Mumbai trip

I went to Mumbai, Pune this week after some gap of 3-4 years. Mumbai never fails to surprise me. It brings up something new every time. Just could not figure out how this maximum city survives when a tourist like me bewilders abt the traffic jam on the Bandra flyover.

I drove through Worli Sea Link and felt bit excited. As usual, had bites of street food like vada pav, pani puri and one dish called "bell" - chinese chat item. All were good.

Drove down to Pune through Mumbai - Pune Expressway (done by IRB) in the foggy morning and liked it thoroughly. But the heavy vehicles end up struggling bcoz of hill terrain, curves.

There was a food mall on the way and they were calling "Thoosai" for dosa and "Soombar" for Sambar... had a hearty laugh abt it.

Will write a lot about Pune over next six months for sure...

IPL Vs PAK

IPL chose to omit Pakistan players in the auction. Enough was written by others on this topic and i am late to it.

All I can say, if Indian government wants to hurt Pakistan where it really matters is - then, it could be cricket only !!!

But i would have loved the display of some guts and transparancy instead of blaming each other on this topic.

Chennai will be back to inaction

Chennai is a very different city. Life becomes very interesting starting from Dussera days to Pongal with various activities or festivals like Diwali, Christmas, Music festical, island grounds exhibition spread in between.

You visit so many shops, relatives... plunge deep into carnatic... then relax, take it easy with chennai sangamam folk.

Then, all of a sudden, life turns serious... exams for kids, summer leave...

nothing simply nothing happens and life becomes really predictable for outdoor life especially.

How do you call it... deep slumber? yeap... starting from monday :) Have you felt that way too?

when dreams blossommed in the heart to turn as reality
