Blasted off

Two days ago Seven blasts occoured on the Mumbai local trains one after the other in quick succession.These were one of the bloodiest ones ever in Mumbai.the stations and the railway tracks were strewn with body parts.The train compartments were ripped open.Today a meeting has been arranged in AZAD MAIDAN between 6.30-7.00PM to mourn the tragedy.I request all the people to be present there with candles and matchboxes.
I was at home when the blasts occured,And all my family members are safe.one of our very important employees was in the same train.Luckily he was safe and was stuck at Bhayandar station without any help for hours.
I will be leaving for Jalgaon soon.i have been getting calls from pals to come early But i dont feel like leaving.My room partners have already reached.But i havent even packed my bags as yet.I need to geta few things,and most importantly complete my driving sessions.i have been taking classes twice a day to complete them.And have abt 8-9 more sessions to go.
I will have to come back once i go, to test test my driving skills at the RTO.I know ill pass it easily.I think i can drive nicely.now a days my instructor does not intrude much when im driving.He justs tell me to slow down occasionaly.Rest of the time he is busy humming an old Hindi classic song.He does not allow me to control the brakes.I drove twice on the eastern express highway.It was fun driving there.Thats when he allowed me to engage the 4 gear in the car.I like the indigo very much.The engine is very resposive.The turbo pitches in at ab 4000-5000RPM ,which really makes the driving experience memorable.But in my case the moment i start pushing the car to its limit,My instructor tells me to slow down.I wish the gearbox in the car would have been a bit better,cause it takes a lot of 'muscle power' to engage and disengage a gear'
My cousin is will be reaching here tomorrow.I have been waiting for him eagerly as the rest of the family members.Its quite a big occasion for us.Will write more soon

floods again

Its been 5 days since it has been raining.its really boring to stay at home.i dont have an internet connecttion in my new Pc.So i cant do much either.Its really sad,with nothing to do and water level rising.
By the end of the second day out entire compound was strewn with plastics and other garbage,which came drifting along with the flood water.The news was boring as they just showed the same videos again and again.the water logging in our area would only persist for sometime like abt 4 hours or something.But then all the water would get drained off.
But althroughtout the day people kept moving,There were cars going and a number of shops were open.NON STOP MUMBAI
