It’s been a year we have been together. And today is our first anniversary. I met her an year ago but the day we started dating, the day when I first time hold her hand was 14th feb 2010. Like any relation we also had some ups and downs but that’s just for a while. Every time we had such situation, we… especially I had learn a lot from such situation.
It’s very rare that I don’t meet her, almost every day I try to spend some time with her. There was time when I used to spend with her 2hrs every day. But now I just spend 30min with her. But I am glad that she never complains about and enjoys every min with me.
So let me introduce my valentine to you. She is non-other than my bike, my darling “Honda Unicorn”. What a journey it has been, together we had spend number of hrs and more than 16000 km in a year. She is the one who have given me relief from the terrible crowed Mumbai trains. Like other couples we do have our good and bad times together. It painful when she gets hurt. on 11may 2010 we met with our first accident just 3km from my office (that time was working in kandivali) where i hit another bike which was speeding from a cross lane after jumping the signal. After that we had a couple of falls but not that serious.
The black beauty had always brought smile on my face. I hope we stay together forever and spend a quality time without hurting each other. Would like if you can shower your blessing on both of us and pray for a strong and healthy relationship between us.
Kalawardhini Pratishthan arranged the second trek of the year to Gorakhgad after Ankai – Tankai on Jan 1, 2011. Gorakhgad is a small fort near Deheri village which is 40min from Murbad near kalyan. We started our trek from kalyan by 11.15PM bus to murbad. We reached murbad at 12.20AM and the connecting and last bus towards Deheri the base village was of 12.30AM and in around 40 min we reached the base village, all thanks to driving of the bus driver. The total count of the group was 23 out of which 2 were going to join us next day i.e. 23 Jan 2011 morning. We had initially decided to do night trek but had to skip the idea as some members who directly came to kalyan were hungry as they had skipped dinner. There was a school where first we decided to spend the night but the area was too small to occupy 21 people. So we decided to spend night Gorakhshanath Temple also called Vithal Mandir. There is a shade in the temple which can occupy more than 40 people.
It wasn’t that cold at 2.30AM but later it was freezing cold and some of us who hadn’t carry bed sheets were shivering. At 6AM we got up and by 6.30 most of us were fresh. Siddhesh was the in charge of morning tea as he is good in that and yes he made a fantastic tea. By the time we were waiting for the other 2 members to join we had an introduction round as few new faces had joined the group. Unfortunately the two members Ruchir all the way from Pune and Rushme from Kalyan reached very late even after reaching murbad at 6.30AM. They reached the base village at 8.50AM, 1 and half hours late of the scheduled time.
We started our trek at 9.11AM. Various species of birds can also be seen while trekking. Gorakhgad is ease but steep narrow steps and climbs make it very adventurous. The last two rock patches are very adventurous. They should not be done in hurry. It is advisable to carry rope so that heavy bags can be pulled up easily. Half of the members climbed the patch then we passed the bags up and then the remaining members climbed the patch.
We reached the top at 12.30PM. A large cave was waiting for us. Around 35-40 people can be accommodated in that cave at a time. We took rest as everyone was quite tired as we had climbed when the sun was on our head. There are few water storage tanks (taak) but as they are in open air, the water is not good for drinking. But there is one tank which is covered by a rocks and the water is also good for drinking.
The view from the top is awesome. Can see few more trek ranges from the caves. It was decided that after lunch we’ll cover the last patch that is the peak point of Gorakhgad in groups. But we have to cancel the idea of climbing the peak due to time constrains. So we decided to take rest and then Chalke sir shared his knowledge about and surrounding the Gorakhgad area.
This time the trek was very special as one of our trek member announced her wedding date and invited the whole group , saurabh was gifted a lovely greeting design by vaibhav on his birthday and last but not the least Siddhesh readout his latest poem which was just brilliant.
At 4.30 we started descending. It took us 2 hrs to just descend the two rock patches. We decided to take another route to reach the base as the route while climbing was not a good route to descend in dark. The other route was quite easy and hence we decided to cover maximum distance before it gets dark. We reached Mhasa village at 7.00 which is 2 Km from the base village deheri.
Siddesh then arranged 2 jeeps from Mhasa village to murbad bus stand. We reached murbad bus stand at 8 and when we enquired about the bus to kalyan they said the next bus is at 9PM and hence we thought to hire a jeep from murbad till Kalyan. But the problem was that there were hardly any jeeps which were travelling towards kalyan and few which were there were way too expensive to hire. But to our luck an empty was arranged looking at the crowd looking to travel towards kalyan.
