Lost n Found !

Man this is something BIG !

Imagine loosing stuff in Mumbai ka local trains...pretty easy huh ? But now think about getting it back...looking at the screen as if i asked for both your kidneys ????? :-D Not your fault, reallly...But this kind of a 'miracle' has happpened...and that too, to none other than I ME MYSELF !!!!! :-O

Date and time : 25th December 2007 around 4.

Venue : VT* bound fast train from Thane

*i prefer calling it Victoria Terminus...sounds propah ! :-P

Enough of flowerry stuff, cant wait to actuallly tell you ehat happened. Me and Soniya wanted to go to fashion street and we had like very little time with us. She had to be back by 7 to meet her friend, in Thane, leaving us with only 3 hours to finish that chotusa trip !

We took the fast train, got to sit at around Kurla. But before we got the seats, i put my bag in the uppar ka rack. ( Anyone who's been inside a local train will know what the hell am i talking about! If you havent, take a trip right now!!!!!! ) We were so lost in talking about other things, useless offcourse, that we dint realise that i dint have the bag with me when we left the train at VT. We were walking towards the exit, planning what all stuff to buy and other insignificant things like that. Till this time, we have NO IDEA that the bag is LOST !

At exactly the exit, i felt thristy and reached for my bag. It alwaaaaaaaaaaaays hangs sideways, at the moment but it wasn't !!!!!!!! I screamed out so loud that a couple of people around me litterallly RAN outside and dint even stop to take a look at what they were running away from! :-P

We rushed back to the train, which obviously wasnt waiting for us. What am i, Princess of Jupiter that it will wait for me? What was i thinking!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, i'd gooofed up bigtime. Thankfully i had my cell phone in my hand and thats the only reason why i kept my cool. Otherwise it would have been a totalllllll cry-baby scene. ( yeah i cry REALLLLLLY EASILY :-P )

Anyways, we ran to the police guys who were sitting behind a desk and randomly looking at people. Not that i am interested in knowing what they look at, but that like quite an interesting job. You get paid for looking all day long at people! And any given day, atleast 30% of Bombay's college crowd steps on the VT station....so Ahem, definetly Interesting !!!!!!!!!!! ;-) And its not like alll office going Uncles look scumish, is it...Ahem, worth hai boss !!!!! :-P

Coming back on track again ( I tend to go offtrack alllllll the time... :-l traaaas ) we told them what happpened and they just kept staring at me. I dont mind the stares, seriously, its ok BUT they were alll FEMALE police persons...I'm like, 'stop looking at me and telll me what to do!!!!!!'. Finalllly after proper scannning ( thats the only thing i can think of! ) they told me to contact the station master. Some reallly rickety old guy...

We went, We told, We waited. Nothing Happpened. We repeated the procedure again. Boink! Nothing happpened again!!!! :-) MAGIC !

But then there were 2 ladies who had lost their bag at Byculla or something and had come to collect it. So we thought kaaam ho jayegaa...but ( there is alwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays a stupid but everywhere! ) the station master's assistant ( he sits outside the station master's cabin ) started screaming at them...'cant you take care of your stuff. Aapki wajah se hame pareshaani ho jaati hai...blah blah badang badang...'

Finallly he noticed US! haaaye re kismat! Without waiting for him to question us, we told him how i lost my bag and how there were chances that no one will open it ( thanks to terrorists! )so we could retrive it at the next station Byculla, if he callled up the station master there. He refued. Point blank.

Fine, just telll me if you don't wannna get your goofy ass into work. ( Not that his ass had to do anything, he could have very well dialed the phone with his stupid rotten fingers! ) He started screaming at us also! We are like 'help kar saktey ho toh batao...free mein chilllao mat %$&&*$ $%*$#@^ ( thoda bahut profanity at times like those is allllowed :-P i was frustrated no! )

We walkedout of the room and i began calculating. The bag has just 30 bucks in it. But, it had my earphones, my i-card ( ohhhhh, which i lost in an auto some days back !!!!! ), a few things important like...yeah okay, some stuff given by some friends...did not want to loose that! and also...the bag was EXPENSIVE ! i paid like 40 bucks for that stupid bag ! i had to had to had to find it !!!

That's when soniya had a what-an-idea-sirjee!!! She callled up my sis and we gave her exact details of where the bag was and how grateful we would be if she got it back for us. The train had left from VT at 4.50, it was a Kasara bound fast train and i left the bag in the first ladies comparment, on the right hand side. thats all the information we gave her. End of stoy. We proceeded with shopping.

I was looking at what i'd calll the pretttiest dress in the universe when my sis called to say that she had found the bag. The dress was ink blue, silk types, had noodle straps and was AWESOME! i wasnt reallly interested in the bag at that moment...but since the dress was way tooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive ( 800 on the roadside!!!!!!!!! ) i got alll excited about the bag! :-P It was mine, i lost it, i found it back! Enough reason to forget about that dress...

I guess it was just the christmas charm. maybe there was some 's-aunty claus' who kept gaurading my bag so that no one touches it. whatever the case might be...i found my bag !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pretttty amazing isnt it...

Unblieveable????? come let me pinch you blue!!!! :-D
