Getting a feel of Mumbai

After spending last 2.5 yrs in Hyderabad, last month I shifted to Mumbai. Reason: Study!!! There is a stark difference between two cities. Hyderabad is a very laid back city while Mumbai is always in a jiffy. It rains a lot more over here than it used to do in Hyderabad. So much so that it has been raining here everyday since June 25- the day when monsoon reached Mumbai. I love rains and so I'm quite happy.. I haven't seen such an awesome rainy season since my childhood. So, I'm enjoying my bit here. Needless to say, the 1st habit that this city has cultivated in me is to carry an umbrella whenever I venture out of
my hostel room...be it going to campus or to the nearest bazaar, an umbrella is a must.

I have been occupied with one or other thing in past one month..haven't got really any time to explore Mumbai and its surroundings. However, last week, I went to Lonavala along with my complete batch. The place was beautiful. It was raining for all 5 days...the mountains had a green carpet all over them, lot of rivets travelled down the hills forming water pools from which clouds used to form repeating the whole process again and again. It was fascinating experience..a sight to behold. I never knew western ghats were so beautiful!!!

And yeah, yesterday I saw 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' at PVR, Juhu. The movie sucked.. I dunno what David Yates had in his mind when he created this movie.. Probably, he should read the novel again and also watch all 1st five parts just to understand what a Harry Potter movie should be all about. My rating: 2 out of 5 for this movie.
