I met my neighbour .....


Well, today as i was waiting for my train in Mumbai Central  and a man who from his looks was visibly a  Muslim came to me and asked whether this was he platform where the fast local trians stop. I repiled saying that it did. He then asked me how long will it take to reach Bandra. I said in a fast it took 10-15 mintues. He looked impressed. Then i asked him whether he was new in Mumbai. He said he was. So then i asked him from which 'Gaon' he came from. He replied that he came from a 'Sheher' . When i asked him which city he replied Karachi. I was quite thrilled to meet some from Pakistan. He told me that life in Karachi was just like Mumbai. Except that Mumbai a good transport network specially the local train service. He talked about the strong transport lobby in Karachi that prevents trians from running. Well we then exchanged a lot of other information. He then asked me where i was from. When he heard i was from South he was again impressed. he asked me about mt studies and what i did. As we were speaking he train arrived. In the chaos of getting in the train i lost him.
But this meeting will be quite a memorable one