At 10PM we reached kalyan, this is the worst time of any trek when we concluded our trek. We concluded the trek at kalyan with a promise that next time we’ll make it to the peak of Gorakhgad.
Few points to remember while on the trek Gorakhgad
1. Carry ropes
2. Beware of the monkeys while on the top.
3. If you are not in a big group do lock your bag and tie to the pillars as monkey do jumb in the caves in search of food and also open the bags (Smart monkeys)
4. Don’t carry plastic bag while climbing or descending. Monkeys may attack as they think you are carrying food in them.
5. Try to start descending before dark.
6. Carry torch even if you are doing a day trek. It can be used in caves and also useful if you are late while descending.

Consecutively second time today I participated in Dream Run of most awaited Mumbai marathon. I was more interested in running half marathon but like last year this year too I couldn’t register myself, but managed to get a 21km bib all thanks to Jagdish Parekh. He is the one who inspired me to run 21km marathon but felt sorry as I couldn’t run 21km and participated in Dream Run due to lack of practice. Would like to tell that last Jagdish bhai ran 21km last year and this year at the age of 56 he ran 42 km and successfully completed it.
This time I was running for our own group the sapling project. We (Ranjeet, Satish, Vijay, Jason, neeraj) met at CST station and from there we headed towards Azad maidan. On the way met an Onion, no i am not kidding we met a Mahafreed who was dress in onion with a price tag 5000 Rs per piece. She was looking just awesome and was also the center of attraction while on the way to Azad maidan. Anubha had created few headbands for the sapling group which were just too good and which also become the identification of sapling group. We were later joined by shailaja, Maithili, Anubha, Priyanka, and Stanley on Azad maidan. We were all set with Banners, headbands and also were wearing Sapling T-shirts.
When the race started with shouting slogan “Ped lagao , Duniya bacho”. More than 10k people were in dream run. Lots of media people could be seen taking snaps interviewing people and the crowd was cheering the cause and as I said before Mahafreed was the center of attraction for the media photographer and everyone watching the event. Few celebrities, socialites, politician attended the event (just to wave hand from the stage).
Dream run participants were cheering the runners of half and full marathon as they were about to complete the race. The spirit and the stamina were exceptional for the people who were very tired but still were running toward the finish line.

The sapling group met Malishka the bajate raho RJ near Queens Necklace. She was very impressed with the Mahafreed costume and to our surprise she took the sapling group live on air. It was a great moment for the sapling group that we were going to be on air. We reached the finish line after a 3 and half hours of walk.
We not just walked but we did ran the marathon when we were 10 meter away from the finish point. After finishing we directly went near the refreshment booth as we were thirsty , hungry and in need of energy. The refreshment kit includes Apple, Orange , Horlicks Nutribar, Kingfisher mineral water and Lucozade Sports Drink. For me these were quite enough to get the energy required to reach Thane from CST .
I took the medal which say “I Finished ” which was actually for those who completed the 21km race. I had the bib of Half Marathon (21km) but i participated in Dream Run (6km) then also i decided to take the medal as that will inspire me to be ready next time for Half Marathon.
It was fun running.. i mean walking the Marathon. Hope people have take the note of what we tried saying through banners and slogans. And wish they would support the sapling project and help us make INDIA GREEN.
2010 is gone and we have royally welcome 2011. When i look back today at the year 2010, I find lots of memories obviously Happy and Not so Happy both. But still overall I was quite happy with the year. So just thought to share some of my memorable moments with you.
I welcome the New Year with a new style. The thing I wanted to do from my college days but never got guts to do that I did it in start of New Year. I had shaved off my head.
As a Trekker we always try to start of year with a trek and so i started my New Year 2010 with a trek. We left for Ratangad near Bhandardara Lake on 1st Jan 2010 night. Six of us just enjoyed the trek and return to the busy city Mumbai on 3rd Jan evening.
On 14th Feb 2010 i got the delivery of my new Honda Unicorn. The Valentine of my life. A very very happy and proud moment for me. It was a dream comes true for me. (Till today i.e 3rd Jan 2011 I have covered 16100 km in just 10 months on my bike)
Photography and photographers had always inspired me. I started learning photography with my Canon A450 Power shot. I always wanted to grab the special moments in a special way and my digi cam always helped me. But in May 2010 I decided to go a step ahead in my learning curve. So I gifted myself a semi professional camera Canon 1000D on my birthday. I never ever thought that I would spend 25k on a camera but it was true and had spent and I was very happy for that.
