Mumbai firsts

So my shift to my new life started with two Kismet and Angat dropping me to Delhi airport to catch the flight to Mumbai. This time I was not going for a 10 day holiday I was going to start my new life in Mumbai. So it has been over a month that I have been here and so what have I done in one month you may ask since I still dont have a job.

Well lets see I got to Mumbai and Amrita was still working on her movie Ta Ra Rum Pum so I hung around with here for the first few days at the set at Yash Raj saw some stars (Abhishek, Saif, Bobby Deol, Javed Jaffery et all).

Amrita lived in a nice One bedroom flat in 4 Bungalows which all of a sudden got very small as I got there as the occupants were Amrita, Sabrina (Amrita's sister), Nyma (Amrita's 12 year old niece), Shoba (the maid), Waffle (the mad cocker spaniel), Lou and Lara (two turtles) and me. So first order of business was to find a new house to shift too. Now Amrita and Sabrina had alreadys started hunting and had got a few places they liked and wanted me to see. So we went and saw 3 houses and the one that they liked i liked too and we decided to go for it. So it was a new building on Yari Road near a fishing village so we are near the sea like 10 meters away on the fourth floor and tow bedrooms and a huge sitting dining area and a nice kitchen and oh yea 2 loos (for the lack of images I am sorry I lost my camera on the train to Delhi so :( )

Now Amrita was working so was her sister and all of a sudden we had a new house that we needed to shift into by the 10th so Vir who was sitting at home started packing since we didnt have any time left. We met the new land lady and she said we could shift in anytime and we could start cleaning the place up and all that.

Now Amrita the Art Director that she is walked into our new empty house and said we needed to paint the sucker as it was all a horrid yellowish colour. So a call was made to her painters who came the next day to check out the house and Amrita told them what had to be done and they set out to work.

The dining room two walls were to be made an orangy dirty looking mediteranian wall ( you will get the drift when I have images to back it up). Our room got a nice deep red wall with a light grey on the rest and Saby's and Nyma got a Purplely wall while the rest a light green the rest of the house was painted white. The front door become a funky blue.

So the house was painted and cleaned and ready for all of us to move so the day came where the truck came to pick up all the stuff and move us into our new residence. So officially on the 11th of November Vir Nakai officially had his own place and was finally out of Chandigarh mentally as well as physically I had finally left home.

The next few days went in Carpenter, Electrician, Plumber getting the house up and running. Now I sit in the Living Room with VH1 blaring Oldies music chilling in my house.

Now dont get me wrong its not like I have not done anything else other than shift and get the house running and shit. Amrita and I partied with some friends some old chandi school mates, went partying to DJ Aqueel's club Poison which was not that hot but we went back to Joshi's house where we smoked a cigar he got us for our engagement drank way too much vodka and had one glass of single malt. One evening I made an Italian dinner with Amrita and ate way too much. One night Nakai (he is a cousin of Amrita's just shifted to Mumbai as well he is a designer and is hitting Mumbai as well. being a Nakai yea he is related to me but closer to Amrita dont ask man its damn complicated).So I have my nights out here as well just a start to a lot more :).

Today I finally got my self a new Airtel Mumbai number which will get active in like 5 days (I dont get that why it should take so long and all that but hey whatever). I have given an interview and have a good feeling about it will update you on that when I know. On the 28th I fly back to Delhi and then to Chandigarh Angad and Tara's wedding and will be back in Mumbai by the 5th.

I think it will be great to go back to Chandigarh now to holiday and not as a resident coming back from a holiday. Sure I miss Chandigarh there is a lot to miss like my roof and drinking beer with nitin and mad life I had there but her who said Mumbai is not as cool.

Well that is that for me.. I will update my new address with phone number later.
