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
