Weekend Fun!!

Had a super lazy weekend ... Felt good to be at home doing nothing for a change ...
well not like totally nothing .. had some fun with colors ... :)


And watched the new movie - Ek mai aur ek tu.

Best part is the movie moves with good pace and is over in less than 2 hours. Not overtly emotional and shows somewhat realistic situations in life for a change. Loosely based on the English flick 'what happens in Vegas', this movie also shows a Vegas wedding in drunken stupor between the lead actors.

Liked watching both Kareena and Imran Khan on screen as individual characters but there is no great on-screen chemistry between them. Overall a good watch for a lazy weekend.

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...
