Matheran :)


Reason to Smile: Movie - the Independence Day Resurgence - much like a science fiction movie that it is, I felt it was long and too many characters only made it fun if a child within you find its exciting to see those weird strategies they try to make to kill the Queen ;)

And then.. Imagine a facebook post reading "enjoying at Matheran" feeling wet :P Thats what we heard from some boys who joked about it at Charlotte Lake, Matheran ;)

The Rains, The fog, The fog or the foggy rains - it was all just that at Matheran :P

Poonam, Me, Richa and Rashmi stepped out on a sunday morning to explore the rains at Matheran. For me it must have been the 18th trip there :p So the official guide that I was to the others, I was also the Lady Big Boss of the gang :P The Sethani as they called me, the rest were named Naukranis :P who were only allowed to follow me - literally :P ;) (They were new to the place)

A few of the funniest comments that we must have made and enjoyed during the trip are as follows:

- This goes for Rashmi who has the longest of the hairs (they just don't seem to end) and the good looking of the lot (almost our Sunny Leone) was the Leela of the gang. So Poonam and Richa being so awed by her beauty, almost being possessive about it, could not tolerate any passer by looking at Rashmi. Hence if that happened, they used the term (ofcourse with great Khunnas) - "Leela Hamari Hai" :P

- Lunch time: We were disappointed that it wasn't raining much but was extremely foggy. The weather was cold and hence a warm soup would only make it awesome. While the vegetarains wanted to have Manchow soup and the non veg wanted to have Chicken soup, Richa took the lead to order. What she says is hilarious - "Bhaiya one Manchow soup 2 by 2 and one chicken soup 2 by 2" LOL ! Now that's the height of being a Mumbaikar when all that she meant was a so called one by two soup :P ;) :D

- The discussion on the table doesn't usually end before we discuss what all we face as experiences on facebook :P So this time, it was Poonam for some gyaan and what she gave in was - "You can block anyone on facebook. I blocked my Dad"  LOL :D This sounded as if some stand up comic said it at the right time ! The timing was just perfect for a hearty laugh ;)

The entire time we had so much to laugh on, that the only thing we missed out was literally ROFL (Rolling on the floor laughing) in its actual sense :P

We first explore Garbett Point and on our return we met some TMI guys - We just halted only to catch up with Nishank. A few words and a selfie, we started off for Echo point and Charlotte Lake. Apparently we were warned by him to be careful of the snakes he spotted but we didnt :P But yes by the time we finished our lunch it was all raining cats and dogs for us to regret not tasting Maggie :P

Echo point as the name suggests is a place where you shout and wait for the echo to return. With Richa's shout attempt, we really did not have the sound return but yes some fellow folks surely ran away from the area :P We then checked out Charlotte Lake that also only had fogs and pours to our display. We still had an hour to then take the train back to Mumbai so we moved.

The market place offered us Maggie and some nice tea for a breather because that's when we were getting to feel our knees and legs telling us to take a break :P

While Richa specialized in the jumping around, the two calm women - Me and Rashmi were busy shooting her madness. Poonam was the one background music to us - her laughter is no less than music to our ears ;)
Sonali - We missed you, Next time please hire a private cab to the nearest railway station so that you can board the train and you don't miss the fun with us :P

So you see, it is just awesome madness at Matheran which looks extremely beautiful with some waterfalls as scenic views, fogs and rains to enjoy and a few wild but crazy people as your guiding company :)

Some pics on FB :) Keep Smiling :)

Offbeat Goa :)

Reason to Smile : The joblessness no matter how critical it may seem doesn't affect my travel life. There is nothing more that I can love about that. This time I got another chance to visit Goa. I was fortunate enough to explore those parts of Goa that I had not visited. I was there for a week and let me try and list them for my memories. Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary  is located in South Eastern  Goa.   It constitutes one of the vital corridors of the  Western Ghats  and covers an area of 211.05 km.  Netravali or Neturli is an important tributary of  River Zuari , which originates in the sanctuary. Forests mostly consist of moist deciduous vegetation interspersed with evergreen and semi-evergreen habitat. It is adjacent to  Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve , Karnataka on the eastern side,  Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary , Goa on the southern side and  Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park  on the northern sid...

Honnavar :)

Image
Reason to Smile: The lush green views, the rice and wheat plantations, the foggy mountains, the wet silver curvy roads and we 3 girls on a road trip. It all begins with this thought and check where we land up :) Honnavar - One small city in Karnataka, very close to Kumta, Gokarna, Murudeshwara Temple and many more such popular places. We headed straight to Madhu's native where her uncle lived. Her Mamaji, as we all affectionately called him, greeted us and was very strict about maintaining the schedule of our trip, for he was our official guide to take us to umpteen places around for sight seeing. Honnavar is a place not many people know about. We succumbed to a feeling that it was a good monsoon time to explore something unusual, less popular, and less commercial :) Day 1: So our first stop was a drive to Mirjan Fort. A huge fort located towards the South of Gokarna, about 30 kms from Honnavar is a fort that attracts visitors with its majestic looks.  As one enters the fo...

Kugaon Fort + Palasdeo Temple :)

Image
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....
