tHe mUmBai XP - drive | exibition | timepass !!

so .. this is part 1.. my 1st day in mumbai is over.. and it wasnt anythin unusual.. or excitin !!... first and foremost... my appo with the doc got cancelled.. as he is out of station.. and it will happen tommorow... so the wait it still on...

anyways.. coming back to the story.. Mumbai... the city of dreams... glamour... money.. riches.. !!... and also.. the city of people aspiring to achieve their dreams.. the hard workers...... the poor... and the ones who make the rich and famous.. more rich and more famous...

As its definately there in any place on earth... but mumbai just smells ( good or bad is upto you to decide) of money, and the desire for it..... everywhere... and dnt get me wrong.. i am not saying its bad or good.. fr me its 90% good.. as with money comes a lot of things.. the motivation to do new things.. to work hard.. to accomplish dreams.. etc etc.. but i love the pace of the city... i kno.. ppl crib abt it.. and will tell me tht boss.. u have nt stayed on in mumbai fr more than a week,... so dnt put heroic comments on ur so called blog. !.. but wait... thts again my perception.. which may or may not change... but i love the fact tht there are so many things tht people want to do.. and ther is less time !!.. i mean .. the demand supply situation of time and work is reverse !!.. back home.. people have more time and no work.. here.. (as it should be), there is no time and more work... i think thts y people strive hard and achieve.. and its a chain reaction.. and it attracts more people to come to this place..

anyways... as i said.. i had nthin to do the whole day... so got the news that CHEMSPEC 2007 - an exibition on Specialities Chemicals is happenin in Goregaon... so decided to visit that.. and mom went to masis house in boriwali... well... again.. the 'becoming spoilt' phase has started.. as i said.. so sat in the accord.. and got dropped at goregaon...

on the way.. i was glued to my ipod... the cchhooo chwweeeet thing... and almost switched over all my songs once.. hehe.... anyways.. and there was also a lot of videos which i took ( will compile them and upload on youtube), ...and reached the exibition.

It was the usual fair with stalls.. and a lot of greeek written in all of them ( as i understand nthin but my own business of chemicals.. thts it), and there ws little scope fr us in the fair.. it ws there if we were lookin fr new suppliers.. but tht is nt my competence rite now.. so i jus strolled in the fair fr 2 hrs.. and observed hw people interact.. hw they sell..hw they purchase... hw the whole mechanism wrks !.. its competitive fr sure.. man 90% of chem traders are gujjus !!... nice nice...



after roaming in chemspec with ketul and uncle (cousins), boarded the car and again a loooooong drive to borivali... again ms ipod ws kissin the ears (cchhooo chweeet she is :) )... and after a brief stay in borivali.. back to walkeshwar.. after a 2.5 hr drive..

One thing in mumbai which i hav noticed in my 5 - 6 visits.. is half the time is spent travelling in this city as its huge !!.. and long.............. .. but i dnt complain.. luv looong drives anyways.... (jus tht i am not allowed to drive here :(

anyways.. tht was a boaring day... and a boaring start to the mumbai xp.. ( i wanted it better).. so hope to give u guys some good news tommorow.. after meetin the doc.. and hav decided to meet a lot of long lost frens here.. so watch out fr some fun stuff :)

leaving you guys with a hazy pic of a part of the diamond necklace... marine drive!!..




cheers
