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...

Chapter 5: The unlawful experience

Commencement of Assingment Next morning I woke up at 4:00 a.m. much early then required may be because I was feeling anxious. The cab had to come at 5:30 a.m. in the morning but I got fresh and dressed much before and started waiting for the cab. Well I reached the Airport well on time and boarded the flight... (my maiden flight....) ....It took around 2 hrs after boarding to reach Hyderabad Airport. I remember I reached there precisely at 8:30 a.m. in the morning. One thing I would say the Hyderabad airport is world class, a real good one. Well I checked out and went to the pickup point waiting for the taxi prebooked by the company for me, not knowing that my ill fate is coming with the taxi. I called on the number of the taxi driver and to my great surprise he said "I am ill and thus someone else would be coming to pick you up." What??? I just yelled. So who is gonna come? I asked. Sir, he is also a good driver his name is Venkateshwar Rao, came the reply. ...
