10 Ways to Enjoy Rains (in Mumbai)
Below Rain post by one of my best friends, Sudi!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rainy season is considered to be a non favourite amongst a lot of people, but for a true mumbaiite, its the season of fun, love and a lot of activities. Here's giving some simple tips on how to make this season a truly memorable one.
01.
Always carry an umbrella, those wind cheaters dont work in Mumbai rains. And dont use it, unless some cute chick needs it. U can always be 'the man'.. at the right place...at the right time. Using a umbrella during heavy rains is an Art too :)
02.
Travel by Bus or rickshaw if u want to really enjoy the rains. Trains can kill ur excitement and cabs will make u crave for it (with closed windows)... unless u are with a special someone :)
03.
Take a long walk at Marine drives or Worli Seaface preferably eating a Corn (Bhutta) or maybe get drenched and enjoy some hot Onion Bhajiyas (Kanda bhajiyas) with Cutting Chai. Even Coffee is an good option.
04.
For people who dont know wot chai and coffee is :), YES hard drink..it is. They never seem so good in any other season. The best option is to have Scotch or Old Monk Rum (Naah.. NO smirnoffs and bacardis plz...they dont even stand close to an Old Monk)
05.
Its is the season where u eat a lot and sleep a lot. Best food to have during rains are fast food and Chinese...and to some extent indian(dhaabas only). Coz they r available everywhere. Avoid eating from roadside and fall ill. This is certainly not the season to fall ill.
06.
Holidays are a MUST in this season. So take whenever u want. U r one lucky ass if u travel by trains, or live in the central side of town. Reasons like 'Trains are not workin' , 'King Cirle / Hindmata is flooded' (which always happen.. even if 4 dogs pee there together...its a 29 yr experience..trust me) , 'My area is flooded'... are some of the reasons u can always use. But USE WISELY too ;)
07.
Its also the season for TREKKING and HIKING. Plan Almost all weekends for some outdoor activity. Trust me maharashtra is jaw droppingly awesome during rains. Some common places are Lohagad, Peb Ghad, Harish Chandra Ghad, Kamshet, Raigad etc etc.
08.
If you arent the one who wants to move out of ur couch at home, then best option is to call friends home and watch some Old hindi movies of Hrishikesh Mukherjee or Basu Chatterjee movies or some Classic old English movies. Liquor is a Must. Even Ghazals or Jazz or Soft Rock suits the Ears.
09.
I dont support Smoking, but for all those who just cant leave it, (just like i cant leave alcohol ;))...just pile up ur stocks. Cigarette Smoking is so much fun during rains...and its a must specially when u r drenched totally. Other 'smoke items' are heaven too ;)
10.
Rains and Chicks go hand in hand. They look ultra sexy during this weather... some magic i must say. No wonder a lot of people fall in love in this season. Some of the best places to be during rains in Mumbai..for some 'eye treatment' are Colaba/ VT/ Marine Drives, King Circle/Sion, Chembur, Vashi, Worli(Atria Mall)/ Lower Parel(Phoenix Mall)BAndra ofcourse, Khar/Santacruz, Vileparle, Andheri(west), Malad/Goregaon(central mall), Borivli( IC Colony). If u aint in any of these, u r missing a lot of stuff..and u deserve to leave Mumbai for good.
You are welcome to add your own lil tips too along with these. Enjoy.
Stay Safe. Cheers.

त्रिदल
ऑर्कट्वरच्या एका मित्रानं आशा बगेंचं "त्रिदल" वाच असं सुचवलं. आणि त्यानंतर बर्याच दिवसान्नी ते ग्रंथालयात सापडलं. अगदी पहील्या पानापासून ते शेवटच्या पानापर्यंत पुस्तक मस्तपैकी बांधून ठेवतं. साधारण ४-५ महीन्यांनंतर पुस्तक वाचलं हे... त्यामूळे मजा आली. बाकी आशाताईंनी अशा प्रकारे ते लिहीलयं की विचारुन सोय नाही. मस्तच लिहीलयं.
शारदा, श्रीनिवास आणि मंजू ही या कांदबरीतली प्रमुख पात्रं. पुस्तकाचं प्रत्येक पान शारदेनं व्यापलेलं आहे. शारदेचा स्वभाव जरा हेकेखोर, शांत आणि थोडा लहरी! हाच स्वभाव तिला स्वतःला जखडवून ठेवत असतो, तिला माहित असूनही! तिचा नवरा - श्रीनिवास, तिला शेवटपर्यंत साथ देतो, तिचा स्वभाव असा असूनही! मंजू - श्रीनिवासची बहीण आणि शारदेची कॉलेजपासूनची मैत्रीण, हिच्या मूळे शारदेचं पात्र जास्तीत जास्त वाचकापर्यंत पोचायला मदत होते. या तिघांविषयी जाम लिहावसं वाटतयं, पण मी का लिहू?? ते तुम्ही वाचा! (हाहा!!! मी शारदा झालोय का??)
माणसाचा स्वभाव कसा असतो आणि तो कालपरत्वे कसा बदलतो हे या कादंबरीत उत्तमरित्या आलयं.
अनायसे खुप काही शिकल्यासारखं वाटलं.

