Right now when im writing this blog im feeling so very fresh thanks to a wonderful day spent. The day started as normal getting up at 5:30 for the 8 am lecture (How mean and torturous IGTC can be towards their students). The rainstorms were coming down so heavily as if there is no tomorrow. I was a bit apprehensive about going to college but the thought of missing indirect tax woke me up. Then I scraped through my daily morning chores and made it to station in time to catch 6:42 local. Made it on time for lecture. Lecture was too gud Gabhawala rocks.

After the lecture the real fun started. 3 hours break until the next lecture. What is the best way to spend your vela time?..... No prizes for guessing you are right Marine drive. To chale hum velegiri karne. Panna ,Abha, Riddhi, DT and myself. It was damn breezy at marine drive. Over the breezy winds the rains were completely drenching us. The umbrellas were reckoned useless by the breeze. Abha and Panna were completely in a mood to enjoy the Mumbai rains. They were running wildly on marine drive with Panna singing Romantic songs and wishing 2 kiss any boy in sight (Thanks god i was not on radar lols). Somehow i managed to convince Abha nd Panna to move out of marine drive as drizzle was getting heavier by the second.

So we get out of marine drive totally wet (damn even my undergarments were wet). Now we were hungry and the first thing on our mind was MAGGI. So it was obvious that we headed towards the ISH canteen. ISH canteen is by far the cheapest food joint in Churchgate. we had our favourite MAGGI and veg crispy. Clicked some snaps and then it was journey back to IGTC for the International Finance lecture.






Only problem was we were wet and IGTC is like Antarctica (thanks to Puru who always insists to keep temp of AC at 18). To get away from AC draft i shifted to 1st bench which raised many eyebrows. I even borrowed Zarrirs raincoat to keep myself warm but was not effective. I shivered through the first half of the lecture. Finally the lecture got over and respite was in site as the plan was to bunk the next lecture. But Abha had some different ideas, she wanted to stay back. By this time i was dry again, so even i thought to stay back. Panna, Dt, Riddhi left for the day. To get fresh we 2 went 2 the top floor to have Ginger tea, given the circumstances under which i spent my last 3 hours, ginger tea was like an oasis in the middle of desert for me. Myself and Abha relished the tea with Biscuits.

So we braced up again for the boring High performance Leadership lecture. Surprise Surprise the lecture got cancelled citing rebellion by students against Rebello.( Rebellion against rebello sounds nice naa original thought copyright by Ninad lols).
I was feeling a bit feverish so it would have been recommended to go home and take rest. But no 2day i was on cloud 9. In the company of Abha where did i go, again no prizes for guessing ..........Marine Drive.

Now the marine drive was totally different as compared to that in afternoon. Many couples were enjoying in the rain. Shit again that feeling of singleness crept in. Even Abha was missing her buddy. But we decided to enjoy the rains again. Once again we got totally wet. Velegiri continues. We took a doubledecker bus to CST after enjoying marine drive. I could have stayed there at marine drive drenching in rain for longer time but i had my stupid laptop in bag so had to leave. Its amazing how the marine drive acts as a magnet and we get attracted to it like metals.

On the way back home in train final velegiri idea cropped up in my mind. The awesome Pan bahar icecream of prabhus. Abha was totally in for the plan. This plan was the perfect recipe for cold and fever but i gave a damn abt it. I savoured my icecream. Post that i dropped Abha at Mulund station and then i got home cherishing the amazing moments spent with dearest of my friends. Yummy Panbahar Icecream.

Really this day will be written in Golden letters in the pages of my life. This is the first time i spent my day without any fear of the obvious unknown, like wht if i get wet and get down with fever and all those bullshit. Its fun to live life tension free. I intend to spend many more such days with my close to heart friends Abha, DT, Riddhi, Panna and Aadi.
