The journey towards Mahabaleshwar started...via Pune -
Expressway...
Music was on, but a journey without Antakshari is like Sweets without Sugar…So Antakshari was started with loads of songs…And it was going
and going and everybody sang so many songs during the journey that songs were
getting repeated as we could not think of new songs…
Some went to sleep but our bus speakers were on…Only Me n
Driver’s eyes were open… ;)

But before that, as it was 26th Jan’15 – Republic
Day of our India…
We had to give respect to this day…so after checking out we
went towards the bus left our luggage inside and near the lake side we Sang our
National Anthem with our Indian Flag in hand…Felt proud to be an Indian and living
in a country where there are such beautiful places to explore around…

Started bus journey, We were in the City of Strawberries, so how can we forget those tasty, delicious, red strawberries fresh & direct from the farm. We stopped in between at one of the villagers farm and mostly everybody bought atleast 1kg. strawberries.
After that we explored Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani and shopping was in our To-Do List so Mapro Garden was the place to explore and do lots of
shopping…Everybody took around 2 hours to windup and again our bus journey
started…
It was time for Lunch but unfortunately we could not find restaurants
which could accommodate large group and serve us food fast…Finally after
searching for food joints we found one on highway and we filled our stomach. ;) :)
Again started our journey and music was on…But now it was
time for some other games to play and time pass. So decided to play Damsharas
which is another best game to play in groups during picnics and trips…
Back seaters were not interested to play and few slept and
we around 13 of us started to play. Two groups were formed and I was Jack /
Common in both groups because of odd number. Lots of movies were given to each
other and played for around 3 hours…than it was time for some Slow Music of
90’s and 00’s, Listening and Singing to these songs, did not realized when we
Reached Kharghar, it was only when we realized when the bus stop in the bottle
neck traffic of new toll naka at Kamothe…
It was time to say Alvida to all…And one by one everybody
got down on their near by destinations to reach home…
It was just the start of CARVAAN and there’s lot more
to come…
CARVAAN ka ek safar yahin khatam hua hai, par Carvaan phirse
chal padega apne agle safar par agle hafte…till than we will take rest. ;) :)
Thanking you all who joined our trip, trusted us and
supported us during the whole journey…
