Sabzi Mandi

This is specially for all those who hav qualms about flying off to the States. Perhaps I can suggest a small algorithm to boost up your resolve to do well in GREs and GMATs and run off!!!

1. Take up an 8.00 am class at Dadar (Vidyalankar, Excellent, Kalpana...doesn't matter!!).
2. See to it that the class has over 100 students in it and still counting.
3. Go late by train and reach Dadar station at 7.45 am.
4. Walk from there as fast as you can to the class taking the sabzi mandi road.

What will happen is you will hav to run a hurdles race. Your hurdles? People unloading carrots and radishes from trucks, females carrying big tokris of tomatoes, buses honking their way behind u and taxis blocking your way in front of you!!

What could go wrong here?? I mean how hard is it to dodge all these when we are champions at braving the local trains!! Well you just might slip and fall flat in the swamp that wasted vegetables create on the road. Or maybe if you irritate a vendor with too much profanity she'll throw a rotten tomato at you. Ofcourse you might still survive right till Vidyalankar's building and then a bird will shit on you!!

If you are against a hurdles race you can try the marathon instead. Sprint across straight from Dadar station. Then outrun vehicles coming at you at supersonic speed on Tilak Bridge. Again run down the stairs on the other side of the bridge. You only hav to encounter a little of the Sabzi Mandi then. Did I mention that part sells all types mirchi, masalas, pudina and ginger garlic?? You just hav to endure that violent bout of sneezes!!!

After all this what's the prize you ask?? Why its the coveted seat in your class which otherwise wud be overflowing with students!! You get to choose one that's not too near to the AC or fan nor too far from it and which is near to the sir (if he's cute) or far from him (if his lectures are soporific).

Do this for 1 or 2 classes if you havent experienced it already. Beliv me you'll work like crazy for ur exam if only to get to a more clean environment!!!
