Finally reached Bandra Reclamation, i took few picture of moon and scenic beauties nearby and they suddenly thought of going to Carter road which dint come in my mind as I never heard of that place.
Spent almost 2 hrs at Carter Road and enjoyed the peaceful space.

It's second when I was in Hawaiin shack and this pub ROCKS man... ''literally''. People will keep rocking you whole time as on weekend you would sometimes find an inche to move... and if you got the breathing issue don't ever visit this place.
It's a small pub... I said to my frnd when I first entered Hawaiin but then he told me there are 2 more floors and beleive me the crowd come here will make you crazy. Both the time visited this places I was literally missing ''a group''. We were first time 2 ppl and second time 3 but still we enjoyed to the core.
After a rocking saturday night, it's Sunday evening now and I am loving this Sunday. Sitting in ''Georgia Jean's Coffee'' and writing this blog and waiting for one of my friend ''Bharat''. He just called and will be here in any time, So will keep posted here.
After this... Planning Mahesh Seafoods... Let's see if things workout as planned.
The real 'IST' : Indian Standard Time or say, Indian strechable time can be literally seen in Mumbai. People may be running out of time but I feel they dnt value time... they run behind the time not because they value it but since they don't have any other choice. I always felt victim of these casual attitude towards time from the very first day I arrived in Mumbai. And I kinda hate it.
Also people don't give a damn about the words that they have given to others, they will give some time and all of a sudden run away from the reach over phone, sms or watever ways availble to get in touch.
There was a time when I used to feel time crunch in Mumbai.. So many people and so little time to see... But one after another I came to know... Only I am interested to see people..!
Learning quite a lot here for my life.
And this is one reason why I stuck up in this place today with nobody around.
I am right now in Juhu Chowpaty at Juhu beach, and beleive me it's one of the most crowded place I have ever experinced in Mumbai after Mumbai local... Yuck... But at the same time food here is really tasty... and mind it... Not very costly even.
If you come here you will see lots of stalls pushcart types and many variety of foods... most common are Paav Bhaaji, bhelpuri, South Indian, Ice Creams, Chana masala and Barf Gola (kind of ice cream). I tried Chana masala, then Kaccha aam with namak, then Barf Gola (kala khatta flavour), and I loved everything that I ate.
Yummmyyyy...
Now I am sitting on the sand, writing blog and waiting to go back. I have target to reach home by 12 mid nite. After all it's Mumbai Time !!!
:)
Saturday started late as I got up late. Spoke to Ujjwal and aksed him to see 10o'clock in the morning and guess what time he showed up... 3 pm @ Oberoi Mall Goregaon East, the nearest mall from my companies guest house. I was seeing Ujjwal after 6 yrs
We spent some time in the mall and then came back to my room... Chit chat for sometime and then planned to go to ''Gateway of India''... And it was planned with no plans. Taxi Fare - Rs. 300
After GWOI we rode to Fashion Street on a Taxi and then a bade goodbye to him.
While coming back I met Tutul and had coffee with her @ CCD Santacruz and I was seeing her after 7 Yrs... Actually I dnt remember when I 'met' her last time.
When I reached home it was almost mid-night and called it a day.
Next Morning as planned I got up at 5 Am to start for Siddhi Vinayaka at 6... and I managed to leave my room by 6.15 am. I called ujjwal as we both have planned this morning temple visit but he didn't pick up. I reached Goregaon station and bought Dadar return ticket and took my train.
When I saw out train was at Parel at means my station is already crossed. I got down at Parel and jumped track to catch the train stanting on other track for Borivilli and got down at Dadar correctly this time. Took a taxi to siddhi vinayak temple, to my surprise it was very small compared to what I assumes but higly powerfull. After siddhi vinayak I zoomed towards Mahalakshmi temple which was not at all planned. Then to Hajji Ali dargah and then to Mumba Devi temple on Bus... This was my first bus travel in this Mumbai visit.
After Mumba Devi temple I took a bus to Dadar station and took the train back to Goregaon.
All these while I just took few grams of prashadam... And I reahced back my room by 12 noon I suppose.
Evening we (I and my 4 collegeues) went to drink and dine.
Time flew by... First weekend in Mumbai was over by then.
I was in the ''Negotiation'' training - 2nd day and I was pulled out in the middle of the training to say ''I think your Jagjit.... You have to be in Mumbai today... It's an SOS call from Murali''
I never wanted to miss this training so attended the traning, completed it and left to start for Mumbai by 1:30 Pm.
Ayodhya Verdit is one thing that was a big tension issue on 30 Sep... and it was giving all unwanted feelings. Somehow managed to reach airport on time.
Reached Mumbai on the same day at 8 pm... Chetan came to receive me. He told me how to reach to the guest house ''Cupid Bunglow'' yeh and that's the name of the guest house I am staying at present.
So, now I was in Mumbai after more than 5 years and I was feeling really different. I have 2 to 3 weeks here and have to see many people...
Today is my 2nd day in Mumbai and looking forward for a good weekend.
