The most beautiful place in Mumbai

I knew Marine drive as the most beautiful place in Mumbai until I visited Amerson's Breach Candy Park. It was a special day with my fiance and was little hot too. But as soon as we entered the park, the climate seemed to have changed all of a sudden. The humid, polluted and unpleasant climate in Mumbai seems to have filtered before entering this park. If you visit here in the day time the scorching sun rays are magically altered to soothing light.

I was advised by one of my relatives in my teen days to visit this place with my boyfriend. I was waiting for the right guy to make this place memorable. And I must admit, we keep waiting to visit here again and again.
Amerson's Breach Candy
The rectangular sea facing park has two bordering jogging area. One is made up of beach sand and the other is concrete. The inner part is a well maintained garden surrounded by coconut trees. There are huge rocks between this park and the sea. In the evening when the sun sets this is best place to sit and relax.

It is a cool, tidy place with pleasant environment. There are upper class people in their late 50s, 60s working out. There is a children play park adjacent to the park. Some benches to sit and relax and you can even sit on the green grass. Also you can much on some snacks that are sold outside the park. I have had butter corn, grill sandwich and ice-cream. Also public lavatories and a place to read complimentary newspapers. There is a small fast-food joint named 'Premsons' a little away from the park that makes this delicious veg grill sandwich and sells some excellent ice-creams. My advise is, try the Chic-Choc.

Visit to the Sagar Upwan

A Garden that was a dumping ground once is maintained more esthetically than any other! Not just because it lies hugging the seashore but also because its on the most elite part of the island city. A botanical garden so beautiful that it attracts most of the newbie photographers and it bets that any shot will earn you applause. Simply gaze by the path and be jolted by every other flora and fauna. Here are some pictures I took.

An Ideal School System

Reading Raghu's Rearview made me realize why kids dread school so much and why i still don't like to recollect my school days. What I don't get is the attitude of parents in-general. Why do they on the first place want their piece of heart to go through such bad upbringing. In Raghu's words, School is mediocrity and uniformity at its worst... when all parents want is the opposite of that. I get anxious on the thought of sending my kid to any school... which is why homeschooling excites me. Is it my fear or something else? I don't know! All I know is i would send my child without any delay to a place where he genuinely learned and enjoyed learning. Where he finds that being of use to anyone is the only creditability to have something learned and providing value to the society can be an ultimate goal. Screw Exams. How perfect would it be to have questions from the student himself and he tried to figure of the answer! Ideally It should be the student passing ...

Pawna Lakeside Camping (Day 2)

Next morning I could wake before the birds chirped. It was gloomy and fog lay on the banks. I was trying to figure out east while reminding me where the sun set to the west.  The boys were still sleeping and my eyes was wide awake wanting to soak in more of this beauty. After the sun rose and my son rose... We all did a group hug and headed to the play area.  H made few friends and we had poha, chai and bread muskah for breakfast. The Resort people were kind enough to serve warm milk for my son. Hello Sun H starting to interest in photography New friends H was keen in exploring the place more.
