Reason to Smile: After having the reactions I have faced from people on the "Budgets" and Leonardo DiCaprio winning the Oscars for the first time, its time I settle down to write on something very minuscule and not that makes "news" to others but me :P Surely, while DiCaprio doesn't want to take the planet for granted, the alcoholic gang with me took it for granted that they get some nice place to chill out on a Sunday evening without any special damages  :P Sula Vineyards -  A beautiful, secluded place at Nasik and about 150 km away from Mumbai had springs of grapes stomping sessions that are used to make fine wines.

The festival also features some events that has several interests of creative minds flowing in for its display for free. Plays, Concerts, Reading, Movie screenings and what not !
