Exquisite moments at Yeoor hills

 


Today, I thought of taking break from normal routine of Sunday and do something for self. Then thought of why not to go on a drive … in minutes plan was ready. I and one of my friends, we were on road and took my 9 years old Mahindra Verito (I love to drive this vehicle) for a short trip to Yeoor hills (about 30 kms)

Yeoor hills used to be one of my favorite travel destinations along with my family and friends when I had recently moved to Mumbai due to calm ambiance and peaceful environment. Loads of memories.

Now, it has become crowded but I still liked the visit to this place. Last time, I visited this place was about 3 years ago. After spending sometime in hills. We went to Exotica restaurant as usual, to have our lunch. Surprised see same same security guard, some other staff still working at the restaurant and a warm welcome received!

A great lunch starting with a nice lemon coriander soup and to end with my favourite dessert - sizzling brownie. While waiting for lunch to be served, I enjoyed watching fishes in micro pond enjoying their time on the Sunday afternoon.

One thing is clear that I have now identified one more hobby that I can adopt apart from gardening and cooking. I next few blogs will definitely be on road trips and travels!

Having a great Sunday. Feeling rejuvenated!

Health is Wealth

Image
Recently when I was sick, I could really understand the meaning of 'health is wealth'. One does not at least I could not realise seriously why it is important to take care of health. I have never been so frightened about health before I spent my Diwali night in a hospital. Probably, first Diwali when I was not with my children.  There will be sympathy for you (some are genuine) though very short term. I realised to put the health first, family first. This time my parents were with me during Diwali as they generally stay in my home town. Oh God! I missed the really precious moments spending time with my parents - a rare occasion, which I am going to miss for a very long time. While in hospital, I was thinking of my work but soon I realised someone will replace me at work but the family is going to miss me if something untoward happens. It is an art how one withdraws from work during family time. What I do for living one thing but what I do to live another thing but more importan

A Trip to Nandankanan Zoological Park

Image
After a long time, I visited Nandankanan along with my sons Sai (16 years old) and Sannibh (8 years old though he insists that he is 9 years old), it was really fun to spend quality time with kids. Specifically when you stay in large cities where travel time consumes good part of your life in my case approx. 32 days of a year in travelling (I travel by car). Seriously, I spend 1 out of 12 months in travelling. Let me come back to the subject, though we stay very near to Nandankanan but rarely find time to take kids to Nandankanan due to many excuses. This time when I am travelling to Bhubaneswar, I was clear in my mind, I will take them to Nandankanan. Sai had visited at a very young age and Sannibh had never visited to Nandankanan. We purchased entry tickets, a guide (Manoj - young local fellow) escorted us and then the journey starts to cover 9 sightseeing points. It was hot but we were super excited as it was father and sons time after a long period. There are 12 seater BOV (Battery

Mallu's Corner

Every weekend I and one of my friends have breakfast at this South India small tiffin centre. The owner cum chef has also started recognising us loyal customers. My favourite is 'onion dosa' with some juice, which we get it from nearby shop. There are few learnings from 'Anna' as we call him. 1. Every customer is important . He ensures that every customer is given due attention. He will surely make sure to check with customer in case anyone feels unattended. He somehow recognises the same. 2. He does not use a computer or a note book to take the orders but ensures to maintain deliver the order including tele orders one by one without reminder and flawlessly with good number of footfall. This essentially means that these external aids are actually stopping us to use our memory power to the fullest .  How many of us used to have mobile childhood back in 80's - none but we used to memorise landline numbers. With the advent of mobile phone book - we hardly remember anyo
