Mahabaleshwar .. jaana hai yaar kabhiu nahi gaya ... Atleast that was the intent but due the lack off & my un tidy schedule Hum log plan change kiya ,, we ended going to Petron resort in Nagaothane .. No regrets nice place .. the resort has excellent service ..

We started at 6.30 from dadar but were stalled bcoz of a frantic Manish in Vashi until midnight or so as we waited for hime & polishing a few antiquities..

Found a place to Eat at Vadhkal at 2.00am .. we were lucky. thats Me & Manish

Ooga figuring his cards outwhile Maniche's Ghost Lingers

The one on the Left was our Shack .. Airconditioned .. That was a blisss

on Our Way to Get BEERRss .. hey why shld a Mild beer be more expensive than a strong beer

Excellent .. a game of Cricket .. we had a blast working out some sweat both afternoon we played plenty of games of cricket .. what makes it interesting (ofcourse the beer ..) is that we played Cricket on a Tennis Court !!??

Uran - Mumbai

2006-03-13T03:34:00.000-08:00

Saturday Match 11 on the eve of Mumbai 13th anniversary of trauma & still being under threat of being bombeb in the city .... life was pretty routine in and around here.. Mumbai is a fearless city , Me & Uga went to Uran -

The route for me - Dahisar - > Dadar - > picked up Uga at Conty's pump - > Bhaucha Dhakka (Ferry Wharf) -> Boat to Uran -> rickshaw to the Uga's site .. the same arrows if you read back wards will bring me back home .. Hehehe

For Uga this travel had become no big deal as he was going there 4-5 times a week.

Theres a construction job of a Bungalow which Uga was given the finishing responsiblities of, is the site we went to.

i was wondering what that place would be like. it was great massive house, A driveway, stilt parking, lobby , HALL , dining area kitchen , Five bedrooms (5 terraces), Every room in the house has a view os the pond accross the street.

This place is 3 storeys High..

Ride to Goa

2006-03-07T04:26:00.000-08:00

Eversince i learnt to ride a motorcycle, i wanted to ride to Goa.

For the most awesome time through the west coast though Maharashtra to Goa.
i left mumbai from Dadar station at 6.00 21st november 2005 to reach Baga at 6.15pm the same day.

Twelve fantastic hours on the Levitater.
My first long ride ever.
Riding alone for that distance was going to be boring i thought. what if i crash and things like crossed my mind at first but then i left any ways. Trouble free thank god for that.

Mumbai - Panvel - Wadkhal - Pen - Poladpur -Ratnigiri - Sawantwadi - Kudal - GOA..

all these places i mentioned is where i took halts. some for the view .. some for the bladder..

i did not eat , i skipped breakfast , lunch the only thing i wanted to do was RIDE .. & was listening to amazing music , Lenny Kravitz.. said to me .. i want to get away (II ) .. I want to Fly away ..

Above is the gang, from L to R Sushil , Bernard, Kartik, Aditya.. there were more of us but this is the picture i have.. this is mapucca market , after lunch, we bought loads of alcohol here to take home. I bought only a bottle as i was on the bike. Teachers was for 675/- :))

This is a view from the Chapora Fort.. what place Goa is .. i think , i ve been there about 5 times spend a week each time, all the visits in Goa ive stayed at new places.. i just cant get enough of that place..

I happened to be in Goa when the Film festival was on ... Mandovi Riverside streer was full of street performers the new opened Inox was fully decorated
