Boredom

Greatest Theory for Living Forever : 

Amitgatha says "If you are bored, the time passes slowly. Hence the one who can achieve the absolute state of boredom, he can live forever"

Nirvana

We want him to play, at least one more match, but cant question God on his decisions.
He is been an Inspiration, a Pride, an Idol, a Master, a Hero, a Gentleman.
Sachin retire nahi hua hai, Sachin retire nahi hote hai.
Cause God never retires, he is always with us in our hearts.

Super Monsoon on Lohgad

As for a the all Maratha boys, me too have a thing for trekking, forts, monsoon getaways etc etc.. So when the monsoon start pouring in, its time for the yearly once lonaval area outing. This time me and lovely wife, decided to go to Lohgad a fort near Malvali. As the name suggests its Loh-gad, the Iron Fort. Parked my car at Malavli and started the hike to fort. Though now a rough road is being constructed, we decided to hike to the fort. 

As a typical day in that region, it was raining when we reach the malvali. On the way on the left side during the begining portion of the hike, are the Bhaje Caves, the Rock cut, depicting Indian mythology & Budthism., dating back to 200 BC.  The Rain and the sun played hide and seek till we were hiking toward the base of the fort. We felt happy that we dint get our car up, as the road had vanished into a dirt track of potholes & flowing waters. The surrounding mountains were offering nice view of number of waterfalls falling off the mountain cliffs. Snow white water falling of background of black basalt rock cliffs was looking extremely picturous. 

Once we reached the base of the fort, it was happy thing to see some snack centers under the temporary sheds. Yes, we were hungry of the one and half hour of hiking, but as a rule, we decided to reach the top of the fort first and then take a break. So we climbed on. The Fog surrounded the top hillock of the fort. All one can see was fort wall and steps getting lost in the fog after 30 -40 ft. Like the name of the fort, it has a very strong stone bastons and stone steps, leading to the entrance of the fort. The main entry gate of the fort is an amazing example of the Fort Architecture of the old times. It really very strategically constructed to be as a absolute strong defensive structure, denying the entry to enemy. The structures seems to also, recently restored to its original glory at few places, where it was damaged due to weathering. 

The most thrilling part of our climbed all the way from Malvali, was that intensity of the rain was increasing as we were moving up. As we reached the top of the fort the rains started pouring so wildly that it felt like standing below lakhs of taps of running water. Only difference was, due to wind the rain seemed to be coming from all the directions. Few people who had come with the umbrella's, were already running behind their flying umbrella's. The visibility had come down to 20-30 ft and all we could see the fog and rain. 

We got wet do the depth our souls. These are the times when you feel nirvana. Just standing there and feeling the beauty of nature.  The Height, The Fog, The Wind, The Pouring Rain, The Sound of water.. thats all, thats all was there.  

We wondered here and there for some time in that heavy rains, but visibility and no hope of Rain God calming down, we decided to climb down. It was a tricky affair to while coming down on the stone steps, as due to monsoon, much of area of steps had a moss on it and secondly a carpet of flowing water was making the steps even more slippery. Finally we came to base of fort and our stomachs raised a loud alarm for lunch. We went to one the sheds order our snacks. When we sat down the chair, then we realized that 3 hrs of nonstop walking had make my legs shout in pain. Also we were absolutely drenched. and now under the shelter of shed, we starting feeling the cold. I even experienced a wild cramp in my leg as i got up after the snacks. I normally get cramps after i get drenched or i come out of water after a swim. Its painful for a while, but got better after some time. 

So after taking 10 min break, we started back to Malavli. We could see how high we had climbed up, as the village was looking like a small spot from the top. It didn't took us much time to reach back, but still good 50 min or so. Rain still was accompanying us to the car. First thing we did after seating the car was to start the heater. We changed into dry cloths and started our journey back home.

On the way back the Visapur fort, partly covered in the fog was inviting us. Next Time I said. :)

The continuous rain, didnt much allow us to take out the camera for photography. 
How to reach: We went from the Pune - old Pune Mumbai Express Highway - Malvali Station - Lohagd
Another alternate route is available - Pune- Chandani Chowk - Paud - Right Turn, Pavna Dam - Lohagad. This road leads directly till the foot of the fort. 

life & traffic rules.

Just a thought while waiting on a traffic signal.........

Wish in real life also there could have been a system like traffic rules & signals. 
Where if you follow the rules life, you will surely reach your goal, safe, sound and in time. 
But, if you break the rules you will be punished. 
If you break a major rule, your license to live will be taken away by the God. 

Just felt that, Traffic signals will make you wait in the fast paced life, gives you a moment to introspect yourself on the path to goals of life. Goals like you family commitments, career objectives, self interests & social status. It gives you a break to see the people around you, who are just like you and running in the race of life.

Got the Green Signal. Bye.

