Borivili to Lower Parel Part-I

After a damaging review from a few of my friends, I decided that I will continue blogging and improve my blogging "skills" by wrting more. Hope there are more ppl to view this blogs na pass their nasty comments.

This blog is a view of Mumbai from the crowded trains and the rare window view. My train journeys from Borivili to Lower Parel to office has inspired me to write this blog.

I was thinking for a long time to write this blog.Before I arrived in Mumbai many ppl warned me of the trains here. Having travelled in trains for 3 long years to college, I thot that it was not going to be difficult. But i was to be proved wrong.

First the crowds. Man!!!! how does a single city support such a huge population. ooph!!!!

The population is very attractive. ;) .Special mention should be made about the girls here. I have found (as I always do) that these girls here have a great attitude. They care a damn of what others think. They just do what they want to. You see them walking on the platform very silently at one instant. When it comes to boarding a train, ooooooh, NO COMMENTS!!! No words to describe that. They just push and pull and finnaly get into the train.

The next intresting thing here is the VADA PAV. I dont understand the fascination the city has for PAV. They have Vada pav,Bajji pav,Samosa pav, omlette pav. Soon there will be dosa pav also I think. Wherever u go, u get vada pav. And that too all the southies out there. VADA is not the VADAi u are thinking. They call the Potato bonda VADA here. crazy ppl.


The othe thing I noticed was the newspaper. U cannot find a single decent paper here. Being an ardent reader of THE HINDU I find the papers here really sick. No words to describe the feeling. There is no news worth reading. Thinking of reading the HINDU online these days.

There is a lot to write. After all the city is very big. More to come.
