Mumbai - The city of dreams..

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]

Its actually interesting and something that evokes the thought process. Though we have access to these puzzles in many ways, ie, via net, mob application, etc, I would prefer to have mine right from the back of the hindu newspaper along with its difficulty rating. Anything beyond a star rating of four implies ' do not attempt' for me. First and foremost because of the fact that the usual weekend mornings are not blessed with long hours of relaxation and enjoyment, and secondly because my patience gets exhausted at the mere thought of not finishing it, for what irks me most is the process of spending a lot of time and energy without obtaining any result. Thank God, it has never happened to me before (because I've never taken that pain of spending a lot of time and energy :P). Anyway emerging from drifting thoughts, let me focus on my mainstream topic now. It consists of 81 small boxes divided into 9 major boxes each containing 9 each[ 9*9=81, makes sence, na? :), in...

Random thoughts !!

Maybe because of the fact that all my days are truly boring and non eventful, maybe not, i dont know( i am good at coming up with excuses) that i refrain from posting in daily. Life as usual is truly hectic and not easy to describe the complex functionalities of the daily life, which can't be given a vivid description, but i assure you, survival is most difficult and what all things we do to just move is absolutely amzing and stunning, right from pleasing our teachers and doing assignments to the ever perilous task of explaining why your late for class, and coming up with new innovative excuses every morning does constitute a major chunk of our college life. And unlike the old days, when people used to say that college life is the best part ( still hear it a lot), i find it a struggle to merely move on, i mean the only real time we have is used up for finishing off daily chores and mugging for the next day, and you wouldn't believe it, there are teachers who actually punish yo...

The blog post!

To start with, I think I should justify the heading, the title post, well, this is again one of those blog posts I'm putting in after a very very long time in which a lot of wonderful and not so wonderful things have happened in my life. Well thats why its called "The blog post!" One of the books I have been recently reading is Sidin Vadukut's Who let the dork out?. About the book and all, its quite funny and interesting and it was more interesting for me as was written by a malayali. Some words randomly thrown here and there did make some sense to me! The sad part is that well, in between I got lazy and still have around 50 pages towards the climax. This trait of my character that I identified is that I do not like to dive deep into anything. I might find something interesting and trust me, I dont even start with anything if I dont find it very interesting.I get the plot then I leave. Its too difficult to keep my interest pinned onto something. But these days ...
