Wed: Recently Lali
and Myself have logged few hundred kilo meters run in Xylo, roaming around
Pune, exploring the hinterland and unexplored shyadari mountains, selling land
chunks to Xrbia & Landson. I have a view that one has to go to Himalyas
to enjoy greenery and heavy jungle atmosphere. But I am wrong. After monsoon,
our nearby mountain range is flush with vibrant greenery, heavy fogs, waterfalls and deep jungles. And maybe animals deep inside the Jungle. Three areas which we have
explored recently are Back Waters of Mulshi Damn, Pen – Karjat Area, Tawve – Vadgaon
area. Each one of them is filled with
natural beauty, so soothing and calming. Soon I am going to tick one of items on my Bucket List. Take Enfield and Tiffin along with camera, and just wander. An
excellent day out in natures lap is assured along with good possibility of Adventure. And yes, if someone who understands animal is along, he/she can make this trip enchanting and unforgettable.
Fri: Mobile Mania is growing day by day, and reaching new heights. Recently Apple once again made history during launching of iPhone 6. The kind of options
and varieties in market are mind boggling. Just 2 days back, three different
e-business sites had put front page advertisement for similar cells with same range of price. I am
told that one company in USA is selling phones by sending invites! No invite,
no buy! Every day, Times pushes more mobile models then anything else. And if one goes through the pain of deep research, like Kashyap does, cell similar in features to iPhone 6 can be had at one third of its prices, with Apple Tag.
Sat: Muskan was with
me, at 5.15 pm. Both of us were walking down towards Sacred Heart. She felt in the air, there is feeling of the arrival of
Diwali, and accordingly made her comment.
But, I remarked, all around us the scene was same, as in routine. Varsha Bhel was
doing usual brisk business, all fruit vendors have lined up with Apples and
Banana, with two Veges vendors, evening was pleasant with sun setting to our right side. Shops have not
started putting extra lights on display. Why this feeling? Muskan enlightened
me. She said, in morning we had planned to dispose off unwanted material, then ‘Mata
Darshan’ discussion was done. And in office, leaking wall was scraped for touch
up. All this cleaning, 'mandir' visit etc is giving us feeling of Diwali arrival.
Anyone willing to challenge this logic? I fully agree with her.
Dad used to have this insecurity during Diwali. He had fear that Diwali brings more pain for him than pleasure. Because of this unproved fear he never enjoyed Diwali Festivity, fully. He agreed that it was unfounded fear, but still it was always there. Dhwani, any comment?
Sun: Avi & Family, Mummy, Akshay & Muskan are
visiting ‘Vashnavi Devi Mandir’ at Pimpri. Muskan had made this a tradition.
Every year she visits this 'mandir' with Akshay during Navratra’s. Why people
develop such tradition? Year after year they continue this process, lasting for
decades. Though in Lokram Dodeja and his family [exception being Prahlad Uncle] does not have such compulsion, but
lot of people around us have. Few examples are:
One of My Massi Bindravan
every Janmashtimi for decades
Visnhu Munyal Shree Paramanand Bhandar Kankhal Haridwar for 5 decades!
Madon Dodeja Lunch
every year on Ganesh Chaturthi for last few decades!
