws and other cars with honking galore. That the part which i hated most....

So from now on decided not to travel by road (or say call centre cars) until the slow paced BMC fill up the whole mumbai up. Go anywhere and roads are dug and traffic going insane. If the BMC does not complete the work before monsoon then gonna see a massive chaos all around.

Work fast a**h****
