I left the city more than two years back and miss it every single day! Relived all my good times and crazy ones (got on to a Virar Fast when I had to get off at Andheri… CRIMINAL!) through this post. I will keep coming back to your blog!

@ tgfi: Haha! But this really was serious. No kidding, take a ride on the Mumbai rail sometime and you’ll concede.

@ Raj: It sure is! All the very best on your maiden voyage, though, and I hope the experience is…umm…interesting!

@ GDS: Welcome to the Idea-smithy then!And yes, I guess once you learn to cope with the grind, you can pick up the pace pretty quickly here.

@ Isk: I ought to have included that!

Do not get into a “Virar” Fast Local if you want to get off at Bombay Central / Dadar / Andheri ! The regular travellers wont let you get off…
