I was at my hometown Kolhapur, for Rakhi and another function at home. Since my sister had decided she will leave for Pune on the Wednesday, we had planned a visit to Kaneri Math on Tuesday (2nd August 09). However, this totally got changed, as my father informed that Marleshwar visit is possible in one day. My sister suddenly changed her mind and said, Kaneri math can be visited any time, therefore let’s go to Marleshwar if it can be done in one day. Within next 10-15 mins I made phone calls to my aunt and uncle who also agreed to join us for the picnic. It required another 2 hours to have everybody gathered at my home take a quick breakfast and for us to leave for Marleshwar, in our Wagon-R. It had rained a ... read more

It was 5 of us, who had done some treks this year together with determination that no monsoon weekend should be spent without an outing.

And they were Vidya, Rumi, Ashish, Saurabh and Laxmikant.

For a change, this time, we were running ahead with our planning. We had 11 confirmations for Sunday (19th July) outing and the place chosen was Raigadh and this all was confirmed on Friday itself. On Friday, Vidya had dropped a mail to the team saying that we will go by ST, which was later changed on Saturday and we decided to hire a private bus because we got three more additional confirmations. Our past experience was when we said 7.00 am, all of us never gathered before 8 am. But this time, it looked like everybody was determined to come on time and they surprisingly came before 8 am . Our bus started from Pune at 8.00 am. The team comprised of 3 couples, a one and half year baby boy and rest singles, some ... read more

Nov-29: The plan was for 10 trekkers to meet at Pimple Saudagar at 6.30 sharp and as I expected, no one arrived there at 6.30 am. After waiting for few more minutes, Kaustaubh gave me a call to inform that he has started from the home and will reach in few minutes. Salil arrived before Kaustaubh, and few minutes later, the entire team of trekkers gathered. It was 7.00 am in the morning.We quickly re-distributed our luggage, while having a hot cup of tea at my home and by 7.30 am we were all set to go for our long talked and long awaited trek to Jivdhan and Naneghat. We started with me-Anand, Salil-Anil, Kaustubh-Srini, Murtaza-Bhupendra, Sunil-Rakesh paired on a bike. It wasn’t a sunny morning, and there was a little shower of rain, just a ... read more