A Monsoon without a trek is impossible for me and so for my trek group. This monsoon we went to Karnala (18 members) which is in between Pen and Panvel. Karnala is famous for its Bird Sanctuary and also for the fort. The journey to and fro, the fort and the Bird Sanctuary was very memorable.
I used to travel to my office in Kandivali by bike. And I always loved the Ghodbandar road route. It used to be a very peaceful journey to office (except sometimes due to traffic). I did continued going to office on bike in monsoon also. My dream to ride the bike in heavy rain came true in such a way that it scared the hell out of me. It was raining very heavily and on top of that thundering and lighting were scaring me. The same route which i loved a lot was like a haunted place to travel for me that day. The experience was incredible but yes was scary too.
Office trip to Shangrila resort in sept10 was too good. I enjoyed with the friends and colleagues. Everyone was just busy enjoying themselves in the pool, rain dance, the slides, waves. A day spent with office colleagues but no one thinks of work and just enjoys the entire day.
Office Ganesh festival was also a memorable day for me as i got a chance to do the “Puja and arti” of lord Ganesh in office.
kingfisher Beer Tweetup which was orgainzed at ManU cafe was way too good. Met some old tweeter buddies and also few new. Won some prizes in the game , had lot of fun there.
My kerala trip with family i september was the most memorable in 2010. We went to Kanyakumari, Kovalam, Ashtamudi, Thekkadi , Munnar in kerala. An amazing tour of south that was.
December started with a new job, new challenges. Changed my company and shifted to another company in Mulund. What more you want when your company is just 5 km from home and everyday if you are saving 60km ride (Thane-kandivali-Thane was 70km ride daily)
Attended the blogcamp after 2 years. A blogcamp which was held in IIT Mumbai was good learning experience as new blogger taught something different.
The same day I even attended an AOC Tweet up (Art Of Chilling) by Fosters. It was not just a tweet up but the Baap of all tweetups ever happened or ever attended. A pool side tweetup with lots of gurls and beer was mind blowing.
Fosters sponsored me Pizza, Beer and Mineral Water to host a Christmas party called AOC Chillup at my place. So on 25th December I had hosted a small party for my family and friends and we all had lots of fun and all thanks to Fosters for sponsoring.
31st December was quite OK till i had Malibu, coconut Rum for the first time in my life. The taste made me a total fan of Malibu and ended my year with new flour in my life, the coconut Rum.
Sunday morning my parents were shocked to see me up at 7am. The question they asked me was “Are you OK ?” and i just smiled and said “NO today is blogcam”. After missing the blogcamp for last couple of years i was very excited to attend it, meet the fellow blogger and learn a lot from them. I started my first blog “My Point Of You” around 2 and half yrs back and then “Ragda Patties” (Marathi blog) around 9 months back but don’t call me a blogger cos i am still learning “how to blog”.
The blogcamp was scheduled to start at 10 am, i knew that it wont start on time but still i tried to reach on time and i reached well before 10 am, i reached at 9.55 am . The venue was IIT Powai, Mumbai and the best part of having a event on Sunday morning is lack of traffic. Annkur, Idea Smity,meetu , poonam Sharma both all the way from Pune and few more guys were reached before other blogger. I was actually scared and could see some scary and panicked face including annkur‘s as only 20 – 25 people turned up till 10.30. Few IIT guys were struggling very hard to setup the wifi and yes they were successful (IITian can do anything). They had already setup the projector and the white board. I should mention this that the guys were from the team of mood indigo
At 11 the introduction of the attendees (prefer attendees over blogger cos 2-3 guys were not blogger includes Sampath Iyengar) . Just before the first session Moksh appealed to all the speakers not to talk about how to promote blog, SEO , Marketing, Revenue generation through blogs ,etc. which i thought was that very nice as i was expecting some speakers to surly talk about (and i was least interested to listen their crabs).
Meetu was the very first speaker with an excellet topic “Writing Reviews Online“. Her topic was related to the reviews she gives to a movie and in return what comments she gets on that review. Meetu runs a well know movie review blog Wogma. She gave examples about the comments she’s getting on her review and how some people comment without giving any justification to their reviews. The funniest part was when she told that some people actually take some comments personally. By the mean time few more people had enter the hall and we happy that number of attended was increasing.
