Good Afternoon from Mumbai

Good afternoon.

So now I’m in Mumbai again after a train trip that was about 5 hours late and didn’t even stop at the main Mumbai station, but way out in the suburbs. So I had to take a ricksha to another local station and from there grab a local train to CMT – Chhatrapati Mumbai Station.

The local train came in real fast and did hardly make a full stop. So, when I was about to get on with my bags, I had my suitcase halfway into the train and I was still outside the train. A guy took the suitcase and dragged that in. I jumped with my backpack and grabbed the middle railing in the door opening (no door) and while the train took off I had to drag myself onto the train. People came running to help me, but at that time I had already dragged myself in.

Now, as a result I have a wonky swollen finger which was my only support while dragging myself onto the train. Left middle finger so I’m constantly giving people the finger since it doesn’t bend that well.

 

Anyway, as a result of the delay I got to the hotel at 11:30 am instead of 6:30 am. (Bit of a delay)

Checked in, took a shower, changed clothes and went to see if the optician can help me with my wonky glasses.  He couldn’t.. they are broken.

 

So I went for lunch. There as I was eating… when I got approached by a film crew, they asked if I would mind being filmed?
I agreed…no problem. So I got filmed eating puri/thali and also interviewed by a local tv channel. They asked me about thali and why I came to that particular puri place. 🙂

Anyway, now I’m at a coffee shop having a macchiato and a chocolate cake. Because why not.

Not much of adventure left for the day, so I hope this finds you all well. !

See you out there.
