11th july last year all flat mates were at G7 cinema in bandra to see 'corporate'. the tickets had been bought and we were about to enter the hall in some 10 minutes and thats when we heard the cracker like sound.
G7 is right next to the suburban train tracks, people climbing up the wall to check out wat was wrong couldnt figure alot, but could see a train stopped in is tracks some distance ahead.
It really did take about 5 minutes for everybody around to figure, that it was something serious. and thats when our cellphones started ringing. Frantic relatives from all over were calling to know our whereabouts and thats when we thought it was a nice idea to leave for home immediately. At least that was the safest place we knew at any given point in time. and no sooner, all of SV road was getting packed and it was only my super bike that could navigate the distance to irla in abt 35 minutes in those conditions.
It was one harrowing time. But i also did come across instances of ppl offering help to complete strangers. like offering a ride, offering a glasses of water to those who chose to walk home.