Then came Harpreet Singhwith a very different presentation “Sketching Experiences“. What he shared was something unique never ever happened on blogcamp and it was expressing things in the form of diagrams and Sketches. That was some very innovative and creative way of expressing his feeling. As we say thoughts of person are his reflection , i would say the sketches are the refection of Harpreet. His presentation was highly appreciated by everyone in the hall.
John Matthew, very experienced blogger shared his view blogging. He asked bloggers to write a post daily and even gave few tips on how to increase page rank and shared his knowledge of SEO. Few even questioned him that wont Quantity affect the quality of the blog. He also shared his blogging experience.
Tarun Chandeldidn’t seemed happy about what John Matthew views on writing a post daily. He preferred Quality over Quantity, he suggested not make the blog a dumping ground and not to waste the time of Google users. By his snaps he tried explain patience is also a key to a successful content.
An avid traveler Srinivas Kulkarniwas next up explaining about his upcoming tour to South. He told how he plans to live-blog the journey, share pics on twitter on his tour. (Guys get ready he’s gonna spam the timeline while on his journey). He even got few tips from the few attendees and few rely on his tour so that they can even plan such back packing tour.
Sonesh Prakeshtalked about his two comic characters SoBo Chick and Suburban Guy. Sobo chick was from high society and Suburban Guy belongs to a middle class family. He showed some of their conversation which always ends with WTF. At one point of time he was totally diverted from his comic strip and did showed some snaps of Kerala, Sikkim and other few places had been which were totally not related to the two characters. He was even thinking of making both the characters his patent (so anyone have any info about how to make cartoon characters patent pls get in touch with him)
Aniket Thakkar explained about the multi author site and even what made him start his own multi author site Flash Fiction. He gave mantra of being polite while commenting and how that helped him to get good blogger friend. He even shared a polite way of expressing our oppose or disagreeing on any point. He said instead of directly disagreeing on anyone’s point write something good and then use “but” and then what u disagree and end again with a happy note.
Next session was of Sampath Iyenger who basically asked few serious question to the blogger community. He handles a corporate blog and his question was whether to have a separate personal blog ? He even asked to choose between wordpress and blogger where WordPress won the race. He was even asked to used plugins to fetch the content from his blog to social networking sites.
Harish Iyertalk was surprise package. He shared his views on how writing has help him to convey message to dear once, on how he and Chandni Parekh make use of Postorous blog and Facebook for social purpose.
Manoj Kewalramani explaiened how they are helping the society by providing them with complete information which govt doesnt provide. He even shared his travelogues experience.
It was great to see attendees stick to their chairs and even didn’t went out or asked for a lunch break until few guys arranged sandwich (that too spending from their own pocket, hats off to all those guys and gals).
Those who couldn’t attend blogcamp were reading the twitter feeds as many were live tweeting the event. The hash tag was #blcm .
Later i left for an another event but the blogcamp was called off at 5 pm. I personally thing even with a crowd of 30-40 people blogcamp was a huge success. To be frank i actually like this as compare to other blogcamp as people were not running here and there to attend some other talk in different room. No free stuffs collectors were present as no free stuffs were distributed, only blogger , wanna be blogger and real enthu people made the last blogcamp of 2010 a huge success.
Investing a weekend off for a event you never been is always a risk. But sometimes its better to take that risk, like i did by just knowing the concept. The concept was simple, every speakers gets 5 minutes and 20 slides to speak up on something innovative or different.
The event / meet up whatever you called was organized at WTF , Seven bungalows Andheri. I traveled all the way from Worli to Kandivali and then back to Andheri for the event. Man these Ignite people really freaked me out cos of the address . I was at 7 bungalows and was searching for WTF, when asked the local people they we confused by the name but then at the end called Binoy and he gave me right direction (Have to thanks Ranjeet walunj as he fwded me Binoy’s number). At last at around 6.35 pm i reached WTF an Hour late and thank to ignite as they were late to start the event.
