I am back with another account of my mumbai stay!!! Finally, mom allowed me to go and explore mumbai on my own :D , so off I went exploring mumbai ( and ofcourse my limit of stupidness :P ). Like all experienced people I had seen, I started off with asking the local people about the bus stand and bus number. And on sunday, my friend and me started our journey. Went to the bus stand, twice got on the wrong bus :P , got down at the next stop, waited for an hour for the correct bus to arrive (all the time asking myself “why am I doing this???” :P :P) , got into a very very crowded bus but still managed to get a seat!!! Thank god we got down at the right stop :D. Bandra. Had heard a lot about shoppping there ( and ofcourse the bargaining :P). The first view: damn, so many shops!!! where do I start?? so my friend started off and I just kept staring at the goods being sold, never have I seen so many varieties in one street. Later even I shopped :D and it was fun!!! So in bandra, we went to hill road and link road. Wanted to go to bandstand too but sadly coudn't go :( . And on the return journey, we didn't make any mistake!!! and came back safely ( to my mom's relief :P )
So this was about my weekend, but the fun doesn't stop here!!!
On monday after office, yawen and me went trekking on a hill !!! Didn't think that it was getting dark and raining hard :P . The board at the foot of the hill which stated “Entry restricted from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am. Panther is being frequently sighted” also coudn't stop the flow of adrenaline in our bodies :P :P , though we did apply insect repellant cream in hope to scare the panther away :P :P. Off we went. Never have I been so reckless and casual about my safety. But you know what? I totally loved it!!! Climbing up the slopes, all we could do was mutter words which I cannot type here ;) but the view , awesome!!! The whole powai region, the lakes, the hills everything looked just perfect. I wish I was a poet, could have described the beauty better but WoW!!! We kept walking, not knowing where we were going, but somehow we ended up at hostel 1 :D . After so much physical exertion, all that was on our minds was food :( , so started our search for it. Well, did not have to wait long :D had maggi!! and then we took an auto as our legs were totally not in our control :P :P . Showed Yawen a bollywood movie with eng subtitles, which she liked :) except the song and dance routine :P :P and finally went to sleep with a bit of fever and stomach ache (aftermath of a physical exertion, I should not have made :P :P) .
P.S do pray that I come back safe and sound (seems unlikely with my stupid acts :P :P )
