Me and my Miserable days

Mumbai....its the place to be they say...not really i think. The last week ..more than that..i have been here for the past 10 days or so. And i can well say that these were the most horrible days i ever had in my life. Yes...really. Its a long long story of my misery and suffering and pain...(you can think more miserable words)..just fil in whatever........**********................. Well....that starts with December 8th...morning 4am..i reached mumbai. That time everything was pretty fine....we were happy that the company was arranging for our accomodation...it was supposed to be a nice hotel...one of the best here(infact i had read reviews of that on the net). We spent a lot of bucks in the cab..got to the hotel....we were a group of 12 ppl..so we got out..our luggages dropped...we were expecting the hotel staff to come and fetch our luggage..give us a warm cozy room.......and blah blah blah. So..two guys went in just to inform that WE...THE GREAT GUYS had come. OK.....so after some time they came out n doom!!!!...no booking for us? The hotel ppl were infact asking who we were!!! well..ok ..guys said no problem ..lets sort it out with the company people..ok..we callled them...no1 picked up...it was morning ...every1 wud be sleeping...so 2 hours or so...we were out there in the open...after that someone called...n they picked up.....and gave us the NEWS....we had a booking....we wud get the hotel..buttttt...from the next day. So we asked where we wud go..we are new here .....we dont know anyone.....we dont have lottt of money right now.....what the hell!!!....so with lot of pleading by us....( and yes..loads of bad words and abusing from us to the company for free)....but that was just only for us to hear....so anyway..after long time..we got the hotel...and the story had a happy ending like always....but i have sen movies where they write " THE END"..and in some rare ones they write at the end " AND THE STORY CONTINUES" or " THE STORY STARTS NOW"..ours was that kind of story....hmm..interesting......we ( I actually) were/was fu******* for the rest of the days....and it goes like this....( icant write how much i suffered..butt its interesting ok....you would really laugh over me..i was in a condition that i was actually laughing over myself..i was going MADDDDDD............theres a rule........i thought it wasa rule....but now i expect it as a fact.....and the golden rule is
" Anyting that can possibly go wrong WILL go WRONG "...and it DID..really it DID for me.....what alll happened .....i wont forget...boo boo...........blah blah.....haha..hehe.......!!!!
They were actually poviding accomodation for a week n upto tht time we had to find places flats to live....we started that....just think..we had to go to the office..for joining formalities n all....then we had to get back...search for flats.....oooh.....and the traffic here!!! just so fucked up....... .....well ....finally somehow we got a flat...they owners told us that we had go give about 1 lakh for advance 20000 as brokerage ....and 12000 was rent...so that comes to 150000 rs.....and that is a huge sum of money..but actually thers a policy of company wherein the companypays all this..so we arranged that and told that //ok...we will pay for this....through the company.....the owner didnt want to give it that way but somehow in the end he was ready...so after that we went to the company asking for the money..and there...these ppl told us that it will take about a week till the money actually is handeed over to the owner....and that they wont be giving more days to stay in the hotel.....and we had to check out next day...that was just ridiculous.....where would we go then!!! and after that the biggest thing came
........the owner refused to give the flats to us....saying that he would prefer some family to be there...and bachelors create problems!!! Now, what the fuck is that reason!! well..finally day before yesterday we had to check out of the hotel....after that we didnt have abywhere to go....and that particular hotel where we were staying....we asked them to extend our stay.,....and we wud pay it ourselves....they said OK....but they told us we were staying in the executive suite and it would cost us 20000 rupees for a night.......and that meant that we wont be able to stay there....thats a lot of money....so we got out....with our luggage n everything...where to go?? we requested the hotel ppl to keep our luggage till evening....they agreed for that....then we went on to search fo other cheaper hotels nearby...but no....no1 was ready to give them to us...some said that they were full..others looked at me suspiciously...and hey said no..no bachelors.....what the hell!!! i just wanted to punch each one of them in the face
.....so finally it was night and i was already thinking that i will have to spend the time on the footpath....but then one friend just called...he had arranged something for the night..godd!!! that was such a relief..that place was far away...so we three(actualy 2 other colleagues were with me..)..but atleast we had somwehere to stay..so we spent 500 bucks in the taxi..reached there...it was about 9:30 ....so in the flat we were 7 guys together.....now i was very hungry and i asked all to come n have dinner in a nearby restaurant...so then one friend actually asked to get his dinner packed and that he wud stay back...ok. We went and had dinner...got his dinner packed....and came back///it was almost 12..( hey.this is the most interesting part) ..so we came back...them my friend who owned the flat actually came to know that he had left the key inside the room...our friend who had stayed back....he was sleeping....in the last room....deep asleep.....and we were outside...we started to knock...hard....infact we were banging....but he dint got up..then we had another option..to call his mobile and then he wud get up....ok...we tried....and then.....again....his mobile was in the other guys pocket who was with us ....( he had taken it from him to talk to someone n forgot to give it back)......so well...that was like they say.. "nail in the coffin" ..now we just started banging the door hard.....after sometime we saw some security guard coming to us....some ppl had reported thinking that we were some thieves or someone.....well....thank you great peoples.
We just told the guards our position..they understood....but told us to move out of the building....we were disturbing others....so finally...we were on the road.....we sure must have looked like thieves..we were six guys....dressed formally..shirts..pants..black shoes...haha!!! damn....we went to the nearest police station and there was a nice guy there...he told us to sit alongwith a guy who was there in a parking lot. And he told each one of us to get into an auto.( u wont know what an auto is....ita a small silly looking vehicle)....so we spent the night there...mosquitoes n all...that was horrible debby....!! horrible.... .and all the time all six of us were cursing n abusing that idiot sleeping friend of ours.....i have pics of that....i will send them to you......that was an experience..that i will never forget.....They say ne..luck is something....Luck is everything.....in the last few days...anything that can go wrong is actually going wong for me...!!! Its a bad bad very bad phase for me....really. But right now....i am ok..i have a flat..finally.....we rented one....we had to shell out the money fom our pockets..last option..!! i am fixed now....and quite relaxed.......but again...who knows..... when i am get into all this crap again again!!
