Milan


Milan, first thing that comes to my mind when i hear the word Milan is dangerous(not that fanciful dangerous of MK but really really dangerous). I reached there at night around 10:40 and as in other places I expected some of light in the town, some beautiful gals roaming around, well with their boyfriends of course and bars and trams going around the places in the town but to my shock there were none and I had not realized that this is the dead end I will have to just wait for the morning to come and have some people around here to see. Well I also didn't know that Milan has its mafia on the news all round the year and all across the planet so I landed there with no preparation whatsoever. I was tired and was dressed in a way that I look like a easy target for anybody to get a absolutely wrong impression, and due to that impression a hotel manager asked me that if I wanted a suite of only 60 euros, well I would have told you the Indian ruppe conversion but by this time I have learnt that I will not see anything by converting it to Indian currency. So I rejected that person, who was constantly trying to make a deal saying all the amiable words that he can remember in English, and assuring me that this is the safest place and he is making me The Best Deal whatsoever. I rejected him politely. Well after roaming here and there I finally accepted my defeat to get a good accommodation and of course cheap and settled down in the waiting room provided by the government, thank god Milan has one otherwise ti is difficult to find such familiar looking places in Europe. Well to my surprise or rather I should say my shock that I saw most of the white people on one side and all the black people on the other side of that big hall. well this is not a war scene but it was a kind of cold war I guess. I sat down in the middle, not to do any settlement or anything, not because it requires qurbaani and all the bloodshed but because it simply could not be done. So I finally sat down and was sure that this night is going to be some awful night of my life. And just after some time I was proved right, some people gave somebody some drink and then after he was asleep started to rob him. Some people were playing football in that small place shouting and that too in some weird language that we usually here from criminals here. I sat down with my awful novel NEXT, I think I have already said that, so whoever is interested in Novels please don't buy NEXT, it is awful crap. Well coming back to the story of my survival, I was feeling very dizzy and was every now and then dozing off. Suddenly i heard a thick voice in front of me the guy asked "Do you have ....(I didn't get it but by his expressions I figured he was asking for something to light up his life, i mean cigarette)?" I said no in the similar fashion just the sign language. He took off and the whole night some people were coming and going shouting some taking care of each other. A guy also came to sleep beside me but luckily went away quickly. I then changed my sea now more nearer to white people and I don't remember when I got asleep in that wooden bench, where only a very people can get asleep, but all the tiredness helped me get it finally. Now the time was passing by a but quickly and I saw the first rays of the morning, well may be my few of it as till I woke up morning rays have been long gone. Now there were more people around more hustle bustle ad I sat down just liek that in the town.
