Madd Hatter's Saturday Tragedy!

I cant believe how careless I can be sometimes! Its surprising and hugely annoying! Its a bad start to a long-awaited weekend!

I had planned a swim during the weekend. And so when the day arrived, I woke up at 7, with 6 hours of sleep under the belt and prepared for the swim with utter precision. I live in the suburbs, while the club I am a member in is in town, so its a long journey and I was looking forward to it. (The Mumbai trains in the morning have a calming effect on me!). And so the journey began, and I managed to see an episode of Supernatural on my way here. And then when I prepared to get down... voila! I remember that  I have forgotten my membership card at home! Such stupidity on my part! And well, the security was very un-helpful if I may say so. But then again they are doing their job.

So here I am at Queens Necklace, in the warmth of the morning sun, writing out my tragedy. (Lesson learnt.) Queens necklace is pleasant too you know? Just not the same as Nariman Point, but nevertheless, its calming. You can hear the waves crash at the beach, and it sure is amazing! People are walking and cycling and its definitely a good place to be! Quick trivia : The Queens Necklace, also Marine Drive, is known so because at night when the street lights are on it looks like a bejewelled necklace and is a sight to behold.

Its not such a bad start, now that I come to think of it! And yet, the feeling of the 'The Swim" that dint happen eats me. Ah, well! Such is life!

One thing I learnt today, sometimes while trying to get the small things right, we lose focus about the big and the important things don't we? (Ah, yes! Meet the philosophical me!)

Anyway,  here's an important tip for back-packers and potential back-packers... Make a list of things you need!! Or buy a Remembral if you can find one! (Make that 2, I need one too!:P) You don't want to leave for an excited trip only to realise that you forgot  your camera or your books (Yes they are must for me if I am travelling!), and well, end up fretting over it for the rest of the trip and/or end up spending money on things that you wouldn't have needed had you been a little more careful!

 I will put up a blog about this place within the next week. But till then if we have any players for 'Guess The Place' -Hit Me! :P. Clue : Its one of the most prestigious swim clubs of Mumbai! This time I will give out chocolates of your choice to you! :D

So let today's blog be a lesson to all, 'don't forget what you have, and remember what you don't!' My blessings shall be with you on any journey that you may plan to undertake! :P

Looking forward to a better Saturday (Fingers crossed!)

Till then readers,

Ciao!
