Trip to Lonavala-Jan'14

Living in Pune gives you an advantage to visits various nearby places & to indulge with nature. Several famous vacation destination are with 100 km range that you can go different places each weekend.

For me Travelling to various interior areas of India being one of my occupational responsibility I prefer to spend quite weekends at my room or at a friends place doing nothing or anything, rather travelling to these places.

But sometimes I do get freinds from other cities to visit these nearby places for weekend and I along with them visit them. Similarly I visited Lonavala in Jan'14 with couple of friends.

LONAVALA is small hill station which finds its place at the middle of Mumbai-Pune Express Highway, It is kind of equidistant from Navi Mumbai (Khargahr) & Pune. Myself living in Pimpri Chinchwad which is towards nearer to Lonavala so its only 1.5 hrs drive to this place. Basically the best time to visit Lonaval;a is after August (during & after monsoon season). AT that time you can witness some of the best sceneries with varid effects and can enjoys some seasonal waterfalls too.

There are basically following places to visit in Lonavala,
1. Tiger Leap Point (A natural place of beautiful scenery, it seems like tiger is leaping forward)
2. Caves ( Karla, Bhaja & Bedsa caves)
3. Lonavala Lake
4. Bhushi Dam
5. Celebrity Wax Museum ( on lines of world famous Madam Tusad Museum)
6. Various Forts from Mughal & Maratha Era.

Some Pictures from my trip are as below,





















Also Lonavala is famous for its Hard Candy known as "Chikki" in local language. Do enjoy this on your trip to Lonavala.

If you are free & are in Pune do visit this place to escape from your monotonous routine and day to day life.

Have a grt time ahead...!!!

Cheers..!!!

Chapter 2- THe experience...an unlawful...

"The beginning" Now as you all know am working with CTGO into their security division of the company as an Quality Engineer in the beginning, as was told to me by the management. Though my position was as an Engineer Trainee and designation was " Team Member-Engg. Team". The experience I am talking about took place in the month of November'09. Krish and I were just winding up for the day in our cabin. The cabin was shared between Abhay, me and one other guy. We went to our respective  HODs to bid them farewell for the day..(actually to take permission to go out on official time....) if no other important work for the day was left undone. When I  reached to NM who was my HOD, I was told to wait for some time as there is some work to be done and she will call me in around half an hour. My first reaction to it was like "what????? have to wait again....but why?? why me only...??? and blah blah blah......" and I started abusing the management withi...

Visit to HCL, Malanjkhand

On 20/6/2012 I visited one of the Asia's biggest Copper Mines in Malanjkhand, Balaghat. It is situated in MP and has border to Chattisgarh. To reach the site I traveled in Scorpio CG 04 HB 8999 which i hired as taxi. Took Scorpio to tackle the great Roads to Malanjkhand and the monsoon rains.  The MCP (Malanjkhand Copper Project) was initiated in 70's and has now grown to one of the biggest in Asia. I had two objectives while visiting the site one was to participate in the Tender issued by HCL for OTR Tyres and other was to inspect APOLLO tyres which we had supplied to one customer IVRCL who is working for HCL in the project. The mine itself is in two phase, work in one phase is done by HCL itself and in one phase two other contractors works IVRCL and RK Transport. The Copper ore excavated is of one the highest quality in India and the mine is yet to be explored full so I guess it would go on working till next50-70 years more and thus providing essential ...
