My Best Monsoon Ever

Whatever i have planned, never happens in my life bcoz Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans. 
So as usual on a very lazy Sunday morning we(roomies) just waked up and thought of going to nearby place for timepass.But undoubtedly it happens to be the best place i have ever visited in Mumbai, the one and only Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
We just started after taking our lunch and all of us along with few friends gathered at the National Park waiting for Shreyi to join. We just entered and what we saw was an altogether different world, the world of Greenary. As we move along we discovered an Old Machan ( the one which is used by the hunters for hunting) , where we just climb with the help of bamboo stairs and take some snaps ( which is there in the slideshow) . We just move ahead in search of Caves which we have planned to go, when suddenly it started raining which we njoyed fully along with the swings of Banyan trees. 
But as we never thought of the fortune which we are carrying on that day,we came across an amazing river inside that jungle, and we were not able to stop ourselves to enter into that flowing water.
We njoyed playing in that water, throwing water on each other and had taken lots of gorgeous and unforgetable snaps. And the time passed so quickly playing in that water that we forgot to go the Caves also. No one is ready is come out of that, but the time was moving and we had to forcefully specially Malik( friend) to come out of that. We just has some Kakadi(Cucumber) after as we came out of that river. We just walk back woth some good ( the good time we had njoyed and lot of other that needs to be discovered) and bad ( not satisfied with time we got to njoy there) things. As we move out of National Park, we has some hot tea and cramy biscuits.
So all in all it was an unexpected, unplanned tour but a perfect package which we never thought of.
Check out the photos in the slide show of this trip.

Trip to Tirupati

It was one of my greatest trip to visit Lord Tirupati Balaji.
I, Malik(Vikas) and Malkin left for Tirupati Balaji on 31 Dec and for the first i celebrate my new year in India's one of the costliest vehicle ( Train ).We reached Tirupati with the hope that God will make arrangement for us to stay there in Tirupati city and really God has send his messenger in the form of Uncle ( who played an important role in getting the shelter and darshan of Tirupati ). On 2nd we left for Tirupati darshan to Tirumala which is nearly 20km from Tirupati city.Tirumala is place(mountain) where Lord Tirpuati is residing and this mountain is surrounded by Seven hills ( Saptgiri ). The way of full of greenaries and looks like heaven for us.On reaching there i had done my Mundan and we had Tirupati Darhshan till 12 noon. Then we went to Papvinasham(Dam made on the mountain) and Akashganga(beatiful waterfalls). On the same day we have also taken darshan of Padmavati(wife of Lord Balaji) temple which is located in Trichanoor. On the next day we left for Ganesh Temple located at Kanipakkum ( 50 km from Tirupati).After Lord Ganesha's darhshan we left for Sripuram located near to Vellore ( Tamil Nadu ) to have Mahalakshmi Darshan.The temple was so beautiful that we never thought to left from there. The temple was fully made of Gold therefore also called as Golden Temple.
