Well , i know i havta tell u the rockin time i had in the Loviest place called - MUMBAI !! I been thr from dec 26- 31st '05 ..The main purpose of the visit was TO FREAK OUTT !! n i did exactly that ...Did i tell u , i was SUPPOSED to represent my College in the MOOD- INDIGO ( iit-b Cultural Festival ) ...Now , now lemme tell u .. No sane person wud hav gone to mumbai n wasted his precious time participatin in some insipid Festival .. N i thght the same too .. so i said to hell wid IIT .. i , of course Attended only the Rock show in the fest .. Indain ocean were good for an Indian band ..
Ok , enough of IIT .. Now the real thng starts .. MUMBAI - the vivacious City that never sleeps ....its full of lights ...The city is a spectacle to be viewed in the ni8 .. The SKYSCRAPERS keep growin up n up n up ...any normal apartment wud be 9-10 floors ( well , mumbai being an island , cant grow anywhere excpet vertically :| ) ... It is the NY of India....The beaches r the loveliest part of MUMBAI ..( though not the cleanest ) ..Everywhere u go to, u find a beach .. The ppl in mumbai r very very friendly ...I had to converse wid most of them in hindi , n it was completely cool ...
The GALS in MUMBAI completely rokkk .. Gals , gals n more gals .. is what mumbai is all bout ..i realized EACH SECOND GAL IN MUMBAI is a HOT GAL ..That leaves 50% of women in mumbai to the HOT category .. thats too much for any city , n so mumbai is quite up thr .. ( hyd stands at 50%, too) :-d ..
In a convo wid some stranger in a beach , i told him " Hyderabad is nothng mate , i wanna stay in Mumbai " , n that fellow was like grinning n said" Mumbai is nothn mate , i wanna stay in GOA " .. Well , My goa trip shud be on the cards in near future for sure, but for he moment its all MUMBAIYAAAAA!!!!
I hav like a Zillion frnds in Mumbai , n added to that almost the whole of my Frnd community from HYDERABAD was in MUMBAI too ( each one had their reasons , though ) ..Each of the days i spent thr , i was out wid Diff Bunches of my frnds ..
The FIRST DAY , i went on a Local tour of Mumbai , to basically get acquainted to mumbai n to the places to visit to .. I went to almost all the tourist spots n saw the mansions of most movie stars , not that i care , but its a thng too ri8 ...SRK , Salman khan n his bros, Rekha , Big B , Chothha B , John abraham , Fardeen khan , sanjay dutt , Preity zingta , Aish , Akshay khanna .. phew !! me seen all their houses ... towards the end of the day went in to TENDULKAR'S ( sachin's restuarant ) , to jus come out dissapointed , bcos it was full of SEA food :(( .. SO i went over to the most happening pub/disco in mumbai - FIRE n ICE , PAREL .., later i decided each ni8 i will go to one gr8 pub/disco...The ni8 life here roxxx...
Second day , went over to COLABA , Boarded a Cruise to ELEPHANTA CAVES ( on an island , takes 2 hours to travel on the whole ) .. Did trekking over thr ..well the place aint sumthng gr8 , but u surely will hav fun thr ...went alon wid a frnd .. later part of the day was spent shoppin in FASHION STREET n colaba !! .. spent a fortune on bands n funk stuff .. the place mumbai from the outside is very costly , but the key is BARGAIN !! at a store , i was told the rate of an Armani was 1500 rs , i asked him Straight , wanna SELL IT FOR 150 rs or not .. n lo !! i hav it now !! :-d ... Finally went to LEOPOLD in colaba..a gr8 bar / cafe ri8 from the days of the book SHANTHARAM .. it was like my guide book there btw ..
Third day , i did some Wholesome Shoppin again in Colaba .. spent a whole lotsa time ..Then went to the 3 gr8 places in mumbai - COLABA , NARIMAN POINT- MARINE DRIVE , MALABAR HILLS ... What lovely places r these 3 ..marine drive is this bigg stretch of road beside the sea ..( ala TANK BUND ) .. this is seen in most movies .( rem those Star shaped cement rocks on which munnabhai sits in the movie ) ..Some gr8 5 -star hotels r on this marine drive ..Also saw the stadiums of BARBOUNE n WANKHADE n also SHIVAJI PARK ..Then Nariman point is the this really costly Commercial area , which has most of the big offices of mumbai n govt. buildings ..Went to this Theatre called INOX n saw a crazy movie for 180 rs :(( .. Later had my lunch at MOCHAS.. A very famous cafe grp in mumbai ...Also covered the areas of MAHALAXMI, HAJI ALI , WORLI , PAREL ... I also covered the big hospitals of mumbai like BREACH CANDY, LEELAVATHI, NANAVATHI ... In the evening i left for IIT-B in POWAI ,, saw the rock show .. n then ended up by goin to VELVET LOUNGE,Renaissance Hotel ,POWAI ..Damn costly place ..Thankfully , it was my frnds own place :-d... SO that was the day , in which i had the most fun ...
fourth day , met an old frnd of mine , shes from hyderabad , we haven't met here in a lon time ( though we stay like 15 mins away from each ones houses) , n we meet for the first time after ages in MUMBAI .. isnt that creepy ..Snigdha is the girl ..We had gr8 fun .. wen to BANDRA that day , the beach in BANDRA , BANDSTAND , etc .. also saw the place where dhoom racin scenes were shot ..the same day also covered the areas of DADAR, ANDHERI, VILE PARLE , SANTA CRUZ ...
