Mumbai: Day Two
Considering the four hours of sleep at best, I was apprehensive about this day. I figured perhaps I hadn't yet adjusted to the time difference (IST = GMT + 5:30), jet lag, all that jazz, but anyway, as planned I made my way by auto to Bandra having spoken to Mr. A from M's phone (as mine still wasn't working). He said he's pick me up from the National College Gate. The driver had no real clue where he was going & kept stopping to ask other autos where this college was, most of them just pointed straight ahead. Obviously I had no clue at this stage, an hour or so later eventually I gave up on the guy & told him to drop me next to a payphone & that I'd work it out. I did.

Mumbai: Day One
The early hours: Despite having slept at stupid o'clock, I was up at about half nine. This is when the heat had become a hindrance to my movement. I found myself wide awake mentally, but unable to move away from under the fan. That's when I wrote-up my first blog entry & caught up with e-mails, facebook messages, tweets & suchlike. Okay, I'll admit, I'm just trying to make myself sound supremely organised, truth is I probably let quite a few messages slip between the cracks without even realising. ;) When you manage your inboxes by practically having an iPhone embedded in your hand 24x7, shifting to checking once every few hours when in a wi-fi zone is a tad overwhelming.

Mumbai: Arrival - Ground Zero
As I'd been told a gazillion times, the first thing that hit me was the heat. It's those first few seconds after you leave the airport where there is a sudden punch of WTF, that's not right, who's been playing with the thermostat? Merely a few minutes later, I got over it, it wasn't so bad. It was hot, but there was a nice breeze too. I met with M who had come to receive me & we got declined an auto-rickshaw by the first driver we approached. Another agreed & took us on board. As we hit the roads, the abundance of stray dogs was notable, we scooted over to Smokin' Joe's pizza place where I had my first meal. Pizza. Quite ironic, I know, but it was late at night
