MUMBAI ADVENTURES DAY 6


Early to bed , early to rise makes a man healthy , wealthy and wise... taught in school. but this proverb/phrase(whatever it is called ) is tough to apply practically in case u are a traveler to mumbai especially... early to bed is out of question given the night life here and in case u come out of the disc or pub early the traffic will make sure u wont reach ur dwelling place not before midnight!. after a tiring 5 th day we slept quite late at around 0100 hrs and when that happens getting up at 700 hrs is also tough .. we did mange to get upa nd get ready by 1000 hrs. for the day only IMAX was a must visit place and the remaining time was to be spent in dadar market... traveling in mumbai is a headache or i can add backache or bodyache to the list. the estimated time for travel from andheri to wadala where this magnanimous theatre is located was 1 hour 15 minutes provided there was not much traffic..and 2 hours or more if traffic s heavy. man i thought i could go to baharat mall , see a movie and come back in the time that i ll take to reach this theatre itself!! traffic was not too heavy thankfully and we took a hour and a half to reach the place.. IMAX was screeinng Space Station that day and for the experience of 3 d cinema in a dome theatre that would be apt i thought.. i had seen i max dome in hyderabad and was very impressed and now to watch in a bigger dome was more than jus exciting.. to describe the movie experience in a word it would be BREATHTAKING.. an experience that lasts for a lifetime... we then went to dadar market for some shopping..the market is so huge that its not very difficult to get lost in it.u ll find everything for sale here from sand to building , from needle to sword .... time was spent in bargaining a lot over evrything more than buying anything. meanwhile my friend gautham had asked me to get a good make up kit from mumbai to gift to his fiancee... and i stumbled upon some quality stuff ... thank god..after all this we decided to head back to the den ...to andheri again .. we stopped at tunga paradise at andheri for dinner and had a hearty dinner... the last dinner of this trip as we were leaving the next day...
