My 2nd module has ended and now its vacation time. We will be on vacation till 10th of January. I want to talk about many things as I’m writing after more than 1 month’s time. So here I go:
1. Our exams ended on Monday, 21st and it was really a fun time for all of us. Soon after the exam got over at 5pm, me and my friends went to temple located near L&T. It was A’s idea. I never thought that such a nice temple lies in the vicinity of NITIE. It was really a great experience as I was visiting Lord Shiva’s temple after a long time. Then, later around 9 pm we all went to Happy singh- a restaurant cum bar. We enjoyed a lot in our chit chat. After everything was over, my friends ordered for something called TEQUILA. Basically, it’s a small drink which penetrates right through your chest and gives you the feeling of heat inside you. Since, I wanted to try it so I also ordered it. It was a great experience to try something new. Very next day, we all went to watch the most awaited movie of James Cameron—AVATAR. I really enjoyed the movie since it was the first 3D movie I waswatching. The effects were really awesome.
2. In this vacation, I’m one of those unlucky ones who don’t have the reservation for their journey :(. Yes! I don’t know why I acted in so stupid and lax way that I didn’t reserve my ticket to my place. I was in my own over confidence that I’ll be getting TATKAL ticket in the train and will be travelling like a king, without thinking about the festive season and approaching New Year. Well, somehow I woke up at 5.30 am and went to Andheri(w) station to get the ticket and I was stunned to see that even at 6.30am people were in a huge queue to get the ticket. After looking this, I was sure that I’m not going to get any ticket but still stood there with some hope. Finally, when process started at 8am, I got a ticket waitlisted at 12 in 3AC. I still don’t know whether it is going to clear or not. I’m hoping as I know “Hope is a good thing. May be the best of all things and no good things ever die”.
3. I must say that Mumbaikars are the most helpful people of India. There are many instances which I can narrate. As today when I reached andheri, the auto rickshaw dropped me at andheri(E) and when I enquired then I came to know that reservation centre was at andheri(w). So I went to an auto rickshaw to hire. But the auto rickshaw driver told me that it’s very much near and I can walk. He even showed me the way. Had I been at some other place like in north India, I would have taken away by auto rickshaw and he would have made money. Next instance was in the queue. I didn’t have the reservation form to fill the journey details. So I asked a person standing behind me. But he didn’t have. Then one old man standing behind him gave me his own form saying “I have this extra form filled on one side. You can use it by reverse side.” Like this I was helped. HAIL MUMBAIKARS !!!
4. And at last but not at least, Merry X-mas and Happy New Year to all..Enjoy!!!
