Vile parle rooms@350/- per day

I had reached the airport and by now had my checkin done. At That moment i had to enter the plane. My friend calls me that he wouldnot be able to arrange any place for me in mumbai. However, Bewildered myself entered the plane and switched off my mobile so as to follow the air traffic rules. I reached mumbai. collected my luggage. It was less than 20 kg and amounted in 3 no of bags.

I have recently got into feeling that evryone in this world on the road is cheating. proving the same point, the boy at the car and hotel rom booking counter first told me minimum per day charge would be 2250/- but after 5 min when i moved away from there he told within 1300/- he can arrange. I walked further. Another guy from shalimar hotel with a fake name on the board which he was holding in his hand got behind me. I can get you a room in 1200/- i persisted on 800/- he told in mumbai you cant get it. He knew that 7000/- people are going to come within today for CFA exam to be held tomorrow. It was very tough to get him away. I wondered whether less than 500/- rooms are available. I know the auto fellows are prime cheaters who come first to call you on the railway station or airport. I listened to them and left them. moved ahead, the airport premises was not going to end. I found another auto fellow to make me reach andheri. Without knowing that Andheri is one of the costliest place, I asked him to make me reach there. The price of a room within 500/- still seemed to be a distant dream. Finally e took me to a home. I saw the rooms there was bed. there was fan there was light and there was space.It was adjacent to parle railway station and within walking distance good market is there. cost - only 350rs per day.
Can you guess without an attached toilet in that room what else was on offer? Should you stay at these places in a new city unknown to you? Rest about how i spent my two days there is only for those on request.
