A day at an altitude of 1372 mts.
A close friend getting married in May. All of us very happy for her but same time emotional, sentimental, etc. etc. We girls decided to spend some quality time with her; hmmm actually we also wanted a change from our daily drudgery of life.
The day decided to njoy the SPINSTER status was 26th march’05.
4 of us packed our bags and took a state transport bus early morning. Within 3 hrs. the beauties were at the “Queen” of Maharashtra’s hill stations – Mahabaleshwar.
The place is favorite of both puneites and mumbaites. Also being holi on the same day it was too crowded infact all the hotels and resorts were full and a few which were not were too expensive. Finally after an hour-n-half we managed to get a place which suited our pockets also. After dumping our stuff and a heavy meal we booked a local taxi.
With the serpentine rides through the thick verdure we explored n number of valley viewpoints scattered around. There was one called monkey point and it’s said that you can see three monkeys on some hill around. We were struggling to c those but I wonder why when i already had 3 around me rt. from pune. Heehaw...
The spiritual experience for the day was the visit to the Panchganga temple where it is believed that water from five holy rivers comes out. The Bombay point also called the sunset point, a huge open space with a bandstand, was the most beautiful sight. I can never in my life forget the majestic view of the various shapes and shades of sunset I saw there. This was the time when I said to myself, Dee... every yr. atleast once u should come here to be with these beautiful shades…
By evening we returned to our room. After a wash and relaxing for a while the DEDICATED BARGAIN HUNTERS decided to go to the market place.
Was not really interested much so thought of draining my mobile battery and started to talk nineteen to the dozen till the time we went for dinner.
Hmmm after sauntering through those dusty paths finally time came to give rest to my holy feet...
