MIX Story Post

A collection of short paragraphs of all the topics that I wished to write about in the previous week. Sunrise is a perfect moment to Rise and Shine. Its been a month into my training in Kandivali, same route since long time and still a new perspective came in today. So far mornings have always been associated with my runs and school buses and kids that I encounter on my way. I am talking about 6am to 8am time. I take three short train journeys to complete my real long journey to my work place. I mentioned a few post ago that I generally walk to office from station at around 8.30 am. Sun doesn't come up much but the entire place is well light up and fresh. Today I saw the shops being opened. Few closed and many already set and waiting for their first customer. Some are busy, cleaning and arranging the counters and food packets. Some shops like dairy and stalls like newspaper are meant to be opened early. What I see is hardware shops, foot wares and even gift shops. May be this is one of the way in which these guys do hard work. No conclusion to be drawn here as such, abrupt end it is to be for all the thoughts.

Group 5- refer the following article to know the background of the coming paragraph - Group - 5. So we are 4 member team. It is human tendency (or just mine) to find similarities as well as differences and just try to co-relate each and every event that takes place. On this lines, let me take you through few chatchy links between the members. NEWS- North East West South, that is what our team is. They may not be leaving there, but belong from there. Covering the entire region. Rohit (Pahadi) - Northie, Shraddha (Goblin) - East, Myself (let it be a secret) - West and Kartik (KG) - South. All of us are Chasmis O_O . Last but not the least for now -- all are 'O+'. O+ is not so rare, but not so common too and so is worth noting that all four ended being in one team.

It being 11th October today and 11.10 pm, just 1 week to go before my Chennai Mail flags off.. Yes, I'll be on board it and going Chennai (Kanchipuram), my new work place and my first out of the fortress (Mumbai) expedition. I want those filmy style Long Good Byes which ain't gonna happen. What so ever worst case scenarios I thought off are turning out to be true. The timing is so late that it so not so possible for the near and dear ones to reach out. Secondly, train starts from CST but out boarding is from Dadar. So, once in there is hardly any chance to be out of the train again for the last time, Phew !!

Yesterday there were too many things to cheer about. Was back to stuff that I like the most, experimenting on real stuffs. There is some machine in plant which happen to be relatively noisy than others and our team was working on different solutions. So far all our suggestions were on paper, yesterday we finally touched and modified some set up, although the set up failed but atleast we made a start. The assembly always keeps moving and cars keep coming in and so cant make any changes in between. We get just one opportunity in the entire day to make big change and that is during the lunch break. 25 to mins is what we get and also we need to hope that out modifications don't hamper the core purpose of the machine.

The day ended on an even higher level of Awesomeness. Meeting my Bestie (Boxer), Ms MBiAn and Salman. Before that, a small incident happened. My dad keeps coming to Kandivali (my office is in Kandivali) and Malad, but very occasionally. I was on my way to Kandivali to catch a train for lower parela dn out of no where I see my dad suddenly appear and talking on call and it was my Mom. That moment and all the connection simply blew me off :). Back to friends meet -We roamed and talked and discussed. Work places issues to film talks to marriage proposals. Had Gol Gappe after Eons, I had stop eating them except for hostels. All credit to Boxer for the delicious dish. We went to a sports shop there and tried out Big Ball Juggling and boy did I succeed, I should have recorded it. There were skateboards too and I just couldn't stay away from it. Tried it once or twice and Bang, I was down. That was the ended, I just walked off the store before it was too late :)


Let me not make it any more bigger. I am very hopeful that there will a charging point in our compartment. If things go as planned I'll be writing a blog on my way with some attempt to make readers interactive. Stay tuned for a week more and do contribute to the next post.
