Lot of adventures happened in the past 20 days and I was really busy with academics, CPIM exam preparation and also some outing :D.
1. In the first week of February, we had a URS festival outside the NITIE gate where lot of things were present to attract people like giant wheel, death’s well (maut ka kua) and much more. I was really very very interested to go there but none of my friends were ready. But one day me and A decided to go there after dinner and then some more people joined us. We saw death’s well where 2 guys rode the bike on walls of the well and 1 guy drove a car there. It was really scary to see them. After that we went to some more rides which included giant wheel. While I was in the giant wheel, I was lost in my childhood memories when I use to go in a festival called gughaal ka mela in Saharanpur with my family. I was thinking how I use to hold the hand of my father and keep myself busy in watching toys etc. there. But now time has changed and today I was in such a kind of mela without my parents. It’s been a long time when I went to my city’s mela last. It’s a different feeling today to roam at different places without holding dad’s hand because we’ve grown up. But still I want to go in such festivals with my family and want to hold my dad’s hand again to cherish those wonderful memories.
2. Next adventure happened when we were attending our regular classes. Our lecture got over and as usual we went to have a cup of tea at canteen in academic block. We always have 10 minutes break between 2 lectures. In a lax way, we spent around 15 minutes there only and then when we went to the classroom, the room was locked from inside. Actually the environmental management’s professor is very strict. Like this we were thrown out of the class. We were thinking what to do next. So we planned to go Kala Ghoda art festival in churchgate. We were a group of 9 and had lots of masti on our way to churchgate by local train. Frankly saying, I liked kala ghoda but not that much as I don’t know how to appreciate art or on what parameters. I was a feeling a kind of bore there. Not only me but my few other friends also, excluding females as they go gaga over many things.
3. After KALA GHODA, we went for dinner and on our way saw Cyrus barocha shooting for some MTV show. Since we skipped our snacks, we were very hungry and stuffed ourselves. After this, next adventure was MARINE DRIVE. It was 11 in the night and we were sitting on the side of marine drive looking at the hotel Trident’s huge building and also enjoying cool sea breeze. It was really an awesome experience. I must say that Marine drive is the best place in Mumbai. It’s also called Necklace road as it is in semi circular shape. We clicked lot of pictures also. One end of marine drive is nariman point where the last seen of Wake up sid was shot. We sat on the rocks there for around 25 minutes. After this we went back to college. But still last fun of the day was singing songs in local @ 1 am.
4. MNIK released on 12th February and I was really eager to watch that movie. But none of my friends except A and D were ready to go and watch it. So I made plan with D who backed out on the last moment due to Sena-SRK tussle. It was Saturday and I was really depressed as I couldn’t find anyone to come along with me. I talked to P on chat who watched it and he told me not to destroy my fun just because of others and I realised that I have hell lot of dreams which I have to fulfil and can’t wait for anyone’s approval. So I decided to go alone and this was my first movie watched alone in a theatre. I really enjoyed it. MNIK rocks and so my dreams :). By the way, MNIK is SRK’s best performance ever and it’s a must watch.
5. And at last but not at least, we went to Thane for tree plantation activity with a NGO called HARIYALI, last Saturday. It was fun and we plan to go there in the future also. Currently I’m really busy with CPIM preparation whose exam is on 13th march and on 14th march I’ll be off to home. Really need some break to avoid being a home sick.
