A bike ride to Borivali National park, with Mallik, Vj and Bertram ! Bertram and Mallik were there on their 'non-motored' bikes while me and Vj on our motored ones.

Along the ride in the park towards Kanheri caves there was a wonderful bridge over a supposed rain-water river flowing beneath it. I'm sure had it been monsoons, we would have not left the place. However we reached Kanheri caves and entered with a Rs. 5 ticket.

The Kanheri caves have about more than 100 individual caves, some of them big like a court while some small.

Traveling Directions
Reach to Borivali Station (Western Railway), get down at the eastern end of the station, catch a rickshaw its just 5 minutes ride to the park gate.

Had been for a bird watch in the mucky creek of Mahul, Chembur, Mumbai on 26th Apr 2008.

It is advisable to check with the locals for the right time of the visit, eg. a high tide is preferred over there.

You can contact fellow locals who'll help u see the birds as well as row u through the creek

I'd been to a Konkan trip with my CD 100 mama, Mohan mama

Here is a short summary of my travel
=======================
21 Mar, Fri 12.00pm: Start from Khar (Mumbai)
2.45pm: Alibaug

Raaj had asked us for a Gujarat trip, Gir being one of the attractions. Me, Rushi, Rahul the 'BABA man', Amey, his parents and Sunil had finally managed to sync our schedules, etc to make it to the journey. I thought it was gonna be just a 'Gir' trip, synonymous to my earlier Kanha-Kisli trip, I was excited.

21 Dec 07, Friday, 4:00pm
Me and Rushi went to Amey's place, from where we were supposed to meet and reach Bandra Terminus. Sunil had already come at Raaj's place. Amey was ready so were his parents, we moved downstairs and called our TP #1, Rahul. Soon we were in the rick to the Terminus. At the terminus, I heard talks of Amey's parents, "They will be here.., She is not coming..." I didn't understand, Rushi explained, that there are others from the Kirtikar 'community' who will be along with us. The train was on the platform around 5. As expected it was full of Gujaratis, and their non-tiring mouths. As soon as I entered my bogie, I head a young gujarati lady

વરસ મા એક વાર ન્યુયાર્ક હસે

Phew !!, I'm in for long, memorable ride full of "किस्से". That statement was gonna be the first one for my Gujarati-office fellas. We managed to accommodate all our baggage, etc and became comfortable, when the high amplitude of the Gujarati conversations started to hit us from all angles. Rahul being the usual target, Amey's father asked...

तुम लोग सब गुजराती जोर से क्यों बात करते हो?

laughter followed. The train departed around 5.40, and soon we were laughing on why Sunil had spent Rs. 300 on his new shorts. Raaj had a different bogie, so he had to come from his end. At dinner, we couldn't stop rolling on Rahul and Sunil's gimmicks. A sound little sleep followed later.

Walls is a sweet song played on scale of F, I've found a lot many chords, tabs on the internet but the riff played at the end of the song, so here it is...

Hold the F chord position, with ring finger on 3rd fret on F, the middle finger on 2nd fret on A, the index finger on 1st fret on C. Keep the little finger hanging..

e|-------------------|-------------------|
b|------1-------1----|------1-------1----|
g|----2---2-3-2---2--|----2---2-3-2---2--|
d|--3----------------|--3----------------|
a|-------------------|-------------------|
E|-------------------|-------------------|

When u play the 3rd fret note on G string (Bb), use your little finger to fret it and keep the rest of the positions the same. Keep playing that riff till the end.

A lovely quote from one of my favourite feeds, dustindiaz.com

Photography is like JavaScript
As if you didn’t know it was coming to this. But let me be the first to put it into words. Photography is like JavaScript, and JavaScript is like photography. They are both expressive and beautiful. They can be done bad or good ... Both can detailed and complicated. Both can be simple. They are both object-oriented.

A bike ride for the coming weekend was getting me and Vj so excited. But the increasing no. of the participants and someone's constant "Ferry ride.. Ferry ride.." and "tain tu tain taain taain.." made us force ourselves to change the plan for only a Ferry ride constituting to a 'Alibaug picnic' instead of a 'Murud bike-ride'. Ashok and Gauri were to join us as well. Rajo couldn't make it as he was at Tirupati satisfying Gods. I dying to see Vj's new Rebel XTi. Even after the disappointment of dropping the bike ride (me and Vj will continue to direct these sarcastic comments till we die), the whole scenario was perfect for a ideal weekend picnic, Cool weather, Vikrant, the ever so giggling guy, Vj adding dry fuel to jokes, Ashok and not but the least Mukti, the giggling 'Kutch ki raani'.

Feb 2, 2008, @ 4.45am
The alarm as usual a little late, the excitement getting the better of me and making me let my drowsiness off before the ring hurt the ears. As by order..

Hello Mukti, awake?

Good morning ... (she continued, I didn't comprehend)

Good u're awake, bye, cu later

At 6.00am I was @ Khar station boarding the 5.59 Churchgate local. It was not surprising, that Vj was just at Borivali station at that time, boarding a fast local. And to add to that..
