Today a friend of mine gave me two onions."It a is a gift for Navroze "he said. "What!!!!"I thought,"What kind of a gift is that."He explained that his father had gone to Nashik's wholesale market.There he got a great deal. 50 kilos of onions for only twelve rupees.He possibly plans to sell them.I wonder!
When I was slipping the two onions into the storage basket,my father caught me and demanded an explanation.He then laughed for two hours.

My Heritage walk
COLABA
Today,I went on a heritage walk in Colaba and Fort.It started off at the Gateway of India. Earlier the gateway was a pagoda like thing , which they turned into a Taj Mahal in 1911 to welcome King George V and Queen Mary which was made out of P O P.Then to commemorate the occasion where Delhi became capital they built the Gateway. Then after talking about the salute battery on middle ground island,we proceeded to the Taj Mahal hotel built in 1903. Did you know that the Taj Mahal hotel is built the wrong way round.. Yes it is! The earlier builder had gone for a holiday leaving the plans to his workers. When he came back he noticed that it was built backwards. Poor chap,he thought he was finished ,he jumped off the dome. Little did he know that he had built one of the best hotels in Mumbai. Anyway, moving on we saw the old premises of the Royal Bombay yacht club meant only for white sahibs, now owned by the atomic energy commission of India. The current premises of the club is the RBYC chambers.Then we saw the Majestic Hotel which is now Sahakari Bhandar and an MLA hostel.

Just got an iPod but it is on the verge of getting confiscated because I wont study(why do I need to???)anything. But the good thing is that I get to do what I like upto 2:30(5:00).
So wish me all the best for the 6th standard.