Last week when I was in Mumbai for few days, had an opportunity to travel on Bandra - Worli Sea Link..  Being an Engineer I am always attracted to structures that are unique. Man made Structures make equal impact or statement about a civilizations as do the people who are part of that civilization... Watching this bridge was a pleasure. . Couldn't resist an urge to take a snaps. So this was best I got. . I think this is second modern wonder of Mumbai, first of course is Antilla....

Being Average is New Exceptional.. Proud to be An Average.

कारण मी कधीच रिस्क घेत नाही !!

कारण मी कधीच रिस्क घेत नाही!

दारु पिताना मी कधीच रिस्क घेत नाही
मी संध्याकाळी घरी येतो तेव्हा बायको स्वयंपाक करत असते,
शेल्फमधील भांड्यांचा आवाज बाहेर येत असतो,
मी चोरपावलाने घरात येतो,
माझ्या काळ्या कपाटातून बाटली काढतो,
सासरेबुवा फोटोतून बघत असतात,
या कानाचा त्या कानाला पत्ता लागत नाही,
कारण मी कधीच रिस्क घेत नाही .... ||१||

वापरात नसलेल्या मोरीतल्या फळीवरुन मी ग्लास काढतो,
पटकन एक पेग भरुन आस्वाद घेतो,
ग्लास धुवून पुन्हा फळीवर ठेवतो,
अर्थात बाटलीही काळ्या कपाटात ठेवतो,
सासरेबुवा मंद हसत असतात,
स्वयंपाकघरात डोकावून बघतो, बायको कणीकच मळत असते,
तरी या कानाचा त्या कानाला पत्ता लागत नाही,
कारण मी कधीच रिस्क घेत नाही .... ||२||

मी : जाधवांच्या मुलीच्या लग्नाचं जमलं का गं?
ती : छे! दानत असेल तर मिळेल ना चांगलं स्थळ!
मी परत बाहेर येतो, काळ्या कपाटाच्या दाराचा आवाज होतो,
बाटली मात्र मी हळूच काढतो,
वापरात नसलेल्या मोरीतल्या फळीवरुन मी ग्लास काढतो,
पटकन एक पेग भरुन आस्वाद घेतो,
बाटली धुवून मोरीत ठेवतो,
काळा ग्लास पण कपाटात ठेवतो,
तरी या कानाचा त्या कानाला पत्ता लागत नाही,
कारण मी कधीच रिस्क घेत नाही .... ||३||

मी : अर्थात जाधवांच्या मुलीचं अजून काही लग्नाचं वय झालं नाही..
ती : नाही काऽऽय! अठ्ठावीस वर्षांची घोडी झालीये म्हणे..
मी : (आठवून जीभ चावतो) अच्छा अच्छा...
मी पुन्हा काळ्या कपाटातून कणीक काढतो,
मात्र कपाटाची जागा आपोआप बदललेली असते,
फळीवरुन बाटली काढून पटकन मोरीत एक पेग मारतो,
सासरेबुवा मोठ्ठ्याने हसतात,
फळी कणकेवर ठेवून,
सासरेबुवाचा फोटो धुवून मी काळ्या कपाटात ठेवतो,
बायको गॅसवर मोरीच ठेवत असते,
या बाटलीचा त्या बाटलीला पत्ता लागत नाही,
कारण मी कधीच रिस्क घेत नाही .... ||४||

मी : (चिडून) जाधवांना घोडा म्हणतेस? पुन्हा बोललीस तर जीभच कापून टाकीन!
ती : उगीच कटकट करु नका... बाहेर जाऊन गप पडा...
मी कणकेमधून बाटली काढतो,
काळ्या कपाटात जाऊन एक पेग मळतो,
मोरी धुवून फळीवर ठेवतो,
बायको माझ्याकडे बघून हसत असते,
सासरेबुवाचा स्वयंपाक चालूच असतो,
पण ह्या जाधवांचा त्या जाधवाना पत्ता लागत नाही,
कारण मी कधीच रिस्क घेत नाही .... ||५||

मी: (हसत हसत) जाधवांनी घोडीशी लग्न ठरवलं आहे म्हणे!
ती: (ओरडून) तोंडावर पाणी मारा!!
मी परत स्वयंपाकघरात जातो,
हळूच फळीवर बसतो, गॅसही फळीवरच असतो..
बाहेरच्या खोलीतून बाटल्यांचा आवाज येतो,
मी डोकावून बघतो... बायको मोरीत दारूचा आस्वाद घेत असते,
ह्या घोडीचा त्या घोडीला पत्ता लागत नाही,
अर्थात सासरेबुवा कधीच रिस्क घेत नाहीत..
जाधवांचा स्वयंपाक होईपर्यंत्...
मी फोटोतून बायकोकडे बघून हसत असतो...
कारण मी कधीच रिस्क घेत नाही...||६
