Last Evening...
Yesterday was a Sunday…I got up late around 12.00 in the afternoon…..then was just doing some timepass…then had tea…after sometime had lunch…after that I went to office around 4.30pm to finish up with some work I had…..not official though….kind of personal….I had to check some mails….do some chatting and also make some calls……as I came to office on Sunday there were just 3 people who were there in the office….I just sat and did my work till 7.00pm….then I left……
I was on the way to home….I had just started from office when my bike stopped…..I checked and the petrol was over……I was very bugged with my mechanic……I had given my bike for repair the day before and maybe he had taken off all the petrol…..I was a bit pissed off….coz then I had to involve myself in unnecessary work….u can say double kaam…..then I took an rickshaw till the petrol pump…I didn’t even have enough money so…first I went to the ATM…withdrew some cash……then I finally reached the petrol pump…I didn’t have a bottle to fill petrol…..I bought a bisleri…empted the bottle and then filled petrol……I asked the same rickshaw wala to take me back from the place he has picked me up….he took a turn and entered in some lane…I had never seen that place…I thought that must be some shortcut…so I sat patiently in the rickshaw…..he had a audio deck in the rickshaw so he played some songs when I asked him to…as usual they were some Himesh Reshammiya numbers…they are quite popular these days with everyone….I was just listening to them…..then we were crossing from that lane…it was very neat place and had small bungalows…it is very unlikely in Mumbai to find bungalows….I was amused to see them in the middle of goregoan where I was….then the rickshaw entered a small narrow lane…u can say as a galli….it was a very narrow road….it had shops on both sides and people walking on these roads….the road was as narrow as only one rickshaw and one bike can fill in that road tightly…then I just was noticing things around when I was crossing from there…..both the sides were small shops….this place belonged to the poor class in the city….the shops in that place could reflect that ….u could see grocery shops….with the price tags on rice like Rs16, Rs 16.50 per kilo…then also I saw some barber shops….then u had one small printing press there…..I also saw one very tiny sari shop…..one lady sitting and buying her selection….where the shop keeper was showing her saris from a bag he had….this was all amusing to see…..I had never seen this part of the city….as it was a Sunday…maybe was a shopping day for the people….there was lot of crowd on the road….my rickshaw was going slow…so I could notice all this…then again it took a turn from that galli…there came another galli which had roads a little bigger then the ones I had crossed…but this also was part of that…but here u had slightly bigger shops…again u had a grocery shop…barber shop and also some gold silver jewelers shops….also I noticed in this place was a lot many temples where there…like I saw a ganesh temple, then a datta temple….and also a shiva temple….maybe these people are very religious….then finally the rickshaw wala took a turn and we came on to the main road….we crossed the signal and were coming closer to the place I had parked my bike….then I looked around and saw one side were huge apartments and the other side were big showrooms of furniture for middle and higher class also rich class people…..this was just on the backside of those gallis I traveled…..it was such a contrast…on one side you had a total different world and on the other side again a total different world this is what is actual Mumbai…everyone has space to live here…just differs on the class you belong to in the society….so then I finally reached back to my bike and filled petrol and left…..with all these new experiences I had learned in a short time….
