Peshwa Energy Park and Children’s Adventure Park When you feel that there is nothing much to see inside the Pune city, when you feel that going out of the city is time-consuming and tiring, when you feel that going to mall is an everyday activity, you must go along with your child to visit Peshwa Energy Park and Children’s Adventure Park near Saras Baug. Native Punekars have a lot of memories of this place which was once called ‘Peshwe Udyaan’ (Peshwa Zoo) which later got shifted to Katraj. For those new in Pune, please follow the Google Map for exact location. What would you get in Rs. 40? Go to any mall in Pune and the Car parking rates would be Rs. 20 or more. Visit Peshwa Park, and in Rs. 40 your child can enjoy unlimited adventure activities and games for the whole day. From rappelling to walking on the Burma bridge, from balancing yourself on different ropes to riding a bicycle on the ropes, from understanding the mass and inertia to understanding Pythagoras theorem, ev...

Sinhgad is too busy. Visit Nilkantheshwar. One of the must-see places near and around Pune, apart from the regular weekend visits to Shaniwar Wada, Aga Khan Palace, Katraj Zoo, Sinhgad fort and shopping malls, is Nilkantheshwar. We few are aware of this place near Panshet Dam. Dwelling in the lush green hills, surrounded by the silent, meditating water of Panshet Dam from one side, Nilkantheshwar is a temple of Hindu God Shiva. The word Nilkantheshwar means the one who digest the poison and in the process, whose throat turned blue. Nilkantheshwar is around 20 km away from Sinhgad. From Hadapsar, it is around 61 km away. The place has always been hidden as most of the tourists come in that locality especially to see Sinhgad, eat Jhunka Bhakri and Kanda Bhaji and drink cold Masala Taak there on Sinhgad. Before entering the Sinhgad from Donje village, take a right turn and continue your journey for next half an hour in the same straight line to reach Nilkantheshwar. As it is...

Being Human is a difficult task. Next to impossible. You have to unmask all the lies, Which were still invisible. You have to keep that religion aside That kept aside other humans for centuries. You have to keep yourself abide To be neutral. That's bravery! Don't be a critic of other religions. They would say, "He belongs to THIS religion". You have to have only one emotion. Love. You have to have only one nation. The earth. It's difficult to be a human. You have to be colourblind. You identify saffron, and you are HINDU. You know green, and you are MUSLIM. You bow to cross, and you are CHRISTIAN. and you don't do anything, you are 'IMMORAL'. You have to have eyes, That can see everything. The colourblind eyes. It's difficult to be human with eyes, that believe in 'An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind'. What it takes to be a human is impossibilities. The impossibility of being away from partial mi...

“Drishyam” - Don't Miss It Expectations are huge when a masterpiece already made in three languages and has been super hit, is remade in Hindi, and when you have National Award Winner power performers like Ajay Devgn and Tabu, expectations rise about the limit. Drishyam is Hindi is not only known for its base ‘The Devotion of Suspect X’ but also for the completely different treatment given to the dimensions of the characters by the lead actors.

If you have problems with our reservation, I would like you to take my position. Let’s exchange the castes and face the situation, And then tell me how is reservation. Eat a two days stale chapati and let me know How it tastes. Then you will understand, on this issue, not to debate. Get your caste changing certificate sanction. And tell me how is reservation. Don’t even do that. Just be foodless for some days, Just go in slum and stay there somedays, Take on your head Ambedkar and Phule, Let’s exchange the castes and face the situation, And then tell me how is reservation. Eat your ice-cream sitting in the AC room Why trouble the poor morning, night and noon? Give me your ice-cream, and take my stale food, Let’s exchange the castes and face the situation, And then tell me how is reservation. The credit you have to pay me will not be cleared in a day. The issue of reservation will not be solved in million days. To get a day’s food,...

We are still moist and we are still wet Sleeping from the last night though we need rest. The biggest achievement this heart has won, First time, it has fallen in love with someone. Our eyes are pouring rain inside it, The river is flooding beyond the corner of eyelids, There we are standing in the water of the ocean, The biggest achievement this heart has won, First time, it has fallen in love with someone. I still remember, You’re shivering eyes, When you woke up from sleep with lots of dreams I can still feel, you are sleeping on my lap, I am moving my fingers in your side locks. I am still living those moments we miss, Feeling your breath during our first kiss. I still remember the shadow of that  banyan   tree , Under which we shared our peanuts and bee I spent my night but I cannot sum, The biggest achievement this heart has won, First time, it has fallen in love with someone.

Philosophies – interesting when learnt, difficult when practiced and impossible when practiced in accidental situation. The very thought of being an atheist has made me weaker when I dreamt that my beloved wife is dead. I was crying throughout the dream and asking people and relatives around me: “Why was this meant to happen only to me?” or should I rephrase the words for the sake of being an atheist: “Why did this happen to me?” It was 3: 15 A.M. when I got up from my dream and THANKED GOD because it was just a dream. I held her in my arms and cried loudly. She tried to make me stop crying as she knew that I had seen a nightmare. She could understand what I had dreamt as I was constantly crying and asking her, “Promise me, you won’t leave me. I can’t leave without you. I am not so practical.” I could remember the dream. I was endlessly crying (in my dream) looking at people around me, and the very thought that my wife wasn’t there in the crowd of my relatives was making me r...
