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.

The Yezdi That Carried Two Souls & One Childhood

It’s been forever since I wrote a blog, but this ride with Heer deserved its own place in words. There comes a moment in every father’s life when he looks at his daughter, realises she is no longer the little girl who once held his finger to cross the street, and his heart gently whispers, she’s growing up . Btw she is 12 so far, thoda emotional hogaya 😊 That moment came to me on a quiet Friday night, October 24, 2025, when Heer and I sat chatting after dinner, laughing at random things, and sharing stories the way old friends do. And it was in that simple, warm moment that a sudden thought turned into an adventure, our first long bike trip together. This wasn’t just any trip. It was the first expedition with the newest member of our family, the Yezdi Adventure . Though I had surprised Heer with this bike on her birthday and we had enjoyed a few short-day rides, this one was going to be our first overnight trip. A proper father–daughter escape. Just us, the road, and the Yez...

Ek Ride, Ek Sunrise… Aur Khud Se Ek Mulakaat

“Kuch safar destination tak nahi le jaate… woh humein thoda sa humse milwa kar wapas laate hain.” “Bhai, sunrise miss mat karna. Mountains ke beech se jo sunrise dikhta hai na, woh worth the ride hai.” I had been planning to visit Upper Vaitarna for some time, but this time there was a very specific reason behind the plan. A few fellow riders from my riding group had been there earlier, and they kept talking about one thing the sunrise.  That line stayed with me. Upper Vaitarna was almost a three-hour ride for me, which meant there was only one option if I wanted to experience that sunrise properly, leave ridiculously early at 3:30am. At that hour, the city would still be sleeping. Roads would be almost empty. And somewhere in the darkness, I would be riding towards a sunrise I had only heard about. Honestly, I didn't know whether the sunrise would really be that special. But I was curious. And sometimes, curiosity is all you need to start a journey. So, at 3:30 AM, while most of ...

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 are married, you have 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 route t...