HTMLs!!!
HTML - hyper text markup langauge!!
what a tedious job this is.. isnt it!!! but sum guys have taken this as their professional.. n having mastery on it.. Dont know how these guys manage to do HTMLs n coding!! Ridiculous!!! :D
Once there was lack of resources n i was doing the changes on a site.. The changes was changing a word / replacing a word throughout the site.. i know, u are thinking of just find the word n replace it with the another word.. but Situation was not that much easy. But was critical!! the problem was not getting solved just by finding n replacing it! i opened each n every HTML.. find the word n replaced it. i did that atleast of 15-20 pages!! :((. The very first time, i find how responsible job this is!!! For website design company, HTMLisers plays a great role. HTMLs are bridge between designs and browsers! Our designs got a window just because of HTMLs n good HTMLisers! We cant just design n release it for web. For a better site, proper HTMLs are essential. NO options!!
Anyways, the reason behind writing all this is..
last thursday, we have "HTMLs n it's problems" discussion topic at AnD meet. Naim, Ravish n Amit handled this. It was a great session. All spoke well.. n it was a great learning. They shared their views, thoughts, problems, solutions with us! There was a question-answer session also n very last question was asked by Abhishek (one of our sr. animators) n that was very amazzing..
He asked, "Why u likes to do HTMLs?" what a question this is!!! Who will take this tidious job as a profession?? But a reply we get on this is very mind blowing.. n truely winner! On this question Amit replied, " Do u like to solve quizes n puzzles??" Answer from our end was obviously "YESS!!". then Amit said, "here is our answer. we also love to solve quizes n puzzles.. n we just take this a profession. Your designs + forthcoming programming is quiz for us.. n we try to solve it in our ways.. through coding!!!"
What a brilliant answer!!!
meanwhile, check out Amit's latest status msg. on G-talk.. interesting!!! isnt it??

बांदेकरांचा "पपॉमन्स्" !
हा ले़ख अख्ख्या महाराष्ट्राचे भावोजी "आदेश बांदेकर" यांच्या नावावर!!
धमालच आहे! मला यांचे बोलणं जाम आवडतं!! "एकापेक्षा एक" मध्ये तर ह्यांचा "पपॉमन्स्" रॉकींग असतो! हो!! खरंच! त्यांना "परफॉर्मन्स्" हा शब्दच बोलता येत नाही. हवं तर "एकापेक्षा एक" बघा एकदा खास यासाठी! उगाचच आपण जास्त फेंडली (फ्रेंडली) आहोत, असा आव आणून सर्व स्पर्धकांशी बोलणार! त्यात खवचटपणा किती असतो, ते चाणाक्ष प्रेक्षकांना सांगायला नको! अगदी म्हागुरुंना सुध्दा!!
बायका जरा खाष्टच असतात असं ऍकून आहे! पण त्या सूध्दा यांना प्रत्युत्तर का देत नाहीत ते कळत नाही! मात्र "एकापेक्षा एक" च्या सेलिब्रीटी भागामध्ये अमॄता खानविलकरने एकदा चमत्कारच केला होता! हिचा "पपॉमन्स्" झाल्यावर यांनी तिला काहितरी विचारलं आणि त्याला उत्तर देण्याऐवजी ती चक्क त्यांना म्हणाली, "ते राहु द्या हो! आधी ज्युरींचं मत ऍकू या!" ते ही अगदी हात झिडकारुन! मला जाम मजा आली ते पहायला! म्हंजे कोणीतरी सापडला होता! :)
"पपॉमन्स्" झाल्यावर, उगाचच एखादा बिनडोक प्रश्न! "कसं झालं?", "का झालं?", "१००% दिलं असं वाटतयं का?" इ. उत्तरं तर यांना स्वतःलाही माहीत नसतात आणि कधी कधी तर समोरचा काय बोलतोय, याकडे दुर्लक्ष देऊन सरळ ज्युरींचं मत! ज्युरी आणि म्हागुरुंचं वक्तव्य चालु असताना यांचा चेहरा पहावा... नेहमी बारा वाजलेले!!!
एकदा पाहूणी कलाकार म्हणून कोणीतरी लहान मुलगी आली होती, तिचा "पपॉमन्स्" झाल्यावर, हे आले आणि यांनी तिला उचलून घेतलं आणि नेहमीप्रमाणे काहीतरी खवचट प्रश्न टाकला आणि त्यानंतर त्यांना कळलं की, अरे! हीला जास्त वेळ उचलून घेऊ शकत नाही आणि तसं केलं तर मग माईक कोण पकडणार? मग त्यांनी तिला उतरवलं आणि मग ते बसुन बोलले! त्यात ही नेहमी प्रमाणे, त्यांनी तिला उगाचच इकडचे-तिकडचे प्रश्न विचारले आणि नंतर काहि न सुचल्यावर, माझ्या आई मला माफ कर! असं बोलून थांबले!
अजून एक, कोणाला ही "पपॉमन्स्" साठी बोलवल्यावर, एक टुणकन् बेडूक उडी मारतात ते! म्हंजे या वाक्यानंतर, "आणि आता आप्ल्यासमोर येत आहे.. अमूक गावची तमूक" आणि लगेच छोटीशी बेडूक उडी मारुन स्क्रीनबाहेर!
असो! बांदेकरांविषयी कोण कधी लिहील का ते माहीत नाहि! विचार केला की आपणच सुरुवात करावी! :)
भावोजी रॉक्स! "टाळ्यांच्या कडकडाटात त्यांचं स्वागत करु या!"
ता. क. : मला हा ले़ख फक्त बांदेकरांचा "पपॉमन्स्" ह्या शब्दोच्चारामुळे लिहावसा वाटला. "किंबहुना" त्या शब्दोच्चारानेच भाग पाडलं म्हणू या!
अजून एक ता. क. : हा ले़ख काही कारणास्तव मी पूर्ण टाकला नव्हता. पण कालचा / आजचा त्यांचा "पपॉमन्स्" पाहुन तिडीक गेली, डोक्यात आणि परत ही पोस्त टाकली!! भावोजी माफ करा! पण जे आहे ते आहे आणि ते तुम्ही स्वतः सुध्दा नाकारु शकत नाही!
