My first day in mumbai-14th jan 2008


I and jeremy left goa on the 13th and arrived at thane in the early morning at about 6a.m. As we had to reach marol in andheri(e) we caught a train to kurla and then a bus to marol naka.As it was early morning we had no problem during transport.

Deloitte had allocated to us the company accomodation in Ashoke delux apartments for 2weeks duration by which time we had to find other place to stay.In the guest house we were sharing the flat with another new joinee-Abhinav.He was a lateral joinee with 3 years experience @ cognizant.

We were not supposed to join on that day ,but we still decieded to go to hiranandani i.e in powai to check out the company.We went with abhinav to the comapany.We went by auto and Abhinav showed us a shortcut to take so that the next time the auto guys dont cheat us.Thanks abhinav.



Hiranandani is a posh place with huge buildings,mostly for business purposes.After that we decieded to return back.the bus stop is a bit far.so we walked bach and had to wait for a long time to catch a bus which was going to andheri station.What we did not know that the bus passed through marol naka too.So when we reached marol we got down and went to the guest house.We rested in the afternoon.

Then we deciede to go to Bandra where sylvan and Abhishek stayed.So we met them on our first day in mumbai itself.There we had tea and had something to eat.We returned a bit late in the evening and had a well deserved sleep.It was a long day.I kind of was shocked by so much humanity and continous activity around that keeps your mind was continously alert avoiding traffic etc.

And so ended our first day in mumbai.
