Naan Mumbai poreannnn.....

I guess it was the first week of August 2006, at the corrider of T4 centre in coimbatore, a group of teenagers what ??? Group of teenagers NOOOOOOO its herd of teenagers would be right, were fluttering due to the allocation of base branch. Before I went to see my allocation there was a instinct about place I have to report. Eventhough I didnt give in the choice but someone in me (alter ego inside me) was chuckling that you will be in MUMBAI. As I went to through the list to the happiness of my alter ego I was placed in Mumbai. It was a weird kind of feeling not happy nor sad. Though on one side I was vex as i didnt get Chennai.. I was excited to go to Mumbai.. All in my mind that time was that I am going to some Big.. Fashsion.. Crowd city. I called my mother to say that, I am going to Mumbai. Phone rings.. "Is it Chennai ??" She asked as she picked the call. I wonder how she know that about my allocation. "How do know its chennai ? Didnt even say, for what I called? How you guessed about my allocation? " I asked in suprise. "Last time when I called you told na about allocation" she told in some hard voice. I was not able to predict the tone in which she said. "Naan Mumbai Porean maa"

Newtons III law For Mumbai

"Every action has equal and opposite Reaction"- III law of Newton. I still remember the day when I got the news in my company that I was posted in Mumbai. When I told my peers, friends and relatives I want to list their reactions for them. Their advices are still lingering in my ears.

1. Mumbai is a very crowded and densely populated .
2. Oh! that Human Jungle
3. Birthplace of all crimes
4. Dangerous place
5. City of crowded transport
6. City which anounces curfew every now and then
7. Any time bomb blast could happen
8. City which can drown in monsoon
9. And lots......

No Positive reactions or replies..which I was craving for.. Because this is a place which I was dreaming to start my career from my sophomore days. When I came to this place earlier en route to Daman for a Rotaract conference, I was stuck in the Mumbai locals. But this place attracted me a lot and I wanted to be here for its a place ,I thought, is competitive and people are active and hardly you find people lazy here. The people in Mumbai, in their 33% of their lifetime spend only in travelling. And you have lots and lots of options for public transport. I would say the Mumbai Auto Rickshaws have proper meters when compare to our place in the southern coasts of the country. So I would begin this story with all my dreams and love about this place when I landed on June 28th 2006 at Dadar Station. This story continues from here....
