Mumbai Rains!!!

As my tweet goes "April sky...full of dark clouds pouring like never before!!! looks lik a july evening in Mumbai" :)

I do a summersault and dive into the pool of nostalgic-awesome-refreshing goosebumpy moments I have witnessed during the heavy Mumbai rains!!!

As a kid :P ;)

• first day at school and you end up wetting your new uniform in the rain on your way to school.
• Dry your umbrellas, rain coats et al in the class making the class look like a shop selling wet umbrellas and raincoats.
• Back from school and it still rains heavily outside; have a quick lunch and slip into the warm blanket...trust me its heaven and I wish I could do it often on every rainy afternoon!
• Get drenched in the first rains...first rains that are distributed over a weeks time or even more!!!
• Jump in the puddle of muddy water and sail boats in the stream that flows from the building to the gutter outside!

Ruia days

• first year and experiencing the infamous "26th July" 

Palan Mam taking lec amidst 100 calls from home, amidst mass evacuation in Ruia due to rains,  admidst the deafening noise of the pitter-patter rain drops!!! 
One hell of a day it was walking in knee deep water from Mahim to Bandra reclamation, dropping the phone in the flood water, being hit by a huge wave of flood water created by a passing car, playing cards in candle light post reaching home and then one week no college!!!

• Post second year with apna gang

1. everyone armed with an umbrella is walking and suddenly you feel some water drops kind of sprinkled on your body and its vids rotating her umbrella!!!
2. followed by someone purposely tapping the umbrella to repeat the sprinkler effect!!
3. someone will then try to invert part of the umbrella, try collecting water and since this process takes time everyone will figure out the strategy and try to run off and the collected water will be wasted in the process!!!

---the story of rain drop fights over the years!!!! it just requires a moment of silence either when we are walking or waiting for chai and then steps follow in the order 1 ->2 -> 3 and 1 again!!!

• not to forget the lohgad and visapur trek and the story of never ending and constantly diluting tea in the rains!!! 

Some awesome moments-

• Its not the first rain...but you know the kind of day when the rain is welcoming like never before: its heavily,violently raining at around 5pm; me and my cousin look out of the window call up 3-4 friends, get into a rick and land up straight to bandstand and what we experience there is by far my best getting drenched in Mumbai rains experience!!! It was surreal...!!!!
• when it rains heavily at night the deafening sound of the rain fills the atmosphere and in competition to it you play your fav song in full volumes!!! aah this has to be one of the best moments!
• the occasions when its so windy that umbrella turns-over or just flies off, its fun!!! Man!!! that's so...Mumbai rains!!!
  
• Not to forget hogging on garam garam batata wada and onion bhajiya whilst having kadak garam aadrak ki chai!!!

I am so missing Mumbai rains,already!!!!

good edu insti= (co-curricular+extra-curricular) activities + ample of opportunities = keeping students on the toes :)

"Things to do after exam" and "sleep" have no intersection if represented using a venn diagram! intersection is actually a null set...;)

It is in the best of human interest that majority of the human population believes in #god, one god would have been ideal though!

why do somethings seem so obvious after their discovery? they never seem so obvious before that at any pt of time ??? #science

I love and respect ' Homo sapiens ' they make 'FRIENDS' 'BEST FRIENDS' and 'FRIENDSHIP' :)

encounter with failure is necessary to take failure positively and talk abt it... it is an imp lesson learnt! so it better be early

whn u dont know something...u get the freedom and liberty to speculate anything, which is logical of course!

shld eat whn u r hungry and not whn its 'the' time to eat! like now :P

it makes REAL sense to do things...when u FEEL the NEED for it! like getting drunk :P

when ppl say short term memory loss they actually mean gold fish memory!

Hawking trending 4 sounding Atheist! he might not but millions out thr do believe in god! God can definitely start TT's if not universe lol

Murphy's Unspeakable Law: As soon as you mention something.. if it's good, it goes away. If it's bad, it happens(almst alwys happens 2 me):|

ABUSE is the best form of anger management evolved till date! I believe in it...everyone should!

@twitter

tweet on twitter and not twit on twitter or tweet on tweeter..anyways keep tweeting :P :D :) tweet (almost sounds lik a hiccup now) tweet

Formula 4 networking/influence index=(Twitter followers)x2+(FB connections)divided by2(2010 TIME 100)compute tweet,profile info in d making!

twitter stats r worth researching on!spl.ly wld b interesting 2 lk at d popularity as function of time,followers,RT n appearance of cheaters

Answer to life universe and everything (on twitter) is '140' (not 42)...thankfully we already know the Question??? What's happening?

 aft sumtime social netwking bcomes boring but this isn't d case wid "twitter" definitely not wid "blog" n will nevr happen 2 ur inbox

min. val of(following/followers)^no.of tweets shws u hrdly listn-u dont care wat ppl think abt u-still ppl follow u-u r famous-u r d king!!!

Tweets that remind me of AWESOME time dated then…

what do i like abt twitter? Don't know? all i know is i love twitter..its simple, its social n not so social at d same time ;)

on twitter u should knw whom 2 follow, coz it is 'the' thing tat decides wat u r going to read n wat awesome things u might stumble upon!

wat can potentially trend on twitter can never be predicted accurately! analogous 2 protein structure predictions, selection pressures et al

Trending on twitter is analogous to being on TV during the good old days..mostly a tru n definitely a direct replica of being famous! #saina

RT aka retweet

@edyong209 @RogerHighfield It's about time the public realised science is mainly done by 23 yr olds with hangovers.

and so it went on....and continues to be #awesome and when my blog link can be tweeted on twitter Why not Twitter on blog! :) :D :)

 I hope tweeple enjoy reading it...and can possibly connect to their twitter time! :)

For someone who isn’t on twitter or is figuring out wat it is…

Facebook is for the people in your class! ..Twitter is for people you wish were in your class :D

Also an advice from my side…

It’s the most important thing to follow right people in life… if you succeed you have an awesome time on twitter; no whr u get to ignore, block and not follow the known stay away types and follow the unknown befriend types J

Hope this relationship continues for years to come…Happy New Year!

An official guide to twitter lingo. Enjoy!
