Let me take the liberty of saying that my weekend began on Friday, which was indeed one of the longest days this week.
Friday got me wandering into town in public transport. Began this journey by standing in a long queue for train tickets. Caught the Churchgate fast to get to Marine Lines.
I wanted to stop [...]
