Rang De Basanti et al.

A trip to the city that never sleeps in India (Bombay) aka Mumbai is never without events. Left Pune on Sunday around 12 hoping to reach Kandivili by 6 p.m. We reached Powaii around 4 and like the enthusiastic rabbit decided to take a break and headed towards the Mocha in Hiranandani to restore our tissues after the drive down the express way. Was pleasantly surprised at my own navigational skills and sense of direction.

After suitable refreshments and procuring a copy of the latest Aamir Khan movie (Rang De Basanti) decided to leave Hiranandani at 5 hoping to reach Kandivili by 6. We ended up there at 7:30 p.m. a distance of nearly 25 km in 2-1/2 hours while we had done nearly twice that in the same time. As I have blogged earlier every trip reinforces a belief in me . Never visit Bombay, if you have to exit at the earliest . Never stay in Bombay too... Too much traffic, too many people. Yuck... It left me with a bad sinus and a bad stomach. Ended up sleeping through monday with that only to get in late into office.
