Hi everyone.finally got a chance to travel in the recently started "Mumbai Metro".so here i write a small report about the same.it all starts from mulund station.i take the CST slow for ghatkopar,it's the same kind of journey which i have been used to since a very long time.i alight at ghatkopar and take the FOB which directly takes me to the metro station.well when i reached the metro station it didn't look like one rather it appeared like a season sale at a store,there were people everywhere.they were fighting to get in and pass through the gates.the guards and the staff were just helpless.the station is well built and all the sign boards are well placed and they don't confuse you like the ones at Heathrow.i pass through security and get my ticket from the counter and proceed towards the gates.the staff members were urging people to make a queue...

but it was of no use.somehow i make my way out of that commotion and quickly reach the platform via the escalator.there i see a new shining rake,it was just gr8.i see the indicator and quickly get in and reserve a place.within mins announcement are made and the door is shut and we are ready to move.it starts well and soon gains speed.well for a moment i thought i was in some other country but after having a gaze outside the window and seeing the slums i came back to reality.the rakes are good and well maintained.the indicators and space within is also good.i just hoped if they could make the announcement more louder bcoz it was almost impossible to hear them bcoz of the huge chatter among the crowd.the staff was really good and helpful,they were at every station to see that people moved in and out properly.station passed very quickly and i was busy looking out of the window.the very best moment was when i passed WEH(western express highway),they have built a cable bridge there and also there is very less distance between the highway and the bridge,really a engineering marvel.well soon the metro made it to D.N. nagar and it was time to say goodbye.well truely speaking the chinese built metro has well adapted to the bambaiya climate.i left the station as a happy Mumbaikar :)

but again the process of acquiring land is a problem.its a important station and plans for its development are going on since a long time.i feel since the road connectivity is not good the chance to make it a terminal will be less.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
