summers.....

yesterday i had to visit a manufactures aarti drugs in Sion.......started here at 3:00 as i had an appointment at 4:30.......was asked to take the cental line train to sion.......but i took a harbour line train to Guru tebh bahadur nagar station.......the journey was an eye opener....i was contemplating on an idea to write a post about the materialistic mumbaikars.......as i said earlier the trip was an eye opener as i realised that there are people in this world because of whom the north west and south east monsoon still do their bit.........I got down at the GTB station came out and asked a newspaper guy aboutthe address....he jus asked me to walk straight for 5 minutes and u will reach the place........so i started....but somebody was clling me "excuse me, what was that address u were asking for" ...I turned back to see an old sardar.......he asked me again "what was that address u were asking for?"..... i repeated it for the third time after all i could manage was a puzzled look.....then i gave him the chit which contained the address....then he started to give me the directions to my destination......i felt good......with the good feeling in my heart i walked.....i walked for more than 10 minutes and still did not reach aarti drugs.....so i stopped to ask a pedestrian......he said "hey im going down there hop in i will drop u there"....he turned out to be a taxi driver.......I got down in front of the gate with a huge smile on my face bcos of my meeting with two holy souls.....

met the marketing manager there...interviewed him for 20 minutes had a glass of cold water......then left to Sion station to take a train back to the office......this time i took a central line train(slow one)........

came back to the hostel at 8:00....fought wit ha class mate for nothing......didnot have dinner....played football for 10 minutes and had to stop because the others were already out of energy.....came back to the room apologized to the batchmate ......watched Freaky Friday......decent movie....
