#16 Partying in Hong Kong

From living in the Presidential Suite in The Peninsula, to driving around in a limo and enjoying The Venetian in Macau, this trip was planned out of the blue. I was still in Gondia when Papa called and asked if they should book my tickets too. I took emergency leave from the school,  left the same day and spent a week traveling in Hong Kong and Macau.

The Limo!

Shopping in The Venetian

Dancing, live music and lots of fun at Lan Kwai Fong

# 15 Beauty in Bhedaghat

Gondia is a dead city. There is just one Sagarika and one Gateway to go to for an outing with friends. There is also Kesar- a shady bar where I would not like to go again. So when we had a weekend to ourselves without any flying and ground school, we decided to explore a bit.
Bhedaghat is 250 km from Gondia and a 4-5 hour long road trip. We left around 4 am and by 4- 15, we had already stopped in the middle of the road due to fuel starvation in one of our cars :P
As we neared our destination, via Balaghat and Jabalpur, we contemplated the fact that it is pre-monsoon season- the river might be completely dry. But that wasn't the case. 
We reached our hotel- Vrindavan Gopala, right atop the Dhuadaar waterfall and came face to face with a beautiful view.

The view from the cable car.

The boat ride which left us speechless. The funny commentary and the names of the various movies shot around this area, including that one song from Ashoka.

The waterfall. Up close :D

# 14 Bollywood Land- Mumbaiiii!

February 2015

I went to Mumbai for an exam- I hardly had one full day to explore the city. 

I still managed to work my way around the cliches of the city, except Bandra, the real Bollywood land :P

I did manage to find myself in the middle of Kala Ghoda festival. It was crowded and okay type; not my kind of place. 

When the taxi driver asked me by which road he should take me to South Bombay, I liked the line on Google maps which said Sea-link!

The Gateway of India!

Watching the sunset at the Marine Drive :)

#13 Lone Ranger- The Railways

It is a long journey home from Gondia. First a 2-hour train journey to Nagpur, then a half-hour auto journey to the airport and then a 1-hour wait before the 1.5-hour flight to Delhi. And this repeats on the way back in reverse order and continues every month.

But travelling in the Indian Railways is fun. It is like the real India. Travelling to Bhopal on an overnight journey in the sleeper class was a different experience altogether. The smell of the human waste on the tracks, the sound of the announcements, hoping for no delays on your train, the crowd pushing around to get out and to get in- train journeys were a long lost experience for me. 

#12 Aati kya Khandala?

August 2014
2 months after Varun shifted to Pune and 1 month before I shifted to Gondia- a last family trip together.

Papa and Me- soaked in the rain

The bhutta time- and when Ginni didn't realise he had a monkey stuck to his leg.

The last remaining Grovers!

#11 And it's Snow Again!

Manaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
After watching Highway, such a trip was much needed.
Last year of college, the best trip yet.
Old love, new love, revived friendships, gossips and a hell lot of fun!

Rented bikes on the mountains! #RoadiesFeel

Now the song Katiya Karu will always remind me of this time
