The portkey…

If you are a fan of Harry Potter and his adventures in Hogwarts, then you could enjoy a vicarious experience by travelling in Mumbai…

Imagine holding onto a dirty shoe or a broken cup and getting transported to the place you desire … A similar experience happened to me .. Here I was (unstucking myself from the corner) at Andheri station boarding a suburban train to Dadar.. the interesting part of traveling in a mumbai suburban train is that you dont need to worry about getting into the train or out of it ..it just happens …

All you have to do is to catch hold of one of the many portkeys tagged to the cielings and gently whisper the name of the destination .. swoosh… in a matter of minutes you get there .. dont worry about missing the spot or getting off early.. the portkey and the whisper takes of care it perfectly…magical eh ? no brooms no wands ! just your portkey ..

if you dont get a portkey immediately…dont worry..unlike the miserly ministry of magic, the mst authorities have been slightly more benevolent in providing more portkeys.. but keep whispering though …

Landing using a portkey might be slightly rough.. so dont be upset when you dont exactly land on your feet when you let go of this portkey..mebbe you might end up getting a scar on your forehead.. but hey! you are the one who wanted the experience !

If living in Hogwarts and fighting the dragons is wizardry, then travelling in MST is nothing short of magic and witchcraft, that mumbai muggles do day in and day out !
