Hi pal

Thanx for reminding of my trip to Mumbai especially Navi Mumbai since my parents live there and I had been there for my summer holidays..

I cannot forget the trip from Pune to Mumbai with lots of tunnels and an altogether different landscape like that resembling "Grand Canyon".

Such yummy vada pav, Ragdaa, and nice mango kulfis..

I really enjoyed Navi Mumbai of the roads, the peaceful and life and beautiful salwar suits and materials...

Looks Mumbai express is speeding..

Cheers
Lakshmi

Cricket scores over Exams!!
2nd March 2008 there were two cricket final matches being held and we won both the matches. As a true, Indian I was overwhelmed with joy and clapped and danced merrily. How did is score over HSC Exams? Yes, it did and where.. not very far.. here in Navi Mumbai. As we all know, Maharashtra is undergoing major power crisis thanks to the politicians[IMG]file:///C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/msoclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]. Navi Mumbai realms under power cut in two sessions morning and evening. Repeated appeal from the citizens requesting Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution board to keep the power cut at bay during exams (at least[IMG]file:///C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/msoclip1/01/clip_image002.gif[/IMG]) fell in deaf ears. There were sessions of Jaspal Bhatti Meetings [IMG]file:///C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/msoclip1/01/clip_image003.gif[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/msoclip1/01/clip_image003.gif[/IMG]on the matter. Media and Press also joined with the junta (public). Finally, everyone gave up hope.


What a surprise!!! on 2nd March 2008 there was no power cut in Navi Mumbai.. why?? Cricket finals and that too not one but two.. Wow!!! The bureaucrats had to switch on their TV sets and stay put having chai and vada pav – result - city enjoyed full power Supply. Few optimists did think that from now onwards till the exams get over there may be no power cuts.. [IMG]file:///C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/msoclip1/01/clip_image004.gif[/IMG]. The dawn of next day drew the curtain from their eyes. The clock struck and the power failed. Yes, my friends today we are all engulfed in the usual power cut circle. Who cares for exams and children? Mera Bharat Mahaan (My India is great).When we want we will give you and when we haven’t it will never reach you – slogan of the politicians. Angrez gaye politicians chod gaye (Britishers left India, but left back politicians too).

Cricket Scored Over Exams!!!

WRONG TIME- TABLE GIVE BY THE SCHOOL COST THE YEAR FOR FEW SSC (REPEATER) STUDENTS.
11 Students came to the school on 13^th March 2008 to Seth Juggilal Poddar High School, Bhiwandi Naka, Mumbai with full hope that they would clear their exams this year. When they reached the school, the authorities told them the exam for the subject English got over on 11^th March, 2008. These students followed the time-table put up in Padmashree Annasaheb Jadhav High School, but the school had not mentioned that the time-table was for freshers and not for repeaters. The school insisted that the time-table for repeaters was put up in a separate borad inside the school campus and it was not found when the media reached there. What will be the fate of these students? They are already worried as they are aware there will series of proofs to be collected, some big politicians help will be required and the list goes endless.
Let us pray for them. Ek Cutting Chai laa re (In our city, there is chai called cutting, it is just few sips. He he. It is very popular in local dhabas), Available in our train too keeping in view of its popularity.

Khatee – Mitee Khabar…

INSTALLING SECURITY DEVICE DOES NOT MAKE YOUR HOME SAFE!?!


Rs. 2.5 lakhs worth property was robbed from a house located in second floor of Sector 10A Vashi when owners had gone to Nasik. The house had a security system installed at the door and according to the system – anyone who forcibly tries to open the lock – it would raise an alarm. The watchman heard the alarm but could not offer any help as he is was assaulted, tied with a rope and gagged in his mouth by seven people at around 3.15 a.m. Then they quickly marched towards the door. Neighbours did not hear the alarm as they were all sleeping with their A.C. On. How can we hear any noise from outside – they placed their cards on the table. Watchman informed the police they left the flat at 5.30 a.m. Police have detained the watchman.

Yeh tho Mirch Bhajji ke saath Cutting Ho gayi bhai!! Hum tho soch rahe the ki security alarm rakne se hamara ghar khatre se bahar rahega..
Yeh Hain Aapka apna Mumbai / Navi Mumbai Express…
