Marriage!!

Had a very busy weekend .. what with relatives and shopping!! :):( .. 
I mean I love shopping but then this is really different. Shadi ki shopping!! Thats what I have been doing past couple of days and belive me its pretty boring. Specially with Mom around, she just loves shopping. In past 2 days I must have seen all varieties of sarees made by mankind. And its really hard to tell the difference. For me, all are just the same. Thankfully its over .. :)  I let mom decide my sarees. Anyways I am damn sure I am never going to wear them once this function is over. So its finally going to be added to her ever growing wardrobe.
But these shopping trips with mom and relatives has left me with all mixed feelings. Its kind of a realisation that I'm about to do something which would be changing certain things permanantly. I know my would be husband since past three years and its not about him. Rather he too is in the same dilema as me. Because as far as I've seen lives do change a lot after the M thing and we both seem to be very comfortable with life which is there as of now. But then you have to do certain things and so am I. But no matter how well you know each other; no matter how comfortable you are in each others company, we are now going to share our lives with each other's families as well. I'll be leaving my roomies, my flat which I've been sharing with them for last 2 years and lot of memories!! ... Eventhough I'll still be coming to same ofice, still be going out with same people, still be calling home every 2 days ... things are definately going to change ...
and although I love changes ....this  M thing leaves you a bit nervous

Tarkarli - Visit Guide

Image
I had collected this information from various reviews on the internet. Added finer details after I actually visited the place in Oct 2010. How to Reach : Tarkarli is 5 kms from Malvan. Route 1 – Pune – Kolhapur - via Radhanagari ghat – Malvan - Tarkarli Picturesque route, radhanagari dam backwaters on the way. Road is deserted and lonely but entirely through forest area and very scenic. Risky if traveling at evening/night time as there is no help nearby in case of any kind of emergencies. Not much traffic Route 2 – Pune – Kolhapur -  via Gaganbawda ghat – Malvan - Tarkarli More traffic compared to radhanagari route. Goes through several small villages on the way hence not too risky but less beautiful compared to radhanagari. We were able to visit ‘gul’ (jaggery) making outlets on this way and were able to see the complete process, eat the fresh prepared gul and buy some as well. What to do : Beach : Tarkarli beach Nearby beaches like devbag beach and chivla beach. Boat ri...

Mahabaleshwar in rains!! ...

Image
Mahabaleshwar is a beautiful hill station in western Maharashtra about 120Kms from Pune. It can be visited almost round the year as it is popular in summers because of it's cool weather and popular in winters because of strawberries which grow in abundance in the nearby areas. We visited Mahabaleshwar in July 2012 and although it was raining, the place did not disappoint us. Soon as you enter panchgani, you are almost travelling through clouds. And they remain all the time in Mahabaleshwar. The Pasarani ghats which end in panchgani when you are travelling from Pune are amazingly beautiful and more so in the rains with seasonal waterfalls around. We started from Pune after a nice breakfast on a Sunday morning. Although the city and plains were dry, it started raining soon as we entered the hilly ghat area around. The road from Pune was really in a mint good condition which was a pleasant surprise given the usual state of roads here. Panchgani is like a twin hill station whic...
