एक स्वप्नं

कोणताही फोटो पाहिल्यानंतर, आपण नेहमीच flash back मध्ये जातो. पण हा फोटो पाहिल्यानंतर मात्र मी future मध्ये गेलो. किती सही फोटो आहे हा, हो ना? नक्कीच तुम्ही सुद्धा गेले असणार. असे चित्र माझ्या आयुष्यात सत्यात कधी उतरेल. आखिर कब यार... कब आयेगी मेरी सपनो कि राणी? तेवढीच traditional पण trendy असणारी माझी बायको..! कोणत्याही बाबतीत तिला force न करणारी माझी आई. एक सुखी सासू सुनेची जोडी. आईशप्पत आईने जर ही post वाचली तर नक्कीच पुढच्या वर्षापर्यंत माझे वाजउण सोडेल. खूप लिहावे वाटत आहे ह्या बद्दल पण आता मनाला आवर घालतो. I hope you guys understand what i wanted to mean about this picture.

लोहगड... Its amazing

                    Sandy, Sachin & me had a group chat on Thursday morning, finally we decided to go for the famous Lohgad(लोहगड) fort. I called Vicky to come online but he was quite busy as usual & i told him the plan. He replied that, his dad has some business on Saturday then why don't on Sunday? I thought this plan is gonna fail. At evening Vicky called me & told that Sachin is okay on Sunday. So every one was ready as decided, but i was not sure as usual, on time 'काहीतरी गंडनार याची मला सतत भीती वाटत होती'. See what a confidence i have on my friends.

                    Finally Sunday came, we guys met at Nashik patha around 9:30 & had a breakfast & started journey towards the Lonavla. Enjoyed the riding on Pune-Mumbai old highway. At Malavali we took left turn towards Bhaje Caves which is just 2-3 km from highway. Seen Bhaje caves & somebody told that Lohgad is very near from Bhaje caves & the road is good for bike also. Actually it was raining so we didn't take risk n we didn't want to cover that distance by walking so we decided to go Lohgad via Lonavla. Here we made a big mistake.We travel upto the Lonvla toll plaza after a few meters ahead took left turn & we lost the road. We were moving round n round in Lonavla. We had some snaks n got ready for round n round. Finally a boy told the right way from Lonavla we went to the Bhangarwadi & the road is straight to the lohgad. Between this time vicky's bike was behaving like a bitch.
                    Finally we reached Lohgad, we were completely wet. It was the greate climate. it simply feeling like being in heaven. We enjoyed the Fort, i guess its a true fort, means the entrance of the fort is in better condition. Thae view of the pavna dam & tikona hills... speechless. While taking snaps we reached at the top. we moved to the Vinchukata(Scorpion Tail). What it is yaar ? I don't have word to describe it. Then we started to get down the fort. It had heavy rain fall so everywhere there was water flowing. We played in water like a small child. I still remember that moment when vicky & sachin tried to 'drown' me in water. but they didn't success. When we reached at the base of fort, we had a cup of tea. While having tea we had discussed those things which i don't wanna mention. Its very very personal guys... hey not like that, what in your mind currently. Finally we decided to go via Bhaje caves. This track was very amazing cause road was very tricky cause of rainfall. It was my turn to ride Vicky's bike, two times we slipped from the bike. It was awesome. Finally we reached on old highway & had some snacks(only snacks ahhh...) & went to home. Everybody was completely wet. When i came to home, had glass of tea & went to bed.
                    Lohgad fort is amazing. Whenever you plan for the Lohgad i would like to advice you to go via Bhaje caves(if you have bike or haven't).

पहिला पाऊस...!@%$&*#

आज ३-४ वाजल्यापासून पाऊस येण्याचे संकेत दिसत होते. वातावरण सही झाले होते. बाहेर जाऊन मस्तपैकी फिरून यावे असे वाटत होते पण काय करणार, मनाला आवर घातला आणि ग्यालरीत थोडा वेळ उभे राहून 'back to work'. सहा वाजल्यानंतर मोसमातल्या पहिल्या पावसाच्या सरी पडू लागल्या. "पहिला पाऊस पडतो तेंव्हा एकच काम करायचं .... हातातली कामं टाकुन पावसात जाऊन भिजायचं ! " आता पर्यंत फक्त हेच माहित होते. पण हे विसरून कामात गुंतलो. कसे बसे ७:३० वाजले team leader ला ping केला i am leaving & he replied that yeah you can. बस sack घेतली आणि निघालो. बाहेर आल्यानंतर रोहन भेटला & he dropped me at Karve Nagar, While waiting for bus i had a cup of cutting(tea). I was completely wet.पाऊस तसाच पडत होता, पण आता मात्र मूड चेंज झाला होता काही वेळा पूर्वी हवा हवासा वाटणारा पाऊस shit shit shit वाटत होता. कपडे ओले झाले होते, आणि मी वैतागून गेलो होतो बसची वाट पाहून पाहून. Finally i decided to hire auto riksha upto Malvadi & then six sitter to reach my home. आणि पावसाला शिव्या घालत घरी आलो, वाटेत वाटले कि आत्याला call करून सांगावे कि आज कांदा भजी कर. पण आत्याची night duty आहे हे विसरून गेलो होतो. मला उशीर झाल्यामुळे आत्याने flat ची चावी जावळकर काकूंकडे ठेवली होती. पाऊस पडतच होता. After that i checked emails & facebook. I was quite tired & hungry. आणि काल आणलेली sprite ची bottle शोधण्यासाठी रेफ्रिजरेटर कडे धावलो. सकाळपर्यंत आर्धी असलेली bottle संधाकाळी भरलेली होती. भरलेली bottle पाहून आनंदी आनंद गडे झाला आणि टोपण खोलून १ घोट घेतला तर धक्काच बसला. तसला धक्का न्हवे..! आत्याने चुकून आर्धी असलेल्या sprite च्या bottle मध्ये पाणी ओतले होते. चपाती भाजी वरण गरम करून घेतले & भाताला जिरे कोथिंबिरी टाकून परतून घेतले. पण मनात १ मात्र विचार सारखा घोळत होता कि i haven't enjoyed the first rain of season. Why? why? why? या why चा विचार करत झोपी गेलो.
