OF BOOKSTORES AND MUMBAI RICKS

Has been a long-sullen-dull weekend ...especially with bucketful of rains pouring down heavily ...damn i hate this weather.With nothing much to do in life i decided to go for a stroll at hiranandani gardens with the intention of checking out some books at crossword .. with none other than my cibophobic friend.Man how i wished to own them all ... if only i had the time and resources (yeah yeah i know i sound like a looser .. but then those books were costly)

Browsing thru the racks i saw some extreeeemely maggu looking junta all engrossed in reading weird and unpalatable stuff ! All set to invade their privacy the bogue investigateur within came alive and i started snooping around .. and got some really nasty get-lost-or-ill shoot-you looks! Well the book i was looking for was out of stock ... (it usually happens ..and the staff has come to believe that i go there just to kill some time asking for out of stock books)

With my friend half dead ..we decided to take a rick ..and man what a ride we had!Firstly these ppl in mumbai turn a bloody deaf ear if u address them as ""bhaiya""..even if you hold them with both your hands and look into their eyes they would refuse to acknowledge the fact that you are trying to tell him something ... you call them ""boss""and pat comes the response...so the next time a mumbaikar happens to be standing(read stamping) on your foot or you have to make way to get down at a local station DO NOT call him bhaiya! Well talking of autowallas .. invariably all autos that i have traveled in mumbai have been fitted with the state of the fart ..er... i mean state of the art moojic shishtem Its thru them that himesh reshammiya earns his bread and butter ! From the agonizing oooooooo hoooozoor tera suroooooor to aa aa ashiqui me teri ...he played them all .. killing two two dogs who happen to pass by and causing my friend severe epliptic convulsions.

These guys have this inborn killer instincts ..they just cant see a pedestrian walk peacefully on the road they'll swerve their vehicles to scare the poor chap to death ..follow no rules and fall just short of MiG pilots(now u know the reason why they crash this often !) What an eventful ride that was .. i coud not hear anything except a faint hissing sound fifteen minutes after getting down .. (the hi fi system had a problem with its treble knob :( .. ) And psst ...i have a secret to share i still have'nt completely understood the way mumbai auto meters are read ! ( i know thats kinda dumb given the fact the dumbest of my friends ..who has to look for the zipper to figure out if he has worn his pants the right way, has perfected the art of meter reading!) Mebbe some day ill learn ! Till then happily njoying amchi mumbai :)
