N.M.A.P

Woooh...i am back from Bombay and nothing can compare the amazing feeling i have right now.As far as title of this blog goes,it means, No More Adventures Please (N.M.A.P).You must be wondering what exactly happened on my Bombay trip.Lots of things actually.
I ll start with the train journey from pune to bombay. I took a ticket for second class and guessed it shall suffice for a reserved seat only to be proved wrong by the TT. Luckily though, the TT was kind enough to provide me and my friend with a seat at a nominal additional price of 30 rupees. Now the thing is our luck seemed to desert us here.
We experienced Mumbai local's rush hour first hand plus the delays cuz of some freak accident. After reaching our destination we searched for an hour,but sadly couldn't find a decent hotel. One place we went to was a 2 room shady apartment managed by a lady who seemed more like a pimp than a hotel manager. And next thing you know we were running out of that place at break neck speeds.
After trying every maneuver in the book to find a place to spend the night, we finally called our trusted senior "joy" who stayed 30 mins away and he was kind enough to invite us to his place. Joy's apartment was small but nice and as soon as i lay down,i dozed off only to be awakened by joy's phone alarm. It was 5 in the morning,time when life of a working guy starts in mumbai. After getting ready we rushed to our exam center. As far as the exam is concerned it went well. The real show started after exam.
The thing about Indian police that puzzles me the most is they trouble harmless people while turning a blind eye to scoundrels and criminals. This time they decided to trouble me and my friend. As we were enquiring about trains to Pune at Dadar station, this policewalla called us and started enquiring about our whereabouts. He checked our id's,our luggage and even our cell phones. When he couldn't find anything against us , he bore an irritated look on his face and asked us to get lost.
Thanking our stars that we weren't carrying any alcohol, we found the first way out of that place,took a bus and left for pune.Only thing that added to our misery was the delay in reaching pune cuz the tyre of our bus punctured and they took an hour to replace it.Still i am safely back home and 2 beers down as i post this blog. All in all it was a great learning experience and 3 cheers to pune.It is indeed the city to live in..:-)
