Harry Potter

Was amazing....

I was surprised I would take those pains to watch a mere movie. Well it was different than most times, since I was going to see Mr. Potter and his friends and foes at the Dome Screen at IMAX ADLABS.

Had already booked tickets online for the 10:30 PM show. Was all set to go, and then it happened. The Lord of rain decided to play his best - it began raining cats and dogs. And obviously I did not want to ride my Enfield in the rainy night.

SO had to depend on local transportation services.
Left home at 9 PM.Managed to get there on time.
Saw the movie. 'Twas great!
Move got over at 12:45 AM.
It was still raining.

Fortunately, there was a cab that was "available" and I could hire. Asked the guy to drop me at Chembur station.
Went to the ticket counter at the station. It was 1: 15 AM. I asked for a ticket to Sanpada, and that S.O.B on the counter told me the last train has left, and next train (first train) is at 4 AM.

Why S.O.B?
Coz he lied.

A guy who was standing at the PCO just next to the counter told me that the last train is at 1:20 AM and that I should demand a ticket. When I did, the counter fellow had nothing to say! I got home at 1:45 AM

I got on the last train, thanks to the stranger at the PCO, else I would have had to go thru the inconvenience for seeking other alternatives.


So thats...Happy Potter finally :-)
