Ok, I was going to name this post 'do din jannat me' or something on those lines, but some hindi films have distorted the word 'jannat' so much that I decided not to use it. But seriously folks, last weekend was literally a trip to heaven. Almost two years after graduation, we relived our engineering days.
It all started when Paresh informed us that he'll be in Pune over the weekend. Calls and mails at once began to flow. RaTo's room was decided as the meeting place. Saturday afternoon was dedicated to the 'Taang Kheecho' ceremony. This tradition has a long and colorful history and everyone was just waiting to participate. After enough was enough, we decided to go watch a movie and fitting with our Perfect Approach to Management, 'Westend' was selected as the destination. But when after hours of sweat and soil we finally reached there, we (to our horror) realized that it was showing 'Taare Zamin Par'. So the movie plan flopped. But one good thing (among others) about the camp area is the Landmark book store, found 'Metamagical Themas' there which I could not find anywhere else.
After spending most of the Saturday night in mandatory 'Taang Kheecho' and fights for bedsheets, it was decided that 'Mulashi' would be a good place to spend our Sunday. And after RaTo spoiled my tea with too much sugar, we headed off to Mulashi on Sunday morning. And as we approached Mulashi, we (Mukul, myself and Onkar) discovered that we did not had enough petrol to go ahead in Tamheni ghat (another example of our Perfect Management Style ;-)).
Mulashi is a stunningly beautiful location, any season you go there, you return re-energized. Just sit back and listen to the flowing water and you will listen to the secrets of the ages. Onkar clicked some beautiful snaps, ekdum pro-estyle. In the evening, watched 'Hyderabadi Bakra' on Pramod's room, which proved to be big disappointment. These guys have undone everything they got with 'Angrez'.
All in all, this was the best weekend in many months, much awaited and now much anticipated.

Hum rahe ya na rahe kal,
Pal, yaad aayenge ye pal..
