Over the past few days, I have come to realise, no distance is too large for a mumbaikar. I know people who travel all the way from one corner if the city to the other to study, which would be completely normal if it were a small city. But mumbai, is a VERY big city. 233 sq. miles to be exact.
I wanted to take the arts stream for my 11th and 12th and had managed to get decent marks in the boards so i secured a seat in Ramnarain Ruia college of arts and commerce, matunga. But matunga was a bit too far to travel by bus to, so i was finally, FINALLY going to have to travel by the elusive local train which i had been avoiding for a very long time. College was to start on 20th july and 20th july was also going to be the day i would travel the city by the mumbai local, alone. For the first time.
