Life is never fair, it keeps playing with us. My journey in this new city has been incredible and adventurous. The city tried its best to reject me, but I am just too good for it (wink). The past one year I lived in a hostel, a sad, depressing one! Talk about irony. The place was bizarre, more than letting girls live peacefully there; it was more like treating some prisoners! Cruel and sadist in life, they were, for sure! Fortunately I could make good friends there.
One day, there was a heavy downpour, and it was the first place in the whole of Mumbai to get flooded, even with a small of rain-shower, 5 of us went out, walked on and on, in knee-deep water, in search of an internet café J. Such frustrated we were at that hostel and without our own laptops, we felt cut off from the world! In the first five minutes of our journey, I broke my umbrella! Moving on, we caught a cab and we hurried in. The driver looked at us, opened the front seat door where my friend was sitting and curtly told us to move out, we asked why? He said, “Aap panch ho, bas ab nikaliye, muje dusri safari leni hai!” bleh! How on earth were supposed to know that taxis take in only 5 people! We went ahead, entered a mall which we thought was freshly constructed, and the watchman shouted from behind, “Dikhta nai hai, abhi ye chalu nai hua hai!” Discourteous! We went to a mall right opposite to it, took a proper inside view of it, and concluded it was apparently empty! Went ahead, and damn!! crow-shit on my shoulder! Went to a near-by petrol pump and cleaned it.

Went to a bus stop, didn’t know which bus would go to our hostel, we kept shouting and asking all the buses that came. An old uncle, annoyed, told us, “Kya sab bus ko puch rahe ho, nai pata to aate kyu ho”, we quietly walked away. We decided to go back to the hostel and chuck the idea of the internet café, which we never found! How we grinned on our way back, one crazy day it was! J
