One night @ South bombay

Its 3 in the morning and i am sitting right outside Pizza hut with Rahul, sipping tea, sharing some of our innate secrets. Out of the blue i say 'Lets go to Marina Drive' and the next moment we are in search of a petrol pump.

At 100 kmph, with droplets of water in our eyes, a small mistake may mean a lot. But that's what the whole excitment is all about, isn't it !! At fifteen minutes past 4 we are at the Gate way of India, hiding silently in the darkness of night, overshadowed by the glitter of Taj. The next few hours were spent wandering aimlessly covering marine drive, chaupati, haji ali, worly seeface ... By the time i was back to hostel it was around noon and we had already travelled more than a hundred kms ...
These are the times when you feel a sense of freedom, independence .. i cherish such moments of my life.

Mumbai marathon - The sprit of mumbai

Had heard a lot about the spirit of mumbaikars ... Marathon 2007 reflected it in a true sense.
'Dream run' as they call it, is just 6Km as many would say. But for me 6Kms was a tough target. Thanks to the cheering that i finally managed to complete it, though i did feel awkward seeing uncles and auties run 21 kms.

hukka@mocha

Well to start with let me praise mocha a bit, i am tuely a fan of it .. The ambience, the cuisines, shakes, desserts and not to forget the hukka are simply awesome. So it was the obvious place for my job treat. The only hurdle being that i wasn't sure if there was one in hyderabad. But with bit of googling i found out that there is indeed one in banajara hills around 25 kms from where i stay.
With 3 of my closest friends with me it was bound to be among the most momorable of the treats. We spend around 2-3 hours smoking hukka .. (its tobacco free!!) ... you do feel a bit dizziness but that's due to the smoke. Seeing abhijath struggle with the hukka was more fun than hukka itself. All in all great fun, just that i would have liked a few more of my friends to have joined, but may be some other time.
