1st time Mumbai

Failed in 2D array initialization at Oracle interview and also at plotting RLC series-parallel circuit responses, I knew I won't be able to make it. Answering logic puzzles in milliseconds doesn't make much sense when you have guys with appropriate skills & apt logic sense.
I was rejected.
New shirt and no selection.

Set out for room again, biking for 1st time in Bangalore. Reached. Told Lalit entire story.
Tried being composed. I wasn't.
Logged in. Checked mailbox. Had response from Accenture off-campus. Had call.
Prepared. Packed. Set out.
1st meal of day came in form of Veg Biryani at a Madrasi restaurant. Boarded bus at 9.
20 straight hrs. Pune.
Last time it was train. Was kinda excited. Kunal and V and Cognizant.
Nothing this time. Wasn't thinking anything. Was trying not to think of anything.
Take things as they come and let go of them.
Tried relaxing. Couldn't. Called Kits. Told story. Slept.

Woke up at Belgaum: 630. Saw a big temple, thought of locating it on google map some time late.
Pune wasn't quite like a home coming.
Also Google map can deceive you at times. Showed the New Panvel campus near Dadar.
Believed.
Set out for Mumbai - 9 p.m. Volvo.

Woke up when bus was crossing Vashi around 1230. I had always wanted to visit Mumbai. This way, was never expected.
Conductor came in again and again.
Mankhurd... Sion, this, that, Dadar, Bandra, Andheri. Mumbai was appearing smaller than I had thought. Jogeshwari came at 1 10, I had set alarm for 1 11.
Just because I was so sleepy at the time of setting alarm, didn't care about moving finger over some other digit on keypad.

Reached Jagdish's room around 130. Had discussion.
'New Panvel is Panvel only, i.e. Navi Mumbai'
(Could have been two hr journey from Pune itself in morning)
Cursed Google.
Imagined tryst in Locals, next morning.
Slept.
Woke up at 645.
Jogeshwari to Dadar, to Wadala Road, to Panvel. Reached Campus at 10.

A2 batch had to wait outside, only to hear an hr late that campus for them was taken off.
I was in A2.
