Pune & Back

We did a 2 day trip to Pune with a tight agenda.

I had to finish some office work, we had to meet my close friend Nandan & his family, stay at Snehal's uncle's place & attend Meenu (Snehal's close friend)'s wedding.

Since we had quite a bit to cover, we decided to drive down and boy is it fun to drive on the expressway. Its probably one of the few drives where you can push your car to the maximum. The greenery all along makes the drive even more enjoyable. And of course not to be missed are the pit stops to down a hot cuppa chai with hot vada pavs.

We first stopped over at Nandan's house and some amazing idlis with sambar & chutney and some lip smacking mutton curry with bread. Roopali was amazing with the food which she had cooked and given the conditions of their new house, it was nothing short of a miracle. I drove to finish my work while Snehal got her hair straightened. We met Nandan in the evening and after a few drinks & some amazing time with Roma we reached Aundh for the night.

We attended a pucca Maratha wedding and watched all the proceedings at close proximity. The bride was more shy & smiling from ear to ear all through. After a fantastic lunch, we started back for Mumbai wishing & hoping we could sleep for atleast an hour, a wish that remained unfulfilled but got us to Mumbai before sunset.
