The F's of City Connect

A to Z Challenge - My Theme-  City Connect - my connect with....Aurangabad-Schooling & Junior College / Bombay- Graduation & First job/ Chennai - Marriage & Motherhood


AURANGABAD
Four Eight Eight Four Nine Two - What reads here is a phone number - a Landline number [fixedline number]. Mobile phones had not reached Indian shores. When Landline was a communication lifeline ; remembering important phone numbers became a habit.

BOMBAY
FREIGHT - If you have read my Prompt C it tells you I work for Maritime industry. Shipping professionals breathe in & breathe out the word Freight. When expressed in PER DAY TERMS- it's called HIRE.  When  on roads you "Hire a Cab" ; when in waters- you "Charter a Ship"

CHENNAI
FINDING NEMO- THE BOOK -  Recently we had been to a book fair called"BooksbyWeight". In the process of finding other books- we found - Finding Nemo. My 2.5 year old is super excited with this book. She recognizes the book by its cover & follows the story though pictures. Now I am on a hunt to look out for more animated movies in book form.

  1. I had a smile when I read Freight. HIre vs Charter. We have quite a few airline pilots in our family. I used to tease them if you drive a bus, you are a driver. If you drive a plane, you are a pilot.
