What is the biggest misconception people have about life?
There are many ways that we all think / believe our lives are supposed to be at certain points of it, and failing to recognize these goals, people's fantasies about who/what they are / supposed to be cause a confusion that leads to common conclusions, which can be misconceptions, or beliefs about the truth of what life is that are incorrect. To call someone's philosophical opinions about the purpose of life is an extreme arrogance, yet here on quora we are allowed such luxuries.

Taking the New Bhakti Park-Dockyard Eastern Expressway
I tried the recently opened Eastern Freeway in Mumbai to get to office today, and ended up covering the first 10 km in less than 10 minutes. The remaining 8 km took over 20 min, thus taking the same amount of time to get to office (Cadbury House) as my usual route via Lalbagh. The taxi fare came to Rs 225 vs the usual Rs 175.
The entry\exit for both the flyovers is at the end of Bhakti Park, behind the Odyessey building. Here’s the route in detail (from Bhakti Park to Mahalaxmi Temple) captured via the My Tracks Android app synced to Google Drive.
Not going to change my regular route for this, but it is definitely a quick way to get to CST or Colaba. This possibly makes CST closer to Bhakti Park, Chembur & Vashi (via the extended expressway) than Dadar in terms of the time taken. CST should take 15-20 min at most via this route from Bhakti Park & Chembur.

The 3 Decade Club
I crossed 30 last month, and that reminds me of the 30 plus ads featuring Jeetandra. Looks like the brand has been relaunched and positioned quite differently.
