3 times in one month

Have visited this spot three times in one month, made friends with the Gola walla, and basically cannot wait to go there as many times as possible. It's a local hangout for the couples from school, but it's exactly an hour's drive from the city. You can go down into the valley only when its not raining.

Going down is great, you follow a rivulet till you bump into a pool. There are a couple of tough parts en route, but the pool is worth it.



A slight drizzle, a re-assuring sun that dried you up whenever you got wet, a natural pool to lounge about in, and the sounds of flowing water mixed with the various birds of the Sahyadris. Feels good man. Not the sound of flowing water though, that gets irritating after about four hours. Went to sleep half in the water half out. Had a "feelsgoodman" moment when I woke up. Of all the things I have woken up under, this rock had something going - was the best sight to wake up to so far.

The bed on the top of the mountain

A two hour bus ride away from Dadar station, just before Lonavala, is a small lane off the main road, that leads all the way to Rajmachi. Rajmachi is a strange name as it stands for not one but two forts, and a village. This one is one of the more popular trekking spots in Maharashtra. Right on top is a three star hotel, two tanks, and a few houses that even have solar power. In one of these homes, is an ancient wooden bed, which was the cause of all the fuss.
There was a group of seven people, coming all the way from Bombay, and a few of them were quite a mess.The rains had soaked all the possessions of at least three of them. One fellow had torn footwear, and nothing to wear. Someone lent him a pair of spare slippers that were not meant for the rugged trekking at all. This fellow had a few cuts on his leg, but not hurt or tired any more than the next guy, he just felt he was.
There was another group of three people, and old man, and two kids. They were relatives of the people who stayed in the village on top, and had come all the way from Pune.
Right on top, was this warm house, with a stove that was busy with food. Bhakri, vegetables and dal were served to everyone, along with some papad and pickle. Everyone ate together, all the residents of the house, and the twelve odd guests who had saught shelter.
The thing was, after a healthy meal, and certain diversions for devious activities (the old man offered rum to everyone, everyone refused, and he promptly got drunk), everyone eventually came around to feeling sleepy. Now the smart trekkers had gotten along carrymats for the night, and plenty of insulation and spare clothing. There were some who were pretty damp, and shivering a bit, cursing the lack of footwear, and bleeding a bit from here and there. There were also some who were shit drunk and pissed. Ok, just one of each, no prizes for guessing. The thing between them, was a warm, comfortable, solid wooden bed.
Im just noting down something that was almost an incident, that happened the last time I went to Rajmachi. Going there again tomorrow, and new things might happen that will make me forget all about this. Who got to sleep on it? Well, the old man used to sleep on the bed every time he went there, and the place was owned by his brother's son. But the wailings of an amateur trekker from Mumbai getting a reality check on losing a few of his precious comforts in life won against the protests of a pissed drunk old d00d from Pune sleeping over in his nephew's place. I raged. Another trekker cleverly maneuvered himself next the the guy who thought he was hurt bad.
Ah well, I don't really care, and so shouldn't you. In fact, you probably have better things to do, so move along now. Day after tomorrow night, if everything goes well, I will be asleep on that bed.

Startled Giraffe

You want to hear a story? A Hippo and a Deer wander into Timberland park, and they decide to sit on a see-saw. The Hippo is heavier than the Deer, so they cannot really play. The Hippo then decides to try the slide, and he startles the Giraffe and the Zebra, who are standing right next to the slide. They watch his weight come sliding down towards them, and the Giraffe, Zebra and Deer scatter. Then the Hippo waddles into a pool. After a while, he tries the swing. The Zebra and Giraffe laugh at him, while the Deer looks on waiting for his turn, then the Deer sits on the swing, and the Hippo pushes it so hard that the Deer goes flying. This is when the Giraffe get's startled.

BTW, true story bro

kvartalnu7x: Alright listen up, the Americans went to the moon then confused everyone about what they did there, and then made it look like it was doubtful if they ever went there in the first place. You tell me one thing, there is no oxygen on the moon, how did the explosions happen?
Frumenzion2: What explosions?
kvartalnu7x: All the explosions on the moon. There are buildings and vehicles just strewn around, and they all exploded. How did that happen when there was no oxygen there?
Frumenzion2: I think an oxy-acetelene torch would light up there
kvartalnu7x: Yeah, and they go on vacations to the moon
Frumenzion2: How do they go there?
kvartalnu7x: In their shuttles... they have so many of them
Frumenzion2: I thought they had only four, and a few of those blew up as well
kvartalnu7x: No, no, they go there, say couples, or families, and the shuttle stops near the moon, then they get off, bounce around for a bit, you know, and then get back in and fly back. That's what all the rich people are doing.
Frumenzion2:

---later---

kvartalnu7x: Ok, think of all the galaxies out there
Frumenzion2: Yeah, I've thought of them many times
kvartalnu7x: yeah, and each of them have so many universes
Frumenzion2: :speechless:
kvartalnu7x: You know, like the sun, and all the planets, are one universe, there are four universes like that in our galaxy, and there are so many galaxies out there. Every star that you see is actually another universe itself.
