Life changes so fast in Mumbai
I never thought few days back that in the same Mumbai, where people don't get space to breath while travelling back to home in peak hours...and I would be travelling in BEST bus on busiest route during peak hours and sitting and typing the blog from my laptop and posting the same.,,,'
The journey is comfortable in AC and travel time is useful now - I can chat with Client or can do work or freak on facebook and orkut.
See I am laughing

Republic day @ aman's school
Attending republic day celebration at my son's school (Ryan International, Sanpada) reminded me my own school's day....

My name is Khan vs 3 idiots
On my previous blog "Release of my name is Khan in Navi Mumbai" I got comments from my friend "Vinayak Ranade" and he challenged that "My name is khan" is no where against "3 idiots" of Amir Khan.
First of all I want to clarify here that I did not compare Shahrukh Khan's movie "My name is khan" with 3 idiots, If I do so than I will not remain an idiot and I am proud to be one of the idiots. I compared here Shahrukh movie with his own movies only. When I say it was worth watching.... I meant it was better than his previous movies and he did better than before.....
I don't think he can ever reach @ the stage of Amir....can give his any competition....

Release of 'My Name is Khan' in Navi Mumbai
Today planned to watch controversial film "My Name is Khan", went to book matinee show early morning @ Palm Beach Galleria, Navi Mumbai........
Heavy load of police and security was deployed there - Didn't understand it was because of political issue or terrorist threat. First feel came in mind to give up idea of watching film, still went to booking counter and found that there was no advance booking...
Came back @ noon to watch the movie, had to clear extra security check to enter in the mall, even I had to remove my shoes surely due to terrorist threat... with fear and confusion started watching movie....And realized it was worth watching the movie as it is really good movie. After a long time Karan Johar and SRK given a different movie and good story.....
Kajol, srk both did act well......

Is drinking a major problem for society?
A 27-year-old Nuriya Yusuf Ahluwalia, crashed her Honda CRV a Qualis belonging to the traffic police, a motorcycle and a taxi. Several people got injured and two died. Woman was driving drunk. She has been arrested.
There had been several instances in past when some drunk driver lost control on his/her vehicle and killed some people on the street. Drunk driving is being treated as serious offence as I got news their is plan to implement approx 6 month jail as punishment on people caught drunk while driving.
If you really recollect recently a 9 year old Russian girl was attempted to rape by one Indian at Goa beach. Police arrested two people, and these people accepted that they were under influence of liquor. If you actually see these people had no previous criminal record and are one of us.
And actually you pickup few criminal activities in past like rape & murder, not all but many of them were either carried by drunk people or somewhere related with drinking.
Like few months back a US national girl was gang rapped while she was drunk and was not in her sense.
So putting controls over drunk driving is enough or actual root problem is with drinking itself, where there is no talk or intention to ban it. Drinking culture is growing in our country, so these kind of issues. If a drunk person is not able to control his self and how you can accept from him to take a wise decision like weather he should drive or not.
I don't think all people loose control after drinking, then why other goes that way. In defence and army the drinking is a culture but their bar has limit on drinking like people in bar one can't have more them 3 pegs. Is it sensible to think about controlling drink therefore a person is allowed to drink at certain limit only?

AC Buses from Navi Mumbai made life lot easier
BEST AC Bus chineese made.jpg)
NMMT AC bus - Volvo NMMT and BEST have started many AC buses from Navi Mumbai to Mumbai, which has made life lot easier for some people
NMMT AC buses are much better than BEST AC buses and fair is also cheaper (around 20-25% cheaper)
NMMT major bus routes
1. Bus No 105 from Belapur to Bandra Stn and Bandra Stn to Belapur
great thing about this Bus is that it starts from Bandra Stn gate (At west) itself. So if you are coming out of the station you don't need to go far to catch the Bus, you might find the Bus standing outside station waiting for you.

From Ghansoli station to seepz in morning it takes hardly 45-50 mins. Till airoli the seats are vacant in the Bus
