23rd June 2013 to 30th June 2013


 
Rains have settled down in our part of world bit early. Climate is very excellent, pleasant and romantic. A joke doing rounds is, ‘Barsat, raham kar, itna Romantic na ho. Ham Shadi Sudha Hain!’ But they continue to remain Romantic in our part of the world.
However, these same rains have played havoc in Jharkhand. Looks like, this state is going to face severe challenges in next 3-5 years. Whole tourism is destroyed, with Hotels washed away and Roads swept away.  How many people are buried, drowned no one knows, estimates are in 1000's, I feel it may touch 1 Lakh. TV is announcing the official figures as disclosed by government. Locals will have harrowing time, what with yearly income from tourism washed away, roads destroyed, houses damaged, how they will manage?

On Thursday, Kashyap & Sharat finalized and uploaded Cut-it Studio page on face book. I strongly suggest a critical look of the page. Click on link.


Akshay-Muskan-Ankit-Pallavi are off to Mahableshwar. My Grandfather and father used to never miss an opportunity of Mahableshwar holiday. And now Akshay, the fourth generation is also always ready. I have secret weapon to make Muskan happy, just say and do, ‘Lets go to Fountain Hotel, Mahableshwar!.’ She is supper charged and all smiles, which in turn makes us all happy.

Sant Gyaneshwar and Sant Tukaram palki has reached Pune on Sunday. Palki will travel to Punderpur, along with lakhs of devotees. In India, such kind of activities are in plenty. In North, they call is ‘Kavera’
It is big event in Maharashtra and lots of people are involved in free stay for ‘Warkeris’, their food arrangement etc. All is free and for total strangers, who join the Palki in route! Lot of social organization work along with government, for welfare of the crowds, which keeps growing as it nears Punderpur.

Kanan Gala, Dhwani's cousin stayed with us for few days and left for her Baroda Home on Sunday.  She has completed her Architect Studies and soon will start her practice. A simple girl. Kanan Bala was a great singer of 1950's and its is good name. However, we changed that name to Canon, and asked her to marry Nikkon!
