Churchgate Station: Eating Options

Churchgate is one of the busiest suburban stations. And just as I am planning to get on board to fight for another day after missing my breakfast I feel hunger pangs. The 7:53 Andheri Slow is still a few minutes away. I survey the options: Ikays, WRly catering, and QuickBite. Out of the which QuickBite and Ikays are too near the loo for olfactory comfort. WRly catering along with Frankie have a small outlet which serves Cold Coffee (Most Popular Rs 10/-), IceCream of various shades and Frankie ofcousrse serves frankies of which Chicken Frankie (Rs 25/-) is the most succulent one. The downside is that it is made fresh and takes about 7 minutes and it looks that I will miss the 7:53. The faster option is at Ikays which serves readymade microwaved Chicken Rolls but is tad expensive (Rs 28 + 12.5% VAT ThankYou = Rs 31.50). Well I stuff it in my mouth fast otherwise I might even miss the 7:56 Borivali Slow!

Male Rivers

Recently I came across an interesting factoid: Most of the rivers in India are mythologically female, however there are a few male rivers also. I could find only two: Brahmaputra and Damodar. Anyone knows any more?

The New Year!

A Happy New Year!
Sometimes it so happens that under the weight of present commitments we chose to ignore the future with a stoic feeling that nothing much can be done about that. I believe the New Year is just the right time to shake off this feeling with taking stock of the future and the past and looking forward with enthusiasm and curiosity rather than cynicism.
