Sinhgad 2009



Nandni
& Kunal Nanda, our family's new member, Muskan Akshay Dodeja's brother and sister had come for overnight stay. 26th being republic day holiday, we decided to have early morning picnic at sinhgad fort. It being an before sunrise outing, many dropped. But Akshay - Muskan - Kashyap - Myself - Sharat - Nandani - Kunal and Ramu, all made up a good company.
Early morning drive was pleasant, fast and smooth. Van and Ramu's Karisma bike.


Reached before sunrise, and watched with awe, sun coming out gently from the womb of the earth, slowly, throwing its glow and warmth all around, bathing everything in its beauty. As it made its journey to heavens, birds welcomed it with its chatter, trees swayed, swished and we all marvelled at natures beauty.

Clicked plenty of photographs. Our new bahu gets very much excited in front of the camera. Also I had all other young good looking boys and girls ready to pose. So it was click time and fun time. After plenty of focusing and shooting, we took tea, had local food as lunch.

Normally it is very excellent, this time I found food, dull and not attractive. Why? No inkling. By 1.0 pm we were all tired. So trekked back to our vehicles. As we walked down, we acknowledged our wisdom of coming early. The parking lot, entrance, the whole place was crowded and jam packed! We thanked our stars and returned with pleasant memories.

Sinhgad in Monsoon



On 22nd June, the monsoon had send feelers that it is on its way. The sky was pregnant with heavy clouds, wind was sweeping and dancing around. With nature being so 'Meherban', few of us decided to skip cozy sleep in early Sunday morning and go for 'Sinhgadh' trek. Our first trek of this monsoon.
This place is for Punities a great de-stressing center. The 40 minitues drive and you are literally high in clouds. As you move from one corner to other, the gentle wind suddenly caresses your hair and brings a stupid smile on your face for no reason at all.
Luckily you have no choice of food. Eat 'Kanda Bhaji' and local dish of 'Bakri Roti', curd in mud-cup and Dal. No options, and believe me, it is worth five star hotel rates, but at Rs:5/- per roti, it is heavenly food and at super-heavenly rates.
Sprinkling of Rain - Kanda Baji - Bakri Roti - Zooming Fog - Gentle wind - screeching wind - Panormic views - cool cold.
Wow, what more can you ask?
