Life and me

Maharashtra's Religious & Historic tour to Shirdi and Ellora Caves spread over 2 days. We(roomies) always wanted to go for a long trip on our Zen for quite some time. :) Sometimes we planned for Nanded, sometimes "The Great Konkan Beach" circuit but nothing was happening till yet. Finally, the plan to Shirdi was executed with Ajay, Navdeep(baba) and Sid G. :) Plan : Day 1 Start Early, Drive from Pune to Shirdi, Darshan and proceed to Ellora. Spend night at a hotel/lodge near the caves. Day 2: Morning darshan at Grishneshwar Temple, Verul. Visit Ellora Caves, end by 2pm. Proceed to Aurangabad for "Bibi ka maqbara" and Panchaki. On the way back, visit "Shani Shignapur". Drive back to Pune by 9pm. We mostly did "stick" to the plan. As always, we could never start early. :) All Ready We were on road by 9am and reached Shirdi by 2pm battling bad roads and unexpected rain. We went thro' Ahmednagar. There is a d

Ah! He hits me again and he hits do hard, do deep in the heart. Dildaryian, Hanju and what else and now a new one : Diary. Dairy Dil Di Faroli… Mera Naam Labb Jaaye Khorey Kise Panne Utte… It takes me back once again to the places only my subconscious knows of. Pyar deya raahan te kinne meel turey si... Jithe maani si oh neem wali chaa labh jaye Kithe mere naal khwaab jode, kithe todd te. Jithe bhul jayi keha si...oh thaan labh jaye..

Surely, you'll find many good blogs about trekking to the majestic falls. We visited on weekend of 26th July 2014 and had a great time. Water Level : Very good, Split and merge, multi-tiered. Rains : Yes, good monsoon in Goa. Road Conditions Pune - Satara -- Good with a lot of bad patches Satara - Belgaum - Excellent NH 4 Belgaum - Londa - Very bad, worst part of Journey Londa - Castle Rock - Good We trekked 14KMs to Dushsagar Falls. Trains stop at Caranzol station. Amravati express (Chennai express) stopped there for about 2 mins at around 2PM (it was running late). Amazing waterfall, mist on bridge. Tea/Pav available. Could not go to "View Point" due to time constraints. Lots of people seen camping. So, tough to find place on Saturday. Boarded Goa Express at 5.30 pm from DudhSagar Falls. Lot's of rush. Still everyone gets in. :) INDIA! Return Journey Castle Rock - Arambol -- Bad road in Karnatka, Excellent in Goa Armbol - NH 17 - Awesome r

The only thing they don't mention is price. :) I inquired and will list them here so that you can sit at your place and save your time.  Months Swimming Only         All Per Month 3 6000 2000 6 8500 1416.667 12 6000 11000 916.6667 PS : Transfer charges 3000, in case you need to sell the membership. This needs to be paid by the person buying from you. So, let's say after 5 months you want to sell( with 7 months remaining ), assume price then is 13000 for a year and 9500 for six months. I guess you can sell it at max 5000. It'll be actually 8000 for buyer for 7 months which looks to be a decent deal for both. But, you spent 6000 for 5 months use. :P What you need to join ? * Magarpatta Residence ID card / Cyber-City ID card * 2 photos * Money :) They don't take agreement now as proof.

Here are a few locations I know where you can get your shoes, belts etc. repaired by "mochis"/Shoemaker. Please note that these are not any shops but people working on the footpath. 1. Just outside Vaibhav theatre Reach this location using above map. Look at the footpath, there is a man sitting having lots of shoes at display and will be busy in polishing/repairing shoes. He has got very good hand at this and is most genuine in price. 2. Outside Magar Petrol Station (Bharat Petroleum) This is just opposite to Magarpatta main gate on the footpath outside BP petrol pump/station. He's fine for small work. But being near Magarpatta charges more and is less efficient. Hope someone finds this information useful.
