Mumbai halt

I reached exactly at 8:00 hours at CST terminal 2 on dated 17th may 2018 and had  exit through P6 and telephoned to Anil who was already at P8. He came down to P6 and we both went  upstairs to be P8 and caught his vehicle. I got shocked at the very  first instance on seeing a parking fee of rupees 220 at CST2.
    As morning time was pleasing at Mumbai and without much crowd on roads, Anil decided to take me first of All to the" Siddhivinayak mandir" for darshan. We reached within 15 minutes there and I was lucky that there was no much crowd inside the temple and some  special Marathi tactics in talks by anil with lady guard there ,  it got us soon in front of the "Vinayak dias". We offered garlands to the Siddhivinayak. The most attracting thing at Siddhivinayak temple was Begging for the Mannat i.e. your desire to be written on a white board by your fingers.
Thereafter Anil straight  took me to the Marine Drive and had some pics there and heard interesting stories related to this area with special reference to the terrorist attack on hotel Taj from him and next we drove to Gateway of India  and had a boating experience in the sea  and during boating two special things caught my heart ,1st one was Anil's experience  in crude extraction under sea in Mumbai high,laying of oil pipelines under  sea and  2nd was Anil meeting in the boat with a lady wearing apparels  and goggles like the erstwhile actress Parveen Bobby  . she was so impressed by Anil that  she started to move on boat on the directions of Anil for having pics on the boat at different angles and in different poses. This was very amazing Veeru style short twist in my Mumbai visit but thank God soon I hinted him that the lady's boat is going to Elephanta and we are scheduled to  journey on the local boat.  Spirit of Recker seen alive. After boating we came to Chaupati and had "bhelpuri "then went to  the shahrukh's residence, it was clear that he is really hero of masses looking to the crowd in the afternoon sunny weather outside his residence. I too had a  click outside  "The mannat".
    By this time   it was lunch time and Mr and Mrs Suyog were waiting for us at his company office. Suyog's is a cool place and his wife Sangeeta brought "Ratnagiri mango" for us specially from home and natural riped. this variety of mango is totally Sweet, no sour at all .The taste was amazing and mouth watering.
     Then suyog as a good host asked my choice about meal for example weather I would like to have Chinese, Continental or Indian food. I requested him for Indian without going into the complication of different names, different methods of eating .He ordered" turanan "and 2 vegetables and it was sufficient and familiar to me. At restaurant first time I saw people using Apron type cloth tied to neck to keep clothes safe while eating food. Turanan and masala dosa were another attraction for me .Suyog has a practical knowledge of Mumbai politics and he patiently told me about local political statistics and status of Pawar in maharashtra politics. The issue came in discussion in view of burning results of Karnataka assembly. We had a good and interesting interactions with him throughout the lunch .After lunch we drove to Juhu beach where Anil prepared mine vedio welcoming the sea and then  to Prithvi Theatre , where my guide and my director Anil again created a life moment for me while confronting a guard for taking vehicle inside the street on the pretext that I was an actor, his actual words were," why are you stopping a kalakar from going in" hearing this the guard came in dilemma and it was my laugh which brought the guard into normal .After that we drove to "Jalsa "and he took me a click of mine there in the posture with raised hands showing that, Ab bahut ho gaya ,journey is complete .At 17 :00 hours we came to CST terminal1 . where in a few minutes  came our Reck BJP flag bearer, mr manish bhatnagar, and had some snacks with him. He had a formal decision about BJP politics and its ties with Shivsena. he showed in talks that he was happy seeing my easy going life through my pictures on social media, sometimes hoisting flags in office and sometimes planting trees. his words regarding this were Tum Wahan Jhande Fehrate Ho or Hamare Yahan jhande ka Danda Laga rehta hai. It was good and he kept away politics  in talks and normally he talked about personal profiles at home and workplace .The visit has been fantastic and my conclusion of visit is as under :-
1-Mumbai is marvelous but has a big loot of parking fees.
2-Suyog is an experienced and perfect business person with full devotion.
3-Anil is a perfect technocrats and a perfect struggler in mumbai  and a man with king size heart.
    Thanks to Manish and Suyog and sageeta bhabhi.  Special thanks to my best friend ,my guide and my director and sponsor of visit Anil.It wouldn't have been the Mumbai so beautiful for me without you anil. Might have not came out of airport indeed without your beautifully managed and finely
Calculated schedule by you.

2nd Death Anniversary :Humble Smarananjali

This day is most difficult for me to face because I have lost everything in a sudden which I piled up in  previous 25 years . But  any way every person has his/her destiny in its own way and every person who comes, brings   a return ticket with him/her. What is precious is the way we spend the time in this world. To some we don't see worth in their life time but others are fondly remembered even after their eternal journey and their ideals continue to guide for  long long years.       Your  straight forward ,simple and pious character was an epitome of grace and your family devotion is an inspiration for carrying on the life journey for us. You are always with us.       Today what I am posting in pious rememberence of you, if  would have been  seen by you, then  you might have certainly chuckled and would have termed it false praise. But it is not like that I am in full sense .you are worthy to remember ,worthy to accolade and your ideals are always worthy to follow and we ar
