Retro trips

So the theme is "Retro Trips". I have been into some places for which I want to share my experience because anytime while starting any of the trip, I found out many unknown friends who wrote the blogs and articles about the directions, road conditions, best time to go etc... which were of great help to me and my pals to reach our destinations. Although, second thought is to write something as my handwriting getting bad to worst day by day and the best thing to improve it is to write more and more... well you can connect handwriting with the typing speed now a days!!! So we are enough technical, we are enough cool to read/write the repeated things...

As far as my memory allow me to get a pic, our group covered almost all the places near to Mumbai & Pune and near means within the range of 500 KM. Although getting leaves is quite a task but thanks to our ex-managers (God Bless them all!!!) who knew since day one that we guys were not of any use and can't add any moral & social values to society and can only disturb other working people. Its fun to remember their relaxed smiley faces (like if you offer an ice-cream to a demon kid and s/he spread his/her torn lips) while asking for leaves especially on Fridays and Mondays...

While the first trip was being start with the royal feel, an A/C cab with driver etc., eventually we figured it out that if we continue like that, we need to ask for money from our home on monthly basis. So since next time, we hooked on our bikes, with fake posters of R100, dukati on those man made creatures and enjoyed. Later on somehow one guy managed to save some money by doing huge cost cutting in his daily expenses and brought a 10 years old Maruti Zen. Trust me, that was like a wonder car for us and she did all the good things to us. It was a great feeling like a king in his chariot irrespective of she was too old to carry 5-6 guyz, but at times we made her so strong to do so...

Okay, so below is the list in my mind I am thinking to cover in next blogs on the basis of what I can recall...
