Crazy Days

Questions Questions and Question!!! Why does everyone think that they are Derek O Brien and I am participating in Bournvita quiz contest?

Client: What's the status??? What doubts do you have??? What updates do you have???? When will the testing Complete???


Why do things have to be piece meal. Come on i am not a kid trying to over eat.


Manager: What is the current status of the project?? When is the install?? When will the documentation be over???


Gimme a break. When will he understand that he is the person who has to answer these question!!! I wish i could tell him.... "I am a bloody coder. You are the manager stuck to excel sheets. Wake Up!!!"


Event Manager: What is the plan??? Which events to do?? When to do?? Where to do?? How to do???


Hello....... Grow up!!!! Giving  us a "7th class mathematical example" kind of budget, you can't expect us to plan the event!!! 40,000 for fashion show. What... are we calling Kangana Ranaut as show stopper?? 3000 for prizes!!! Seems like the winners are gonna get a Pencil box and a pocket dictionary.


I think winning Bournvita quiz contest is easier than answering all these stupid question.

Mumbai!!!

Mumbai... A city where dreams come true!!!! Thats what all the film stars say. And what i say is, "thats true". It was like a dream for me, to go places, wander in the streets aimlessly, talk to unknown people, live my life my way. So for once i believed these film stars and went to Mumbai to fulfill my silly stupid dream. That is the main reason for my visit to mumbai and of course my cousin also asked me to visit Mumbai, so that is another reason.


What i did in Mumbai: Njoyed....That's the only term that comes to my mind.


I ate: Cheesy Mysore Masala Dosa on the road opposite...errr.... methibai college...?? some college..not sure about the name. Thanks to my cousin.


I Wandered: All the way from colaba to churchgate. Girl's never understand directions!!!! I took a local from andheri to churchgate, then a taxi from churchgate to colaba. Wandering aimlessly in colaba, i again reached curchgate station on foot. Then i realized.. "Ohh,.. I didn't see the gateway!!!" Again i took a taxi from churchgate to colaba to see the gateway :)


Late Night walks: Brandstand...and Carter Road... The first was awesome, the latter was a little boring. Again, thanks to my cousin.


Other Places: Hiranandaani... Mahalaxmi temple.. Haji Ali... Banganga.... Cadbury house.. Mannat... and so on


Special Experiences: Local Train. I just loved it. One of the best mode of inter city transport i have ever seen. Yes, it is crowded, but its just fun. No waiting for hours together for the bus to arrive, No Traffic Jam...and no tension of getting into the wrong bus. My best experience was evening 5:30 local from churchgate to andheri. Ladies compartment..Standing on one feet :)


Tips i got from people on how to get down from the local: If you have to get down at andheri, start moving from your place when the train is at dadar station, in case you are sitting in the 1st seat near the door. Dadar is 4 stops away from andheri. Slowly ask every person in front of you as to where they will get down. Once you reach the person who says they will get down at andheri, stand behind them. When your stop comes, "Focus". All your attention should be in going straight out of the door, else you might end up going in the reverse direction. hehe..


My Favorite Place: One is Brandstand. It is just an awesome place to walk. So calm...so serene... 
Second is Haji Ali. I just fell in love with the walk-way to haji ali. Water on both side and a small path on which you are walking, the waves come and hit the path, the mild sound of the waves. No metal barriers No human barriers!!!! Its like you are magically walking on water.


And last but not the least, people there are busy with their life, but when you ask for help they never mislead you.


All in all a wonderful place and wonderful experience.
