Have heard stories of people heading to Mumbai to make it big in life. If you want to make it big in life, Mumbai is the place to be in.
So here I am, Mumbai the city of dreams..
First week was at a luxurious hotel, so no complaints there. Office is a sprawling campus with a huge building right at the centre of the city. Enjoyed the first few days making news friends, having the good food and enjoying the high life at this busy city.
Flat hunting was a painful exercise as usual with brokers trying to outsmart us at every move. Will get to that in a bit.
Let me describe my hotel stay a bit more elaborately, it was an amazing hotel room with all the amenities that you would expect from a modern hotel. It had hot water. Of all the things available in a hotel, including AC, I believe the best part is hot water. Makes all your tiredness go away, or makes you tired enough to hit the bed. Gives you the feeling of freshness all of a sudden, that blast of freshness out of nowhere.
So, in addition to that we had an AC, much needed in the sweltering heat and dust of Mumbai and some benefits like 2 pieces of laundry everyday, Wi-Fi. What would life have been if Wi-Fi was not available? I wonder..
Now coming to the bed, the all comfortable spring bed with blankets to tuck you in. Ah peace. Just what you need after a tired day struggling with life in general.
Oh and I almost forgot the TV, another one of those modern day amenities without which you can hardly survive these days. All these things combined, it was overall a very pampering and comfortable stay at the hotel in Mumbai which I refuse to name.
Coming to my favourite part, FOOD.
We had a complimentary breakfast and dinner covered as a part of the package. The food was indeed amazing, with almost all varieties of continental, chinese, what not. The only catch in this part was that I was on lent which closed the door to all the non-veg delicacies that were served there.
Made to do with all the varieties of paneer dishes available there. Tried everything including paneer fry, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala and so on. Had all the paneer one needs for a lifetime in that one week. So this was the amazing high life that I had during the first week of my 2 month stay at Mumbai.
Company pampered us a bit more with an air conditioned bus to commute to and fro from office. What more can you ask for? Well actually nothing!
Except for the part that all good things must come to an end. And thus that adventure also came to an end after about a week.
Attaching a few pics: [ Doesn't capture the awesomeness, yet you can have a look :P]
