Bandra-Worli Sea Link

Because i do not have a photoblog, and don’t wish to have one, i share with you, my friendly blog readers, the photos here.. as you must have already observed..! :)

So this is about the much awaited ride on the Rajiv Gandhi Sea Link that connects the two of the busiest places of the city.. Bandra and Worli… and does so extending along the Mahim Creek.

The photos are not at par with the expectations because- one: They are taken from a car… in motion.. two: Winds blew brutally so i was scared camera slipping off my hand.. three: it was RAINING!!

Googling can give you much better views and pics, i admit ! But these have come out of my camera, so i have an inherent right of sharing them… :)

The Welcome board at the Bandra-End of the Link.. There are controversies on with the name given… .. .. who cares !! :P

 

not to forget mentioning- this was the 25th of july.. designated to be ‘the day with second largest high tide..’

Takes you away, although for five min and 6km, from the chaotic city… A ride, worthwhile…

 

 

There lies the Mahim, Dadar, Bandra… the Mahim creek along which this is constructed…

 

it was that dark …. but a pleasant weather !!

The Mahim Creek…

 

The toll plaza, that’s at the Bandra-end of the link… We were crazy enough to buy a return ticket. :P hehe.. we started from Worli to Bandra… n then back from Bandra to Worli

pic taken from inside the car…

TAJ Lands End, Bandra… This too at the bandra-end of the link.

…..

again. taken from the car..

You just cant stop wondering about the Engineering… !

The another 4 lanes of the link are still under construction…

 

Goodnight/day!!!

A Relief from Reality called ‘Lectures’

114861696BHptXi_fs

Some days of our lives are worth a rubric, not only coz they are out-of-the-ordinary in the way they are consumed but also coz of their circumstantial occurrence.

Today was the second Monday since reopening of my college… and lectures aren’t on in full roll yet…2weeks, and just 2lectures… ! Today ie-Monday, after the 9-11 lecture of FEM, (Finite Element Method, or something close to that :P ) ( Fyi- 9-11 denotes the duration of lecture) making ourselves oblivious to lectures further, we all decided to go out and have fun. Not to forget, it was also the birthday of my friend, not permitted to put name.. : )

It all started with a treat at Naturals’ (just next to the college) ofcourse from the birthday girl…(A Must Mention- try out CoffeeWalnut at NATURALS :) !!!) Thereafter, advancing to Dadar station by hiring a taxi… boarding on a local, we “customarily” went to the Marine Drive…... it was raining extremely heavily, plus there were these tides mounting high enough to soar beyond us! 40-45 mins at marine drive…….. a walk along the shore......... clothes outright saturated by water from tides and rains… it was a perfect afternoon spent… although it hardly seemed an afternoon …. Thanks to the overcast skies and breakneck winds…. And the ‘nowadays-sleepy’ sun of Mumbai… :D

Going to South Mumbai and eating in McDonald’s is a ritual followed by me till date… hehe.. Consequently, keeping with the tradition, we all went to Colaba McDonald’s after some window shopping at the Causeway : )

What I regret is, yet again, I didn’t have the digicam with me as we fled directly from college to Charni Road.. (therefore, this post is pics-less) (I’ll get them soon from a friend of mine who had this cell with a respectable camera :P ) But, what makes this escapism to be more satisfying is the fact that we absconded from having to attend the lectures which, I still don’t know, were conducted or not… : )

Its 5pm as I write this… but will be posting at night… as I have now opted for a night-unlimited plan : ) (which is a mistake I guess, now)

PS- The pic above … Courtesy-Internet… ….Those taken by us, will be put up later…

Goodnight/day!!!

Of friendships and relationships.........

They welcomed me on the Earth today when finally I gained some perspective of what-FB-actually-is … Funny, innit? : P : P ….. hehe…Whatever : )…….
This thing, dunno what to call it, is kinda making my brain face some major turbulent-thinking-disorder wherein it tends to think in a dire complicated manner and in the end fails to perform effectively in stretching to the conclusion. Its about Friendships and relationships… and their inter-conversion and de-conversion … :P
I’ll elaborate on this when I myself get some concrete standpoint : ) for now, I’d say friendship is the purest of all relationships! and never lose a friend out of senseless tagging-of-relationship business.
Goodnight/day!
