Our two year Anniversary Celebration at the resort

2years of blissful marriage and still counting. It was a lucky day for both of us and the climate was the proof. It was dawn and visiting the temple that in a way was the reason of our bonding was in our priority list. So we drove through an hour long drive on the highway and it was raining cats and dogs. Seemed like the clouds were emptying their stocks so that we have a dry pleasant day ahead. Thats what happened. We reached the temple and after we did our prayers no showers were seen. On the way to the resort we were marveled by the outstanding paintings of mother nature. How I wanted to behold each moment but every other scene seemed to be overwhelming. I was bitting and sharing chunk of flavored chocolate delicacies that my husband got me out of surprise.

We reached the Silent Hill Resort at 9:30 and had our breakfast. The resort is a water-park cum amusement park. It has some 11-12 water rides that one can enjoy with loud music. A rain dance floor and a pool will water shower. A mini train and some kids play area were a few things that we thought to sidestep. There are some resting areas with ceiling fan and some typical village cane beds. Also a patch for some interesting swings made up of rubber tyre. We bought a locker to keep some handy stuffs we got along and rested on the beds for some time. I was scanning through the new ipod touch and took a nap for a while.

The noise of a loud music woke us up and we were all ready in our swim suits with sunscreen over our body to dive into the fun zone. There was a tube ride that scared me like hell. My husband weighs some 70kg and I am 15kgs less than him. The tube was a two person ride so everytime we took that ride I was completely droned under the water in a lightening speed. I like the sleep and dash ride. One of the ride had lots of loops so that freaked us as well.

Then we went to the pool with water shover and took it as a massage over our back. I also enjoyed rain dancing with my husband with the latest hit music played on.

After some 2 hours of fun, the rides were put on a halt for lunch break. A typical Gujarati thali was waiting to be attacked on. Yummy I loved that I got home cooked food. Back in the resting area, we chatted about everything that came into our minds. I love this part of our twosomes. How laid back we were and enjoyed being that! We then went for the rides again but this time we got out fast. Got a shower and took chai, ice gola to the lake side gazebo. We were nostalgic about the day two years back and felt happy that destiny got us together.

Where else could we go to spend some peaceful time with each other and avoid some typical calls to be attended and avoid doubtable greetings to be appreciated.

We came back and had a romantic candle light dinner in the city's elegant hotel. Thats how we spend the most unforgettable day in another memorable way!

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
