the FABULOUS trip to bbay..........

well, hello ppl........i KNOW i didnt blog for a LONG LONG while.........takes time to get in control of time in the coll n hostel life(yeah at least for ME!! i knw worse cases.......G for example...;-D).....well, newaz....movin on.........

ya so recently, i acted on YET anthr whim n plannd to go to Bombay......well, lookin for tikts 4 days in advance in the INDIAN railway system at least always is a BIT o a trick..but well, as all peaceful ppl in india, who sleep until lightnin strikes, i DIDNT get the reservation(unless o course i waited with baited breath, LITERALLY, with a hundred or so 2nd class wishfuls....NOT HAPPENIN...)...ya so for a student who already has HELLUVA loads o pressure on her, i still decided to try my luk with the BUSES(note tht i didnt have prior experience..VERY imp!!) hmm..the railway tikts wudve cost me abt 500/-, with return.........the Volvo guy cost me 750/- ONE way, but the ac sleeper bus cost me 500/- (AGAIN one way..)...hrmpf! bttr at least........'fine' i said...at least i get to LEAVE(yes, i STILL dnt like NID..)....hmm....settled.

my reservation: friday evenin 7pm.......leave at 6:45pm.....said goodbye to several friends....decided to spend some quality time with parents only n no hangin arnd too much(YEAH RIGHT!!).. reached the bloody bus stand after crossing a HUGE road junction(death trap for pedestrians in Ahmedabad if u ask me!)..alive...GLAD!

7:05pm.......bus:nowhere to be seen.......oh here it comes!!(7:25pm)..doesnt look to good.......mayb bttr from inside.....newaz,talkin to Joshi on cell.....doesnt matter.......we'll see....life will b better.....

entered the bus abt 15mins later, coz o scanty females arnd the bus...didnt seem safe(ah well.....thts a lil setbak o bein female..gotta b careful, right?!!)..nehow........got into the HOT bus..ya ud think it was AC!!!!...well, thought mayb theyll put it on later..went on talkin to my pal.....slept off....kept wakin up in between....never saw the ac or to the fact tht it was never ON!! well, as long as im sleepin i dnt have much o a problem..so dozed off.......hoped for them to stop for food(mayb they did.....oki, hoped for them to TELL me wen they stoppd for food..)..wen they didnt, had my pak o biscuits..filling if u ask me, but dad would ve been furious had he seen me thr eatin THT!!hahaha..........NOT funny!
went up to my sleeper bed.........someones 'namkeen' was all over the place........bloody gujjus!!argh!!!gross....opened the window a bit..went off to sleep...woke a lil later........arnd 11:30pm....askd the assistant-like guy wen Bombay would come..he said 7am....i was glad.....i slept peacefully....thr will b enuf time to get home n give a surprise to dad n mum who would b sipping tea together, unaware o the lurkin daughter....heehee...*wiked grin*.....zzzzzzzzz..................

sngpfmfgpf.....woke up at 7:30am.........saw gujarathi writtn all over the place(outside o the window o course..), wondered for a while....ah mayb were not in Bombay yet, but even in Maharashtra,thr's plenty gujarathis....oki, we'll wait........zzzzzzzzzzzzz.....................

11am........the bus guy tells the Pune travellers to get into anthr bus..OBV i didtn get onto tht.....came down...sat comfortably into the seat....waited for the bus to take me to Nerul(my suburb).....well....asked the guy again....apparently he was born to perturb me.......he says i shudve got onto the Pune bus coz this one here has a different route........so i gotta get down at Dharavi or Dadar(oki, i had NOT wanted to travel by local train this time!!!) n get home from there.....FINE! got down at Dadar n took the local home.......got home.....FINALLY.....at 3:30pm.........ya mum was surprised n all....didnt matter by now...i was bak at home.......BUT my enthu hadnt dwindled abt surprising dad....i threw him off his suspicions tht i was probably cmin home...made him belive tht i was actually wrking in the studio on my color wheel alone.......while i was actually in my room playing with my sis........heehee.....he was pleasantly surprised wen he came........'well', i said 'i threw him off at least didnt i?'..mission accomplished!!!!
