Bombay beginnings

Bombay isn't treating me too well...this is the third day that i was travelling alone after mum left, n i already have taken the wrong train twice!!! plus i have a very very hard time figuring out where the ladies first class is going to be.Plus theres the rain.Its been raining continuously ever since i came here. It rains every waking moment.It rains every fucking time i decide to step out.Its really ridiculous.Now i'd heard a lot of things about the Mumbai rains!!! good things really...things like oh! its so very romantic...Yes, if you are sitting by the sea, at Marine drive and have no worries about travelling in the locals with the vile people around you,for an hour, before you get home...Yes, it certainly is a very romantic thing. But not all that great a thing when you are stuck in between ten thousand other people, pushing and shoving to breathe peacefully, on a dirty slippery platform/train...whatever!!! I was just telling someone today that if it rained like this back home, in kolkata, for two days at a stretch all activities would come to a standstill, schools, colleges, n even offices at times...!!! People here though really seen completely undettered by it. n by that i mean completely! But its also nice in a way to see how life goes on, undaunted, despite everything in Bombay.Probably thats why people say the Bombay spirit!!! am still to catch a hang of that spirit.Hope it doesnt take me too long

i am returning for my second post after a day's absense. one would be wondering that someone who has so recently created her blog, n her first one at should should be a lill more excited than that. trust me, i am...just that yesterday was a long long day...had classes from 10 in the morning, so had to wake up at like 8.. and not being a complete night person that i am you can imagine what a feat it must have been.Anyway, the day at XIC was really interesting...am glad i chose to come here.Our first class was on the basics of radio...quite interesting actually.By the end of the month we have to make our own radio show...should be fun!!! that apart we had a class on presentation skills. a vey fruitful day indeed. by the end of the day, our group won in an activity conducted n i think all 6 of us in the group realized we are perfect ekta kapoor's "saans bahu" material...ar at least good at creating such matertial :P Anyway mum had to leave after that, but her train got cancelled....thanks to the maoists...!!! so we did a lot of shit and finallly got her up on another train later that night... i hope she reaches home safe :) Was a lill down after that, coz from here own i am completely on my own here, with not too many friends to brag about.Lets see how it goes n from here. Wish me luck
