Floating clouds, green mountains, waterfalls, rain drops and cold wind in my hair, what else could i ask to make my Sunday perfect.I had a blissful encounter with heaven where nature was all set to sweep us off our feet.It was me, junu, neishaa, bhabhi and bhaiya and we were out on road for a weekend escape. Tired of the pollution in the city and kitchen at home, we just decided for a runaway.The rains had already boycotted but it could not deter our enthusiasm.
We just moved on the very favorite monsoon picnic place for Mumbai, "Lonavala and Khandala".
We were actually disappointed when we reached there as we saw the whooping crowd and the disappearing rains."God please send the rains!" exclaimed my little sis and we all said "Amen!" but God did not open his shower to wet our thirsty eyes.
We still managed with the cold breeze and tried to get us happy by titillating our taste buds with hot tea and bhajia.It was good but still did not have the power to rekindle our enthusiasm.
We then rushed back to our car in search of greener pasture till we reached resort named "Velvet Country". We were still full so we decided to go on for a walk.
We just moved a few steps and God sent our smiles back by sending a mild shower.Too little to wet the ground but good enough to wet our drying enthusiasm.
The liveliness was back and singing, laughing and teasing each other , we walked and walked and the ... we stepped into paradise.The scene was breathtaking.Clouds were sweeping across the mountains as if nature was slowly wrapping the earth with a white chiffon cloth. It was awesome and amazingly refreshing.
"Yeh dil mange more"! So we just moved on and on to reach as far as we could.I just closed my eyes and spread my arm to capture the freshness.We all were totally entrapped in the serenity of the site. My eyes have captured all the beautiful moments and stored them in my quick links.
Whenever i feel the heat of life/work getting on me, i just close my eyes, it gets the moments back in front of me and the freshness takes over.
Well, all the credit to click such beautiful snaps goes to my sweet sister Neishaa.We were just too lazy to carry our camera's.
Also, credit to my dear husband who has the instant formula to get the smile on my face.It just added on to the magic.
Also, bhaiya and bhabhi without whom this trip would have been incomplete :) :)
This day has already been saved in my "Sweet Memories" album ...
