As usual woke up late and catched the train on the last moment. Reached Thane at 11 so came to granny's house unloaded my bag , got the phone charged and again had a bath ate the khichidi which was made specially for me. And moved on for the college. When I reached college it was very difficult to predict on which floor the lec. Was going to happen as no receptionist knew it. So I went on the eight floor where the introduction day was held and on lobby I got to know two friends one was local and other from Dombivili. And as everyone started entering we got to know each other by shaking hands and sharing names. And as the time was up everyone entered the classroom. Had a project work lecture but a few points were remaining over from the last introduction day's lecture so they were discussed. All facts about the real life events About the payments the facilities, the risks and everything that we had to follow on events. The lecture schedule for a month was given. Later getting divided into groups we were given various project topics. An event on National and International Festival was what we got. Unluckily we all were boys and as a networking medium we exchanged our contacts. And the lecture was over. Then while going I had a friend whom I met in the lobby and who was also in project group. With his help I came to know two more boys who were with him from Dombivili. And three girls one who stayed in Malad itself and other two girls who accompanied us towards station. As their stations were on the same Western line they got the train from yhe 1st platform itself. But we boys had to change the platform and get a train to Dadar then using the over bridge get down at Central line and catch train that would take us to our destinations. We all lived on the major stations so every fast or slow train stopped on our destination. In the huge crowd it was difficult to get in the train.But we all adjusted although one of our friend got in the separate compartment but was on board. And when my time came to get down waving goodbye I got down from a running train I.e before it stopped. Yes this happens in India if you don't get down they push you down so it's better to get down safely on your own legs. And again there was a huge queue for the auto which would take me home. Finally my number came got in and reached home.It took merely 2 hours to reach home from college. Had some food and went asleep. Wanted to hangout on whatsapp but there was no range for Idea network at granny's home so slept early.

The Induction Day (3rd August 2014)
As usual got up late in the morning and getting ready on time with everything in a messy way I told my brother to iron my shirt till I had a bath. Till then Pratik a friend of mine was there to collect the pendrive which contained the pictures of the yesterdays picnic. We had a breakfast and he dropped me at station. Getting a ticket I got the train and luckily a upper seat on which I slept the whole journey. I got down at Thane with a sharing auto got home I.e Granny's house unpacked my bag got two notebooks, the KYS form and the Cheque and set on the journey to college from Thane to Dadar. At Dadar I had a Masala dosa then went to get a ticket but there was a huge queue. Getting the ticket got in the train, but the train was also against me it got red signal twice and halted at a station twice and I was late. As soon as I got down I searched for a auto but the autowalas also rejected. Finally got a sharing auto and reached college but there was nothing special a man was telling about the event industries. Then we had introduction. A pair of two introduced each other and unluckily I was alone, I went up the stage alone and gave my introduction, and everyone was looking for my partner so I said that I was Single and everyone started laughing. In all the crowd I found one guy who was with me in Engineering at Sinhgad Institutes. Lucky enough I didn't knew his name but knew him by facial recognization. The function ended and it was announced that the classes will start on 7th August. I got up and moved up as I had decided to get back home at Talegaon. Luckily got a seat and reached home.
The Orientation Day (29th July 2014)
I had a received a mail that we had a Orientation Day on 29th July 2014 at Bhaidas Hall, Vile Parle. So from Pune travelled down to Mumbai. Got down at Dadar and at the same place where I had my bath on the admission day I got refreshed. Then had a masala dosa from the road side food stall. From there I moved to Vile Parle where the Orientation Day was. It was nearly 1'o clock so I preferred sitting on the benches of skywalk and enjoying the crowd going here and there. Till then someone asked me the same address where I was supposed to go. I asked him whether he was going to the NAEMD's program and he said yes. I got a company and while talking I came to know that he had applied for the Masters program. As we reached the hall I saw many faces which I was staring while sitting at skywalk. The program started they took signature on the sheet in front of our names which gave us our college bags and a KYS form (Know Your Student).
The function started a person named Danny Demello Director of London Institute of Corporate Training. The lec. Was not much interesting then it was followed by Rashmi Sehgal an wedding planner and then by Vikrant Hinge from Headrush, his lecture was quite interesting. Then as the program ended we got a snacks of 2 wadas and from there I got to C.S.T. Actually I had ticket upto Dadar but as i got a direct train to C.S.T. I didn't bother to get the ticket. Thank God no one caught me. I got the ticket back to Talegaon, Pune as the college was scheduled on 3rd August. Then I wandered the streets had a Panipuri and a Dabeli and saw a interesting shop of mobile covers so I got one cover and a toughened glass screen guard for my new cell. Which costed 410Rs. it was costly but many a times I don't care while spending but now I am feeling bad. Then wandering back I came to the station. On the free charging point I plugged my phone and was playing Teen Patti and a Sardar came asking me to remove my phone so that he could charge his phone. I told him I had just plugged my phone please ask someone else to get the phone unplugged we had a little fight but then the next person removed his phone and the sardar got a empty point to charge his phone. Now the trains timing was near so I removed my phone and went to catch the train. Searched for the charging socket and got a point in the sleeper class coach. I had a general class ticket but managed getting into it. Reached home at 1 a.m everyone was sleeping so without disturbing changed my clothes and got the blankets and other things. With a low volume on television prepared a Maggi and enjoyed it. And got in the bed.
The Admission Day (14&15th May)
As Mom was having night shift I had planned a nightout at my home. We enjoyed a lot by playing Teen Patti and we slept by 4a.m in the morning. And when we woke up it was 8a.m and I had a Train to catch at 8.30. I dropped my friends and got ready and got the train at last moment. Continued with my sleep in the train. A friend was waiting for me at Dadar. When I reached there I took a bath in the public bathroom and got refreshed there. I didn't had any good clothes to wear. So I had told my friend to bring one of my shirt which was with him. But it was also not good enough but there was no option. We had some idli chutney outside the station. From there went to Malad where the college was. Had a talk with the receptionist. I got the admission form and was told to pay 29000 as the first installment. I told them I was going to sponsor the fees myself so I can't pay the whole amount of first installment. So she suggested me to write a mail and forward to college where the authorities would decide and I would get the admission. From there we went to Andheri at Livewires as I was transferring my admission from Pune to Mumbai. They told that as you have paid 15000 you will have to pay the next 40000 at once. Getting this done we went to another college which my friend wanted to join. After the work was done we had a lot of street food which included chinese bhel, panipuri, bhelpuri, dabeli and everything. From there we went to Dadar and then to C.S.T. There we enjoyed the samosa and a custard at a Irani hotel. And returned home. I went to granny's home as I had to ask for the money from dad. Dad agreed and he gave me the full amount of the first installment. I was happy. The next day with the same clothes got a passport size photo printed and got the Admission in the college and I was welcomed into the NAEMD's family. And from there I returned home I.e at Pune.
