The Weekend Trail

Music: To be with you - Mr Big This weekend I got up early and was quick to decide to go for a trip to Mahabaleshwer. It surely was one pending for a while. Well I did go there, all packed up. The journey was amazing with beautiful winding roads, lush green fields around with quite a few waterfalls. This is what Shayadri Range is famous for. On the way there's a small town 'Panchgani', famous for its boarding schools and well yes this town does have lots of boarding schools all around. Reached the serene and beautiful town of Mahabaleshwer well in time to take it all on my foot but it rained and it just rained. The worst was yet to come. I couldn't get any accommodation in hotels there as they all refused to let in any single occupancy. WTF. The reason given was as absurd as this incident. came back the same night. I just don't know where are we heading towards..... Next time would plan well in advance. Catch some of the pics here

The Journey

Music: Hard to Handle - The Black Crows Back from a journey from the land of my childhood and a place where I've spent a quarter of a century - Delhi. Met all my pals except few. Well too much restrain in life, sometimes. Here are some of the pics. Ammu's happily married, about as settled as settled is. Happily doubling in size everytime I see him. Would have loved to spent more time with him. Gary was the busiest of the lot. Though always trying to sneak in few hours for our chit chat and a had a great weekend trip with him. Anki claims she's bored but she's very happy and as pretty as ever. Going to change her job soon and pretty excited about it too.. Mamta, One of the oldest pal.... always bubbling n smiling. I disturbed her at the wee hours but always found her smiling. She's always ready to be on your side, anytime you need. Was happy to hear Puneet getting married. Thts the way to go dude. Praveen. He's always been an inspiration, be it anything; Studies,...

4 more days....

Music: Nothing 11 days in Delhi.....1700 Kms of driving. Weight up by 3 kgs, thanks to the people responsible(Pun intended). Could not sleep last night, something that happened few months back kept me awake. Finally it was 5 in the morning. Went to a place I always wanted to go with her. Beautiful Hymes of Ek Omkar prayer spell bounded me. Though it was just my second visit to Gudwara Bangla Saheb in my 25 years of stay in delhi, I promised myself to go there more regularly. Met Guruji too...... He was shell shocked to see me, well actually shocked to see the long strands :) and he loved it too. The cyber cafes here are pain now....... the page keeps on getting refereshed automatically and I cannot take this anymore. Blah. They don't allow you to upload pictures from cam too. :( I would be flying back to Pune on 16th Aug..... Hope to meet the rest in these 4 days :)
