Its been a while that i am crossing the z-bridge(as it is called) to reach my office. The z-bridge, rumoured as unsafe by quite a lot of people ever since my office shifted to matunga road(Thanks to my colleagues who have never made me feel the bridge unsafe). So the bridge is one of the longest bridge i have ever come across, maybe bcuz the sunrays directly fall on the bridge at any point of time till its night which makes me dizzy and tired. Everytime i cross the bridge a single thought crosses my mind," when will i reach the other end of it".
The bridge is built at the Matunga Station. The bridge starts from Matunga station till it reaches Tulsi pipe road also known as Tulsi pipe line.The bridge goes alongside the Railway workshop and so covers a number of tracks below. It rather looks like a rectangular 'Z' shaped box with the tops off. It looks like the rectangular boxes put together at certain points.
Now how does Nine and three quarters relate to the z-bridge???
Today on my way to office, while crossing the bridge, i just remembered the platform nine and three quarters. Thats the platform from where Harry Potter boards the train to Hogwarts. I somehow felt that both the platform and bridge are related. And it takes me long 15mins to cross that bridge, which suddenly made me think if there was some nine and three quarters bridge that would directly get me to the Tulsi pipe road or at the circle thats just a minute from my office.
Harrypotter series have made such a great impact on me, i sometimes feel bad that i am born as a muggle or maybe i havent yet realesed what my magical powers are or may be i am half blood. Although i realize that the muggle world and the magical world have their own pros and cons.
I never knew stories could make such a big impact on lives. I really wish if i had studied at hogwarts, was a good friend of harry potter, help him fight "The one who must not be named" etc etc. Aah! is it really possible?
