About today

Went to the college early in the morning. Only special trains were plying, and I got onto the six forty which left after waiting for atleast ten minutes on the platform. It took a pretty long time, and stopped for apparently random reasons at random times. The tracks were pretty clear, but the train still inched along the kurla-sion stretch. Went to college fifteen minutes late for the first lecture, and didn't give my attendance. no serious lecture was taken. a few people showed up for the third lecture, the beggening of which, the long bell went off, signifying the fact that it was an emergency, and the students had to be sent home.
The emergency turned out to be pretty phantom, and was probably one o those cyclone or tsunami roumers that the police were quick to squash. The trains were better off in the afternoon, although, still, only special trains were plying. We had to wait for an hour before a train showed up, and the ones going towards CST were hell packed, with people riding on top, and on the windows too. Must have been pretty dangerous. Even with such a crowd, the new ramp at the station continued to be unused. People are so habituated at using the old one, that they don't even consider the new one.

Tried to boat at talao Pali, but obviously couldn;t, so we had pepsi near the edge, and came home. Went to chrag's amazing penthouse in the evening, it is an apartment with two storeys. cool eh? After that pretty much came home adn am contemplating activating GPRS. Resisting the urge, knowing that it wouldn't be too helpful beyond the fact that it allows you to blog on the go.
The prices are pretty cheap especially for postpaid, where it is a 49 basic deal with an additional 3 per mms, but with prepaid, its a 99 deal and 0 per mms. I have prepaid...
there is also a paise per kb charge, and different charges for various games and stuff.
But wouldn't need them... just the ability to check gmail and blog. will bide my time and see developements, before going in for anything.
