Yeah its 4:20 and I am stuck here in the train.. huh ?.. arey Mumbai rains remember? … (in half an hour everything gets flooded) … left office at 2:55 to be precise .. yes Saturday afternoon – half day at office and I had lots of plans… I thought I’ll reach home by 4.. then eat and go out with friends.. may b a 6 o’clock show (I hate love stories – yeah although the reviews say that the movie sucks .. I’d still go.. cz the promos look nice) … OR may be I would get a comp for my client who is after me to get him a system…and I always turn him down cz I am busy working…. Today was a nice day to oblige him… Or if nothing else … I would take a nice nap till 7 and then watch the match …Argentina VS Germany!!!! but you see I am stuck here in the train, hoping to reach home in the first place..(leave aside enjoying the half day!!)
Some passengers traveling along with me in my compartment have already hopped out of the train and started walking along the tracks…seems like they’ll reach before me!! … but every time I think about following their footsteps this stupid train moves a little and then halts again crushing all my hopes!
I am bored!!!
I tried calling a few of my friends for time pass! But most of them are already happily sitting at home, have finished with their lunch and power nap and are enjoying sipping their tea at the moment!! … my ass was burning with jealousy so I disconnected the call :P called a few others who are stuck in the rains somewhere like me and felt better… on the other hand there are these bunch of people who are massaging – where have you reached? Had your lunch?? .. you know there is a high tide at 5….Sion station is totally flooded ! its on the news! … I went out for lunch you know :) ? .. do call me when you reach home!! - this does not make me feel any better .. infact it teases me more!!
Ufff!! Poor me! I had just 8 Parle G biscuits and a cup of milk for breakfast… :( I really hate the government for this! .. WTF! How can they let the trains and the commuters go for a toss like this every year??? Isn’t there a solution?? My pork is waiting for me at home and I am here sitting like a fool in this train totally hungry having no clue when this fucking train is going to move!
Speaking about the government… why the fuck is it declared Mumbai band on Monday?? Why are the taxi and auto drivers allowed to go on strike anytime out of the blue> taking the public for a long indefinite ride??? And if they go on strike why are their terms and conditions always accepted without strict action taken against them?? (which actually gives them the confidence to go on strike whenever they like without any fear) why does the common man have to suffer all the time because of the loose administration of our leaders? … every year there is a taxi, auto or BEST strike… every year there are floods in the monsoons (specially in the areas where the BMC boasts to have done a good job to take care of water logging and floods). ….
Its 4:44 and I have just moved 1 station ahead! …..
I cant write anymore… will plug in the earphones in my ears and listen to waka waka and dream about Shakira shaking everything she has .. :):)
PS:- I reached home at 6:15 (i.e: more than 3 hrs to reach marine lines from hiranandani ... i normally cover that distance in not more than 1 hr 15 mins)
Bandh on Monday cuz BJP feels prices r hitting the roof! so SS n MNS support dem n lo n behold v hav a bandh on our hands! As far as i feel, the prices wud've been much higher had the BJP been in power... n in case the aam aadmi didnt kno n if they were being swayed by the BJP, the prices of so many things are already subsidised by the govt, which in turn pays for it, how much longer can it go on paying itself?
ReplyDeleteN abt the train halting! Central Railway sucks! MISERABLY! WR was pitch perfect on time yesterday! Central was really stuck up! as usual! Parel, Sion pretty low lying areas, ders not much even the govt can do abt it!
