Bonds Beyond College: Exploring Mahabaleshwar Together

 



Reunited and it feels so good! Forever friends, endless memories.


We all remember the best friendship movie of all-time 'Dil Chahta Hai' and there is a captivating scene at a Goa fort where the three friends—Akash, Sameer, and Sid—witness the majestic sight of ships sailing across the vast horizon. They talk about their roads will be different after college and they may not even meet in the next 10 years.

We three friends - Brijesh, Ritesh and Arvind still reunite after 17 years of college with smiles widen, and eyes sparkling with joy and nostalgia.

Exploring the Mahabaleshwar together with Family - three friends with their families embark on a memorable trip to Table Mountain in Mahabaleshwar.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Mahabaleshwar, the sunrise point stands as a testament to the enchanting beauty of nature's daily spectacle.



As the first rays of the sun break through the horizon, casting a soft golden glow across the misty surroundings, visitors flock to this idyllic spot to witness a sight that is nothing short of magical.

Perched atop a vantage point, the sunrise point offers a panoramic view of the verdant hills, valleys, and cascading waterfalls that adorn the landscape.

With each passing moment, the sky transforms into a vibrant canvas, painted with hues of orange, pink, and gold, as if nature itself is putting on a splendid show. As the sun gracefully ascends, its warm light illuminates the earth below, casting a surreal glow on the lush greenery and creating a tranquil atmosphere.

In the embrace of this captivating setting, visitors find solace and a sense of awe, as they witness the dawn of a new day in all its radiant glory.

The sunrise point in Mahabaleshwar is not just a destination; it is an invitation to connect with nature's timeless beauty and embrace the joy of witnessing a celestial marvel unfold before one's eyes.



In this photograph, we gather at Table Mountain, surrounded by breathtaking panoramic views. The smiles radiate excitement as we marvel at the beauty of nature, setting the stage for a day filled with joy, togetherness, and unforgettable memories.

The horse riding adventure is a must at Table Mountains encapsulating the beauty and thrill of exploring nature on horseback. As riders mount their noble companions, a sense of anticipation builds. The rhythmic sound of hooves against the rugged trails reverberates through the air, creating a harmonious connection between rider and horse. 

As the sun sets on their memorable journey, the friends and their families gather one last time to reflect on the beautiful moments we shared during our trip to Mahabaleshwar. 

With hearts full of gratitude and cherished memories etched in our minds, we bid farewell to this enchanting destination. As we pack our bags, we don't only carry just the physical souvenirs, but also the intangible treasures of laughter, love, and togetherness. 

The bond between the friends and their families has grown stronger, and the trip has created a tapestry of shared experiences that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. As we depart, we know that this is not the end but rather the beginning of a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and love, as we continue to explore the world together, hand in hand. 

Mahabaleshwar will forever remain a symbol of our deep friendship and the unforgettable moments we experienced with the beauty of life in each other's company.

A Father-Daughter Adventure on Two Wheels

It’s a hot summer in Mumbai this year, with the heat wave clocking the temperature to 45 degrees Celsius. However, the promise of an adventure on a long weekend made the heat more bearable. On 20th May 2024, Election Day in Mumbai, we had to fulfil our civic duty by voting, so we decided to escape the city for a short ride on Sunday, 19 th May 2024. Our destination was Sinchian Lake, 74 km away. This was going to be a special trip, as it was my daughter Heer’s first long ride on a motorcycle with me without her mother. Gearing Up All geared up with riding jackets, helmets, elbow guards, knee guards, and gloves, we left at 4:00 p.m. to avoid the harshest heat. The Google map showed 74 km and 1hr 47 mins to Sinchian Lake in Maharashtra's Saphale, Palghar district. My only concern was Heer may feel sleepy during the ride, so we carried a Bluetooth speaker since she loves music. The Journey Begins   The journey began, and Heer was filled with excitement. We cruised at a comforta...

One Ride, Many Stories - My Solo Ride to Trimbakeshwar

A Journey with Metgezel It had been a long time since I embarked on a solo bike trip with "Metgezel," my trusty Bajaj Avenger Cruiser. The name Metgezel —Dutch for "companion"—perfectly captures the bond between a rider and their bike.  The day of the ride was special—it was Guru Nanak Jayanti and Kartik Purnima, although I only learned about their significance after reaching Trimbakeshwar. But before diving into the spiritual aspect, let me take you through the adventure.   The Day Before the Ride Every biker knows a long ride isn’t just about waking up and hitting the road. It’s a ritual to get ready with the riding gear—jacket, gloves, helmet, knee pads, and shoes—felt like a warrior's armour. My daughter, amused by my preparations, asked, “Pappa, whose wedding are you going to?” She missed the earlier scene where I was lovingly cleaning Metgezel!   The Departure: Mumbai to Jawhar Winter mornings make it tempting to stay in bed, but excitement nudged me u...

The Road Trip to Kutch, Gujarat

When boys are planning a road trip, the first image that comes to mind is often from the movie "Dil Chahta Hai." Ahh,   that’s for the bachelors. When married men plan a trip, it's more like "Biwi Kya Chahti Hai." 😉 If you're married, you've probably been in the same boat as we three were when we were planning our epic road trip to Kutch. Here's a photo of us three, posing at Khari Bet - from left to right: Brijesh, Nilay and Nikhil. We intentionally chose weekdays for our adventure to ensure empty roads and fewer crowds at the places we intended to visit. The journey began from Mumbai on a sunny Monday morning, with my trusty companion, a Hyundai i20. Day 1: From Mumbai to Samakhiali  We departed from Mumbai early in the morning, embarking on a drive of over 700 km, until we reached Samakhiali. Our overnight stay was at a Jain Temple, which, as it turned out, was a great choice for a comfortable rest stop. If you're planning to stay en ro...
