Being a Mumbaikar since birth, one thing which runs in my blood is how to utilise time while travel. When I was single, I used to do the first time reading of all the theory subjects during the one hour travel time in train between Borivali and Churchgate.
Later on, when I had children, following the same principle, I used to carry all kinds of cassettes like nursery rhymes, daily slokas, daily prayers, fairy tale stories, ramayana cassettes, sholay dialogue cassettes etc. These cassettes were then played in our car stereo while we used to travel between Goregaon (in-laws) and Navi Mumbai (our residence), which was nearly two hours journey - one way. In due course, my children were aware and adept in story/ slokas recital and dialogue delivery in school competitions and plays. We, as parents, had never sat down to tutor them for anything in their school days.
Lately, too, while I was pursuing studies of Law, I used the hour long travel time between Kharghar and CST to go through the books for the first reading and marking, so that later on I could make notes out of them.
Mumbai local ki Jai Ho!
