Door of My Dreams!

Weekend Oh Weekend! I missed you soo.... These are the thoughts every Friday eve, after living the 9to5 (or more precisely 10to6orLater) life. The plan for the weekend is simple. Rest. Rest has many forms. For some it is sleeping till late noon, for others lazing on the couch in front of a screen or even going out on a long drive.

My plans for the weekend are... well I never really have a plan for the weekend. Its always spend time doing nothing and hope that Monday never comes🤣. Sadly that never seems to work but I always hope for the best😉.

As usual my plan for this weekend was the same but then comes FamilyDooty (sounds so much better than - family duty). And alas I have to step out for some non-paid chore.

Travelling within Mumbai has become a nightmare especially by road thanks to all the "Work In Progress" signs. The only motivation for me to travel to work during the week is that I am getting paid for it but going out on a weekend, phew. Nevertheless, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. And so I put my foot on the gas pedal (more like vroom the accelerator handle) of the bike and off I go... (I wish I could say - to infinity and beyond) to traffic, pollution and hot sun.

When I was back home after 2 odd hours of listening to all the pee-poon, with grit spread all over the face, the only thing that I could think of was Doraemon. To be more precise, I so wished I had Anywhere-Door from Doraemon (For those of you who do not know what Anywhere-Door or Doraemon is - Fandom to the rescue - Check the Link).

Life would be so convenient. Just say the name of the place you wish to go to and open the door and Ta-Da! You are where you want to be. "One door to traverse them all".

If given the technology, resources and funding I would sure spend my time developing it but currently any form of teleportation is far from reality🙁.

For now I just wish that one of my descendants from the future happens to read this post and decides to pay me a visit and gift the Anywhere-Door😆. Until this happens let us all continue to live cribbing about the plight of traffic and be content with signs of "Inconvenience Regretted".

    "Beam me up Scottie," should be your motto. Loved the idea. Teleportation be it.

The One With The Coastal Ride

Image
It was 7:30 in the morning of 4th March, 2017 at Chandni Chowk, Pune. 22 people on 18 rides set out for a journey of different sorts. I was also there, like a ghost among the 22 different souls. Thirty minutes into the start and I was thinking, 'Did I make a mistake joining this journey? Do I make some lame excuse and go back home?' This trip was definitely out of my comfort zone. I had been on road trips earlier (with friends) but never on an overnight trip with 22 strangers. It was difficult, for an introvert like me. I need time to mingle up and a day was surely not going to help create that bond. Plus, this was going to be my longest bike expedition till date. But then I thought otherwise, 'It was the trip that I needed not that I wanted.' And then I went with the flow. It was only a week before when I saw this post from Mysterious Rangers that I decided I have to go for this. So I started asking my friends, if they would like to join? And one by on

Kasarsai Dam and Beyond

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Famous proverb, agreed by many, followed by few. Well, I'm one of those, who follows this from the heart. And I have my own version of it. It goes something like this No road trip, makes roy ma sad boy. Pretty lame, huh. If you have anything better, do mention it in the comments. So this time, I set out on a trip to Kasarsai Dam with my friend Zeyn . One does not always ride solo, cause even Han Solo is not solo. He always has Chewbacca for company. (For those who don't know Han Solo and Chewbacca, go watch Star Wars). And yes, me and Zeyn are like Han Solo and Chewie. Okay. Now coming back to the trip. I had been to Kasarsai a few times earlier as well. Its a pretty nice place - with a serene environment, the sound of lapping water, chirping of birds, wind blowing on your face and finally the pleasant view of the setting sun. Kasarsai in its glory.

Team Infy @ Alibaug and more...

This one is about the trip after I left Infosys. There are one too many trips that I have been in past 2-12 months that I have not written about, including trip to Manali. So, please bear with me. A good old saintly person by the name of Baba Roysonath once said - Better late than never . FaisalKhan02 My last day in Infy and Faisal Khan02 (my cubicle mate) asked me if I would be interested in a trip to Nagaon/Alibaug. I wasn't sure about it but I don't know why I agreed for it. Sometimes you don't think before you decide and this one was a similar decision. Next day at 5am I get a call that the bus is reaching in 15 minutes, come at the gate of the society. And I was still in bed, sleeping through the alarm, woken up by the call. Somehow I mustered strength to get out of bed, get ready, pack the bag and meet with others boarding from the same place. We were up before the Sun The bus which was supposed to reach in 15 minutes, did take quarter to an hour
