Konkan 2013

As I had said on Facebook, this trip does deserve a blog post. It has to be one of my longest trips. The last time I went so far away from Mumbai with more than 4 people was in 1997 when I went my mother’s native place Bandivade with my cousins.

The journey started on the night of May 7. I was travelling in a sleeper compartment for the first time. Like always even this journey was memorable. We had 4 confirmed tickets and 4 in the waiting list. Fortunately, we did not have not much trouble during the train journey, except for my back problem. 

Once the train reached Kudal, another surprise was waiting for us. During the journey, the train made a halt for around 5 min at every station (of course, everyone will always remember that the train made a longer than usual “halt” at the Panvel station for supposedly signal related issue). But at Kudal, the train started within 2-3 minutes with Viraj and Tejashree still in train. They had to jump off the train once they had dumped all the luggage of the train.

At Kudal Station

After Kudal, we reached Vengurla in half an hours time. We stayed at Susmit’s house for next 3 days till 12th May. On 12th five of us headed for Goa and were back to Vengurla on 15th May. We roamed around in the Vengurla taluka for next few days. Of course, last day was more eventful than any other day – with 2 of us deciding to board the 4 o’clock ST bus for Mumbai at 2.45!

All in all amazing experience. I will write about some interesting events during the trip soon.

Sawai Ekankika’ 2013

So this year I completed a hat trick of watching the finals of Sawai . Like the previous 2 occasions, this too was a great experience. Most of the plays were good and the overall performance level was better than that of the 2012 finals. Most of the plays were based social issues like parenting, cynicism among the middle class, etc. Unlike the previous finals, not a single one was of romantic/love genre. Here is the list of finalists- Nat S. M. R. T. We missed this one as we were late. But Viraj's father told us, this was similar to the play " Natasamrat " but a modern version. Emotional Atyachar This was a story of an employee in an e-CRM firm which is hired by clients so that someone can communicate with their family. These clients are too "busy" with their work that they don't have time to speak with their wife/kids/parents. The agent/employee E26 slowly starts getting emotionally attached with his clients' families. Finally, when he is about t...
