Alibagh: They say you don't need any planning when you have a like minded group.. :) That's what happened on Sunday morning when we were off to Alibagh; 140 km from Pune!!!
With a brief stopover for B'fast which include Tea & Vada pav, the first inline was the fort: Murud-Janjira that remained undefeated despite repeated attacks!!! Access to Fort is through boat, which seems to be rock solid till now & the aerial view is awesome :)
Next in line was Kashid Beach ,30 km away from Alibagh, this beach is possibly one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches with almost 'white' sand. Played in low tide waves & sand, enjoyed the horse cart ride and watched the sun go down ...:)
Finally closed the trip with a quick dinner at Punjabi dhaba..Memorable trip.. hats off to new group!!
Chokhi Dhani:The resort turned in to a village depicts the true Rajasthani culture !!! Located in Pune, it is ideal for hosting Project parties & family get together :)
It offers a host of activities: Camel & horse rides for kids , mendhi & tatoo for youngsters , art & craft, magic shows & host of other games :) One can get in to true mode & become a Rajasthani by dressing up in the traditional dresses !!!
The best part is the authentic Rajasthani royal cuisine which boasts of a vast array of savouries and sun-dried snacks. Be it dal baati and churma or missi roti , one always ends up licking their fingers!!!
Another trip to New York of India: Mumbai!!!.This time it was business cum pleasure trip; Business of getting US VISA stamped & pleasure of:
- Celebration: My friend's B'day, Anupam alias Dada, who has been my school mate, college & NY flat mate too.:)

Being in Pune brings a host of opportunities to see b'ful places around :) Here I am: Lonavala, where nature is present in all its splendor !!! Just 64 Km from Pune, it comes to life during the monsoon season as the countryside turns lush green with waterfalls.
Water from Bhushi Dam overflows from the staircase like structure. There are spots like Tiger Leap, Duke's Nose which give amazing view of the place :)
A must visit place for people visiting Pune & bite a sweet Chiki..!!!
