Trip to Lonavala..

Sorry for posting so late.. Sunday did not come online and then was too busy.

Well to start with the timings did not match with what was given in the itinerary. We were suppose to leave Mumbai by 6 but instead left at 8. Then there were many halts in between, so by the time we reached there it was already beyond 10.30..
The first destination was Bushi Dam. And it was the last one also. Well you know how difficult is to manage 80 people specially when many of them are first time visitors. We spent 3.5 hrs at the same place and almost all of them went up the mountain for the waterfall.

Let me talk about the climate. It was mind blowing. Visibility was very low. Not only near the mountains but also in the actual city. That was something new for me even if I have visited that place for almost 20 times. That made my day.

Then at around 2.30 pm we left bushi dam to fill our stomachs. We went straight to Ram krishna restaurant, the most famous in that hill station. Then waited for nearly 2 hrs for others to finish their lunch. Set out from lonavala at around 6 pm and stopped in between, before expressway, for others to enjoy the near zero visibility on the road. Some mumbaikar even mentioned it as Khandala. :-D

Forgot to mention that all this time it was continuously raining out there. And the same thing was happening back home. So that took time for us in reaching back home. Took some advice while return journey and instead got down at Bandra as it was raining heavily and all over the western expressway there was major traffic jam.

In the end nothing was planned as per the itinerary, but I enjoyed the best climate in Lonavala. Not to mention making some cool friends on the return trip and the heated discussion among we lukkha's about one year planning in NMIMS. This discussion might seem illogical for the others in the batch but mind it, hearing the discussion could have given the greatest scholar/nerd the shock of his life.

Cia folks. Will post about new adventure soon, only if it happens.

Review of Everest Movie..

This is the movie I told you on Thursday. The EVEREST. Its a nice emotional movie and a good Harvard case study to support its findings.

I wont discuss the movie here. You can find the same movie here

What you must know the attached Harvard case study is more important then the movie. Sorry I couldn't find the movie on the net, but you can buy it out here

What followed was a 5 hour discussion on the same case study. Unnecessary 5 hrs were sent evolving around the same topic. The fruitful part was in the first one hr and the last half an hour of the class.
If you get time please do watch the movie. Its really nice and tells us a lot about Mount Everest and the surviving conditions out there.

Sorry its late and I am feeling sleepy. Will update more about the Lonavala trip tomorrow.

Movie Time again..

Well this movie was with friends.. Did you really expected NM showing 2 films in 2 days.

Movie: Ice Age 3
Time: 3.30 pm
Date: 03-July-2009 (yesterday)
Location: Movie Time [HUB - Goregaon east]

Hilarious, awesome, 1.5 hrs of non stop fun.. What could I say.. These are the words by which you can express the ratings of this movie..
Its a must watch for all age groups.

The favorite dialogue is when Sid tries to steal some milk from the buffalo and instead pull his whinny, "I thought you were a female" :-D

The character of Scart still evolves in a parallel story and finally in the end he losses his beloved acorn. You should watch the first 2 parts to actually understand the characters in this movie.

Watch the review of this movie here

Waiting for the first trip with NMites..

Yes, you heard it right. My first trip with my new batch mates in the second week itself.

You all can't imagine how eagerly I'm waiting for this hell of a joy ride. Total 80 people have registered and 2 buses have been booked.

Stats for Nerds:

- We reach Lonavala first and hit MTDC Karla Boating immediately thereafter..

- Then we spend some time at Bhushi Dam.. (supposedly, a kick-a$$ turf...)

- Moving on, we also have some major trekking plans..

- Pushing off from Lonavala at around 3-ish, we move on to rock Khandala.....!!!! (ya, u heard it rite....) :P

- Back again to Aamchi Mumbai, we also plan some crazy stuff in the bus (in house-ishtyle...!) Reach Mumbai at around 7..

- Looks like a great plan to me.. Hope u guys love it and eagerly wait for my new post

Fail not to comment me back on this post or the post on Sunday.
And of course the post will be updated here as well as on my other blog.

Cia soon.

Movie Time...

Today was a movie day. I mean not movie outing with friends but something officially from NMIMS. Yup its a part of one of the case studies that we are being doing from the past 2 weeks.

Movie Name: Everest
Its the life story of Tenzing's son (the first person to climb Mount Everest) and this team who tried successfully to climb the highest mount again. Of course Jamling was the first one, but there was another guy who had done it 3 time before. You can check out about that movie here
Its really good. Hope you get time to watch out.

The boring part was to go to college for just this one hour. Anyways I don't mind until friends are around.

I don't know what will we discuss for the case tomorrow, but I surely know that it will be an interesting one. Will update you all tomorrow of the progress.
