Mumbai fun all thanks to.....

   We , my family went to Mumbai with our accompli-aces from cox town . Mukundappa , Jaya aunty Krishna and Amala . Right from the word go there was fun filled excitement from all quarters for everythin i wanted to do . Interlaced with my dad's Preachings of yogic principles and interpretations of the Bhagavath geetha it was manna for the soul , body and mind all the way .
    Mr and Mrs Soumen and little Aditi were our guides in the big bad unconquerable marathi heartland , most gracious hosts that they were . 
  Eating one of our greatest endevours as we tried to savour everything on the menu . Everybody gained a couple a kilos , no harm done . Trekking to the Dam(damn i forgot the name) in lonavala was undoubtedly fun , a little less than catching and passing around frogs in the derelict swimming pool . The " kids " also behaved , making our stay a rapture .


   The adventure with the gypsies had us excited like kids at christmas . The ladies were elated carrying kids' of the goats and posing for photos . The chai at the wayside tea shop was always fun with the lazy men swaggering in late most of the times . Amala's rapport for animals be it sheep , kid , dog , kitten , frog , puppy had me at a loss , so was Jaya aunties " powers of positive thinking " . This doesn't sound to bad " rock on jaya aunty !!  " does it ??

      
   We rented a taxi sometimes and butted ourselves into it , all 8 of us and in most cases with a moderlately large amount luggage . At the other times we had Mr Soumens Honda city thank God .
  The revelations of M uncles' adventures in his youth made me wonder a long time after he was done talking . I bow my head in awe and respect . 
  Krishna was the one who almost took offence for being called a kid . The other two were kinda lost most of the time . It was great having someone to really talk to . 
  A great excursion , all thanks to the pleasurable company we had . 
     when is the next one ?
