Reason to Smile :)

Reason to Smile: The movie made its roar in the Marathi film industry with all new faces as very sensitive and challenging characters as their debut. I have only heard about the movie and its feel shot at the backdrop of scenic adventure beautified by Kugav Fort near Solapur. I had seen them too in some of their promos on TV. While it looked exuberantly vibrant and beautiful, it was time to see whether it gives the same impact in real lights too ;) So without a doubt, there are number of nature lovers like me who had the same thought running on their minds. Ironically the place becomes just more popular only because its got highlighted in some movie. Or else Kugaon Fort was always there - just that it got visible to the public eye after 56 years of its existence !! Because all this while it was submerged under the crystal clear waters of River Bhima of Kugaon Village. It has significantly no traces of its charm on the web. So, it was surely not google this time to locate the place....

Reason to Smile: The only thought of sitting at the white water river bank with only peace and serenity as your company could give me goose bumps assuming it only happens in Hindi movies !! :P I always wondered if it could be for real. That music plays to your soul, and that you feel equally romantic and just sway away with mere positivism to rely on ! And then I could never imagine it could all happen to me :) The face glows; The memories are re-visited of the times that were good and funny; The smile is just glued to your face; All at once like a slide show of some presentation.. LOLz !! :D You surely wanna know the one beautiful place. This happened to me at Kasol, Himachal Pradesh (Kullu District). I would though give this a second position (after Ladakh) for its immense natural beauty and warmth that the 'cold' weather offers ;) One can only dream about feeling cold and cozy in this hot summers and here was I all by myself feeling the chills at the banks of Parvati V...

Reason to Smile: The summers arrived and the water scarcity or the save water emblem has been the talk of the town. It is indeed the water shortage that's killing most of the Mumbaikars in town. While some are already applying tried and tested methods to save water, some are uniquely figuring it out how to consume less of it.  And some weird people like me come across friends who found out where natural hot water springs are available around Mumbai suburbs ! I did not know anything about it at all. Infact I was always under the impression that natural hot water springs are situated only near the Himalayas :P The last one I had checked was at Manikaran, Manali. I must admit, I had not liked the way it was maintained :( But this one is near Virar. Vajreshwari Temple is located about 31kms from Virar Station.  There are around twenty-one  hot water springs  in a five-kilometer radius of the temple. According to tradition, the hot water is the blood of demons and ...
