My Space

I went shopping to Dadar, and it was a journey through the shabby bylanes in Mumbai. I went to Dadar, and  walking in the middle of the congested road gave me the jitters, but it was the only way to get through. An hour and a half of shopping later, it was time to get back on the local train, and head back home. The local train brought back memories of when I broke my glasses in the crowded second class. I was a long time ago, I was in class 8 I guess. The ride on first class was truly first class, and I took snaps and a lengthy video of the journey. Dinner was good, and was a veg thaali accompanied by mutton curry.. Mumbai Train ride Here are the pictures..

So I am back in Mumbai and it was a kind of impromptu decision to come here. I opted the cheapest option to get to the airport. I took the bus to the airport for the first time, and found it very hassle free, and time saving. Lugging the heavy bag to the Srinagar Bus stand was the only difficult part. Route number 10 came almost immediately, and it was an air conditioned ride to Majestic.. It cost me 20 bucks and about 25 minuted to get there, and the BIAL 9 was just leaving majestic when I boarded it.

But atleast they paid up. I'm feeling a bit dazed right now, and it is surprising how much a trip can offset you from your daily routine.

Usual phone calls followed and the usual assurances from the other end. I will go out for dinner soon, wonder what I will have..
