An experience to remember indeed! Getting into (and out of) a local train in the peak hours in the busy city on Mumbai can truly be a nerve wrecking affair...
Today, i dared to try and do what millions of commuters here do day in and day out.. From Dadar to Andheri at 6 pm on a Monday.. Getting a ticket wasn't a difficult job.. And so i thought that it would be as easy as that to get on board.. Reaching the platform i saw almost noone there and wondered what the fuss everone made was all about.. Then came the announcement, "Fast train to Borivali arriving at platform number 3......." And out of nowhere there appeared people, people and more people! I was stunned at the speed at which all of them turned up... Then came the ultimate task.. Getting on the train.. Before people could get off, there was this pushing, pulling, yelling, screaming..... And i decided to takethe next train.. A similar thing happened when the next train came.. This is when i realised that it wasn't my piece of cake!
Ultimately i managed to board a slow train at around 7 pm when the crowds had reduced a bit..
God bless all those who endure this challenge every day!

A tearful goodbye!
End of final year... Always the saddest and the happiest time in any institute.. Sad cause u leave the alma mater and all your wonderful memories behind.. Happy cause you progress to a new world, a place you haven't ever been to.. A place where you can explore new things..
Amongst all the mixed feelings, its kinda a tearful goodbye!

Sentiments?!
Conflicts.. Well they do affect us even if we aren't involved in them.. Don't they?! When I recently tried to put an end to one such endless pointless fight, I heard someone say "sentiments of people have been hurt... so this conflict cannot be resolved!"
Here's what i say, "FLUSH THEM(=sentiments) DOWN THE DRAIN AND COME TO REALITY."

Long Time.. No Post..
Well crappy crap crap...
Thats the way life has kinda been in these last few months.. So i've not really had time to post here.. Here's a post about nothing at all.. Just to restart the addiction which i so dearly miss!
