The Journey to the Lion Kingdom Begins!! The day I stepped into the Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve, I made up my mind that I will try and cover all the national reserves in India in my lifetime. Corbett, Bandipur, Kanha over, with no luck with the tigers I thought I would try my luck with the King of the Jungle this time. A very opportune offer from Club Mahindra and I could not resist. Lavi was to handle all the planning for the trip. Somehow women tend to plan things well, we men just complicate things a little too much. Our tickets to Rajkot got confirmed last minute and we took off on 28th Feb 2012 on board the SauJanta express from Borivali at 18:30pm. Train journies tend to be interesting if you are armed ... read more

Goa trip : Dec30th - Jan4th 30th: Celebrating the New-Years or christmas in Goa has become a norm for our group. It wasnt a surprise then, that people had applied for leaves as early as a year in advance(ref.Arnie). Amidst fears of terrorist attacks and last moment cancellations we managed to finally set sail for Goa on the 30th. We had booked a Toyota Qualis from one of Vivek's 'reliable' friend's friend. We were lucky this time that this fella was actually reliable and reached on time . Sai,Vivek,Raj,Saju and Me left from Marol and we picked up Arnie from his office in Vikroli. 6 of us in a Qualis was comfort, any more would have caused pain. Going was good till about an hour and then as luck would have it, disaster struck. The engine ... read more

Matheran Trek (12st Sept-14th Sept 2008):: For sometime I had this desire of trekking in the dark and my wish was fulfilled when the enthu group(raj, saju n me) decided going trekking on Matheran(2 weeks ago).Then came the tedious task of gathering people. Frantic calls to friends ,relatives ,friends of friends etc went on ...though to no avail .Finally we ended up with the usual suspects(raj,saju,arnie,aalu n me). Skepticism crept in as Aalu was the only girl and we weren’t sure that she would be able to complete the trek.But then we thought, oh hell its arnie’s problem:-) not ours .Worst case we had to leave them midway and we were ready to do that . D-Day-12th Sept- Plans of reaching Ghatkopar stn early etc were made ..but as usual we can never be on time..Last ... read more
