Rat's eye view

There was a RAT in the house who was troubling us since a week, and used to keep changing his place every day and were unable to trace him, finally yesterday evening we got our hands on him and were able to get rid of him.

This is a dreamland pic a "rat's eye view of the fridge"

Rishi Muni: expreimental

This is another experimental one of the series, Shilpa is holding a torch behind her back. The effect has come out neat, there is another one which looks cool, it's on Shilpa's Blog

SHOCKED: experimental

This is an experimental photo clicked at 1:00 am. I was clicking some samples with Shilpa, but then liked my expression for the same. It seems as if I'm shocked to see what is on the screen.
The blue ambience is because of the orkut website open on the screen.

Where ever your network goes, we follow


3-4 kms from Captans Bungalow, after a small hike there is Thakurwadi lake. We are following an Adivasi dog, who was tamed by the Captan. The dog guided us to the lake and helped us come back. It was real fun to see the dog leading and we following it.
It was the perfect parody for Hutch, where ever you go, our network follows.

Captan's Bungalow

My cousin and her husband (Ekta & Deepak), along with my wife and me, had been on a bike trip to "Captans Bungalow", 3-3.5 kms uphill in the depth of Lonavala. We started the trip at 9:30pm in the night and reached the top at 10:15pm, where a scrumpcous chicken dinner (cooked punjabi istlye) was awaiting us.

This is on day 2 when we were moving back to Bombay. After "riding" in the Sahyadris. It was an amazing trip.
Visit the site to know more the place. The Captan, Captain Mohan Chabba is an interesting man to interact with

Bullock Cart

BAILGADDI... Found en route to Gatha Mandir, After crossing Dehu Phata. Phata, is a crossing in Marathi.

Lonavala - Expressway Flyover

The pics are the two ends of the flyover. From Bombay to Pune... While en route to Pune, I took a small break under this flyover. The 4 lane flyover spans over the whole town of Lonavala, to avoid the traffic entering the town and circumnavigate the outskirts of it.

Pune desperately needs such kind of infrastructure to take care of it's maddening, hooligan traffic, and keep it under control.

Gatha Temple

I was getting back to Bombay from Pune after visiting a client for my bike, but he was not ready to pay the price I was quoting. Finally getting frustrated I started back for Bombay enroute Moshi-Talegaon-Bombay. Closing in 2-3 kms before Talegaon, there was this amazing temple I could see from the main road.

The white brightness was amazing!! I decided to change my route and enter towards "Dehu Fata" 5 kms inside towards "Indrayani River" and saw this temple on the banks of the river.

This temple is called the "GATHA TEMPLE" and had been in construction since 10 years and will take another year or two before it is officially open for the general public. The temple is built as a homage to Santh (Saint) Tukaram.