WTF has an open bar where the event was held. The first talk Life is About Getting to the Hill-Station by Arjun Nair where he compare life with a travel, where the roads are not plain , have ups and down. That was quite ok ok for me. There were quite some funny talk but Pimp my Rickshaw Ride! by Achint Parekh was excellent and innovative way to look at the rickshaw. Its was basically on how we can add more fun while having a ride in an auto. Even Surviving the Shopping Trip by Rohan Joseph was cool. It basically was for guys explaining what to and what not to do when you are out with your girl for shopping. Yes there was one which was really boring and that was Making Pasta Like a PRO by Shaheen Peerbhai. Atleast i didnt enjoyed it , dont know about others. The best one was Being Bawi by Mahafreed Irani. She literally concluded the ignitemumbai with a laughing note. It was on diminish Parsis community and what would be left after few yrs are just few status of Parsis. The issues was actually quite a serious one but the way she presented was very funny.
There were some senseless but sensible things shared at the event. Well thanks to ignite and all the presenter who made my evening awesome and i am already looking forward for ignitemumbai 3. But just would request the organizer to organize it where there is no space constrain.
We checked out at 9.30 from Ashtamudi, the next destination was Club Mahindra’s Tusker Trails in Thekkady. A total of 160 Km from Ashtamudi and the route from inside the cities and not a highway route.Once we entered the high range area, again the beauty of nature could be seen. Rubber farms, tea plantation and also spice plantations are now the only scenes could be seen till thekkady. A wonderful journey to the thekkady which was even blessed by some heavy showers halted at 4.15 pm at the hotel. Just after check-in heavy shower started in thekkady. The rooms were too good. They had given a forest look to the entire property.After 6 Pm we went for some spice shopping as thekkady is famous for Spice Plantation. Then enter a “Hill Top – Spice marketing center” purchased some spices. The owner of the shop Mr. Shajoowas very funny and straight forward guy. The first person in kerala i liked was shajoo. The spices were of good quality and were also reasonable in cost. He even helped me out regarding my few queries about the site seeing.(Also warned me that most people give commission to the drive so asked me to bargain wherever possible). We decided to go for a early morning boat ride in Periyar river, because early morning wild animals come to drink water.
Next morning we woke at 5 am (even during my normal routine i never wake up so early). When i reached near my car , my driver was missing, his phone was not reachable, after 15 min he came. At 6.30 the main entrance opens. Its a area under forest department. The entry ticket in the forest area is 15 Rs per person + 30 Rs (some tax) + 50 Rs vehicle entry charge. A walk from car parking to the boat ticket counter is very nice. The entire road is covered with huge tress and birds singing make it more pleasant. KTDC ticket charge is 40 Rs per person, 25 Rs camera charges, 200 Rs Video camera charges. Even there is a private boat whose ticket charges are very higher, 150 Rs per person and camera ticket has to be taken from the KTDC counter. First boat ride starts at 7.30 am. First and the last ride is of 2 hrs and all other are of 1 hrs only. All were very excited as everyone were expecting that they would see some wildlife but in 2 hrs we just saw pigs, deer , owl, Kingfisher and few other birds. A group sitting behind us were the best entertainment as they were cracking very funny jokes. The boat ride was fun, only a little disappointment of not seeing the wildlife but the experience was awesome. from there i went to “Hill top” shop where he told me to visit Aroma Spice Garden. When i entered the gate a tall, dark, slim man with beard greeted me with smile. I told him that Shajoo had send me to see the garden (My driver had chat with him in Malayalam, i was sure it was for the commission but the owner directly denied ).
The garden was very small as compared to other garden, but the owner (Sebastian) explained it so well that it reminded me of my school days. Jaifal (Nutmeg), coffee (coffee robesta & coffee arebica), spear mint, lemon mint, pepper mint, large Tulsi (have large leaf) ram fal, devil mirchi, oregano, amla (throny), thyme, elichi, fig, mountain ginger, rutha, steviya (used for sugarfree products) were some plantation he had in his garden. He explained how to plant them, which parts are useful & for what purpose. He also showed me a visitors book in which the visitors from all over the would had written about their experience after visiting the garden. Sebastian was 2nd person who made aplace in my heart.
Was Very happy with the visit but my driver was always there to spoil my mood. He told me to complete the dinner & shopping by 6 pm because after 6 he is off duty. I was like WTF , why i hired this travel guys ? .So had an argument with him and as well as the travel agent (Livya travels). Then had my lunch & took rest till 6 in hotel. Then again went for shopping. I met shajoo and explained my experience at Aroma Spice Garden. In the shop i met some people from Nasik, i suggested them to visit Aroma Spice Garden.
Next day again was going to be a very long drive day as we were going to leave for Munnar my next and last destination in Kerala.
