Reaching a metro city early in morning was no new thing for me. The AC coach assistant wakes you up. You see people rushing to washroom, brushing their teeth and furiously wearing socks(combination does not matter, what matters is one should get down at right station). Thanks to my friend Mr. Savior, we got off @ LTT. It was turn of the city of dreams to welcome us duo.
Elite one-on-one meetings on coffee tables, groups of beautiful ladies with the bride rushing to the lift and some lonely souls on the table were found en route our exploration journey. Although I adored the richness of elite, luck of business people and beauty of bride, I could feel a connect with them. I did realize that on basic level, they too are human like us. I felt happy for the bride for getting married, sad for distressed looking rich people on restaurant and acknowledged a daily frame of relationship in form of 'transaction'. We headed back to basement to attend the function.
After hopping one local train we managed to reach the hotel. Mr. Infant was already stationed since a day and we had little difficulty in locating the hotel. My curiosity and mobile managed to sniff wi fi connection in the hotel. Infant was getting ready for his event and Savior decided to explore the city(he got lucky with his visit the starbucks). I decided to take to visit my friend's place in afternoon.
A good nap of 4 hours was culminated with a call from my friend. We caught up after 45 minutes and headed his home. Aunty was kind enough to serve a delicious regale. Soon it was dusk and I boarded auto to Bandra. The trip in Auto was full of riches and rags around, handsome buildings and Savior's texts on going gaga over the place(where the event was held).
If you are wondering where should you visit to experience the 'Mayavi' of Mumbai, Bandra is the place to be. Ultra cool females, sublime luxuries, relaxed couples, smooth driveway and a lovely looking hanging bridge. Bandstand houses the abode to superstars of film industry(including Mannat of Badshah) and the super sleek Hotel Taj Lands End. We were lucky to attend the event in one of the finest brand of hotels across the nation.
With the consultation of Mr. Infant, I headed to the basement, where the event was scheduled to be organized. I soon met with Savior and we decided to explore the hotel and take pictures. In next 30 minutes, I witnessed a sneak peek of life in a luxury hotel, a life I am sure most of us strive to live.

The event was held in a grandiose manner. Me and Savior relished the snacks offerings and soft drinks served to audience as a part of event.
"Dude, I think we are gonna win something. Lets borrow blazer from students back" uttered Savior in a suspicious voice.
Our conviction of winning slowly started getting stronger as our award category approached neared. We managed to borrow blazers from two kind souls, at the time of nomination announcement and were delighted to learn ourselves as the joint winners in our category.
The aftermath of award ceremony was colorful indeed. So jolly was Mr. Savior that our of excitement he picked up a wrong trophy for posing picture. My calculative mind(which I inherited from Smart Dude) alerted me of the discrepancy as I rushed to keep the trophy back at its original position, only to discover a lady faculty frantically searching for it. I couldn't stop smiling(due to Savior's act) while conveying my apologies to madam.
As I was heading out of hotel, I realized one thing. The people in hotel whom we envy, are normal persons. And not everyone out there is rejoicing that choice. There are some who are tied by the shackles of business and didn't seemed to enjoy the luxury. Not everything is hunky dory!
