5 days in Bombay! #part 1

I reached here on Thursday morning, after a tiring 22 hour journey in a train. Travelling to Bombay from Delhi in a train was not obviously a good idea, and I had intially planned for a flight but due to some really crazy incidents I ended up in this train.
My first day here.
Thursday.
Well, 1st thing I don't like the weather here.
Its too hot and humid.
And there is way too much traffic and too many people.
I spend the first half of the day at home sleeping and getting rid of the sick feeling that I had gained as a result of my irksome journey.
So, I decide to watch Satyagraha and spend the day at the mall because it is too hot to be outside.
And my decision turns out to be a bad one.
Satygraha disappoints.
The film tries to say so much but ends up saying too little.
But needless to say Amitabh Bachchan is awesome.
His screen presence makes you sit in the theatre and wait that something better might come up, but nothing actually happens.
Then after the movie, as I move out of the theatre, me being the 'Forever tripping Queen', suddenly slip over the floor and almost fall down but my friend somehow manages to rescue me. Yes, everyone around me is amused and laughing so out of embarrassment and nervousness I decide to do the same.
I laugh at myself and realise that whenever you fall in a public place the best way to cope up with all the sing and dance is to laugh at yourself. 
After the movie and a li'l bit of window shopping at the mall I go to a place called 'Pop Tates'. The place is good, I like the ambience and the music. The food is average.
But yeah it is a nice pleasant change from the regular hangout places in Delhi.
Here in Bombay, there is less stiffness in the atmosphere and one thing that I totally love about the city is no one gives a fuck about what you are doing.
In Delhi, the atmosphere is a little taut. Always.
At the end of the day, I am happy high and loving my new phone.
Having a Samsung galaxy grandZ is definitely a much needed change from my blackberry which I had been using since past 3 years.
