Adventures of Tikona

-
I always have been super-excited about an adventure trip / trekking atleast in theory. So finally God decided to give me an opportunity to experience my first ever trekking trip. To add to all the fun, the day we decided to embark on this journey I went down with high fever. :( But this is did not discourage my friends from persuading me to come along and I as usual just went on with the flow :)

We finally headed for Tikona with our expert trekker Jay with bags laden with biscuits, chips, chocolates and glucose. We were six of us on bikes and it was great fun ! :
Our first lap of trip got slashed by a bike skid..

This pic is just after the skid..... We crossed some really beautiful picturesque scenes.

Finally when we reached at the base of Tikona, I was super high with fever and too exhausted. But the freshness of the rustic village kept me going on.

This is where we had to reach :)

It was rainy season and the little path to the fort was very slippery but with dosages of glucose we managed to finally reached the top. This is what the view looked like
I know I should have written this lonnnnng back but better late than never. Remembering this trip brings back lots of sweet memories of the trip.
Hope there are many more trips like this in store for me :)

I recommend all bloggers in and around pune/mumbai or nearby areas to visit Tikona fort. It is a very easy level trek and probably can be start of a great adventure ;)

Things to do before/after swimming

-
When I decided to enter a swimming pool, the first thing I did was worry about my skin/health because of the after effects of swimming. Most of the swimming pools have chlorinated water. So to aid for beginners, here I provide a consolidated list of what to do/not to do to prevent skin/health problems- Before you enter a swimming pool 1. Don't eat anything atleast an hour before you go for a swim. Mixing chlorinated water with food can lead to upset stomachs. 2. Apply a good waterproof sunscreen/sunblock on all parts of body (even those which are not exposed). Even  very effective waterproof sunscreens will wash out in 20 mins of swim. Alternatively you can also apply moisturizer. Give it some time to sink in. 3. Take shower in the pool shower room before you expose your skin to chlorine. After Swimming 1. Take a shower with normal water/soap to remove the chemicals as soon as you get out of the pool. Wash your hair too if you are not wearing a cap. 2. Being in w

Meditate your way up life!

This morning I had a revelation ...again... ( I don't know how or why this frequency of wonder and gratitude has increased drastically in the past few months...probably my guardian angel has finally woken up from sleep :) ) I get coaxed a lot to meditate before going to bed...concentrate on breathing...focus on a singular thought...imagine a reverie... all this to reduce stress...get peace of mind ...blah blah and things like that....and me reacting like when you are forced to drink turmeric milk on sick days ! But this fine morning, my senses got better of me and I groggily agreed to do some deep breathing and just how beautifully this act turned out for me! I got up, opened my window pane wide and braced the early day breeze. So basically, I wake up to a view like this every day - which is not bad at all of course and the amount and intensity of air I get is paramount...I wish I could wake up early and store all the fresh unadulterated oxygen in a tank and use it in

Real Beauty (Party of IndiBlogger contest)

I'd been wondering about this since this opened up and every time I opened "new post" in my blog and wanted my fingers to come up with some beautiful sentences, I failed miserably and I silently signed out each time. I doubted if I ever could pen down what real beauty is . I should have known that I was a fool to think if I would ever be able to describe real beauty because its much more than what ever could be felt about, touched, seen, expressed, written, admired….its so much more than perspective of a single person. A pregnant lady is beautiful cause she’s carrying a new life inside her, nourishing her, protecting her and attempting to make her one of her own kind. An average poor lady working on roads, industries, mines is equally beautiful cause she is so courageously facing the world and earning her own livelihood and probably also for her family. She is independent and bold and free from all worldly double faced malice which makes her unique in her own sense.
