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.

Pawna lakeside camping (Day 1)

Homeschool experience for our kid led us to understand the importance of small meaningful trips in the wild. We had been staying in a tent that had attached bathroom in the midst of a dessert during our Rajasthan trip but this one was such a raw experience. We were done with our morning routine and headed to lonavala at around 11. Listening to old songs that i love chorusing along, we reached Kailash Parbat for a lunch hault. H enjoyed homemade puranpoli that his granny made. At Kailash Parbat The weather was cold enough and H was happy to find a baby next table to play with. From here our journey was full of rough roads and yet we enjoyed looking at the scenes it had to offer. Farmer with his bullocks A farmer was ploughing his land which caught baby H's eyes. He realized we have reached another side of the world already. The tropical flowers and shrubs that H kept visiting were part of his love for colors. Pawna Lake, Thakursai Pretty Purple Flowers Ye

I Salute The Mother In You

I have been traveling through BEST bus since a month now. Observing passengers especially ladies. I prefer the reserved seat for ladies. I usually get to sit immediately there.  A lady in burkha sat beside me with her 7months boy. I started. Me: "Does he have teeth yet?" She was very welcoming and showed me his tiny milky teeth. He was cute, enjoying that he was travelling. Me: "Is he your first child?" She said, “No its my third, I have other two girls. I just dropped them to school and am returning from there.” It is a personal opinion on how many kids a couple wants to have but what amazes me is how a mother takes care of as many kids she has with all the love and attention. Today while at the bus stop for boarding my ride i meet a lady. She lost her husband at much early age and had two kids to take care. she started her career at 30 and didn’t look back. Its cool how she manages her home and work together with kids. No personal life! I salute th

Kshamapna: Forgiveness

The 8days Jain festival called "Paryushan" has a very thoughtful message to give. It inspires you to forgive and forget the past grievances. "Michhami Dukkadam" is what you tell everyone, not only humans but every single soul in the universe. It is a prakrit phrase meaning 'to be forgiven' or 'may all evil that has been done be forgiven'. Why do we forgive some one? 1. Because he can be harmful 2. Because you owe him 3. Because of some religious reason like God says we must forgive and forget 4. Because that is what you call as dignity There can be many reasons. Be it. But the calmness you feel after forgiving wholeheartedly is inexpressible. Like we bath daily... our soul should also be cleaned at-least on a yearly basis! As humans we tend to have some or the other feel of grievances, hatred, enmity, jealousy etc towards others. Slowly & gradually this ill feelings give rise to feelings of revenge which ultimately is a destructive
