Life in a Metro!

So is life in a metro really like the movie portrays it to be?

Everyone's sleeping with everyone!?! Is it really that way? It's movies like this which cloud the imagination of a small towner.

I actually over-heard this comment while coming out of the theater 'Let us go to Mumbai and get laid man!'.
2 teenagers, couldn't be more than 15 for sure.

Anyways, I am about to complete a year in Mumbai in another 10 days or so. This cities definitely a little different. Dreams and ambitions are given new highs by the occassional zephyr which happens to blow on a hot humid day. Oh yes, I dread the rains in this city - not because I hate rains but because rains mess up the already messed up city to a great extent!
Crazy traffic jams, trains become un-functional, the 1 hour journey to office becomes 2!

I liked the movie to some extent though....and it's one which every mumbaikar should watch, though I'm not sure if i would recommend it to the aspiring mumbaikars!

Biked down Mumbai-Pune this weekend. 2 hours and 7 mins of crazy biking! That too after a night when one consumed one drink too many!
The lower part of the bike got smashed in some pot-hole and has developed a leak from which the engine oil is trickling out..

Which reminds me, Mumbai doesn't give you the time to repair fridges! My fridge has been non-functional for around 2months now and somehow it's just not meant to be fixed. Had bought it for like Rs 1600....never going to buy a 2nd hand fridge ever again!

If anyone's willing to gift me a new fridge...do give me a buzz!

Cheers!

@ priya: I dont really mind being called crazy!

@ rich: Yeah pretty interesting. The wednesday to thursday appointment shift call initiated by Sharman Joshi was the highest 'linking' point.

2hrs 7 mins is just like an average speed of around 75km/hr....tho the needle was around 100+ all the time!

@ prashant: wouldn't mind a matka :-) at least water would be a lil cool.
