A Time To Reflect

charukesi March 22nd, 2005

Have recently shifted house - to Vashi in New Bombay - owning your own home is truly is a high in life… and for once, I did not crib about the packing and moving… And once the dust started settling (literaly in my case, since construction work is still going on all around my house), we got itchy feet and found ourselves looking for weekend places around here.

Hit Uran beach one Saturday evening. Uran, like all Bombay beaches, is dull and dirty - but any place away from the hustle of Bombay is good for a short while… Luckily for us, the sun was just setting and the beach was desolate but for a few vendors in one corner… And sunsets can be quite magical…

And the next day, we hit NOCIL hill, a small hillock close to Vashi - and again caught a breathtaking sunset from the top…

Hard to imagine this is just an hour away from Bombay and so close to Vashi… the perfect place for a peaceful evening, just mein aur meri tanhai…

We had been told to look out for the small idol of Ganesha on top of the hillock - this is the ‘idol’ - sure enough, God is where and how you see him (oops, or is it her?!)
