Visit at Karla Lane

I never visited such historical caves ever before. I heard about it and read on Google what exactly it has and have an interest to visit there. It is on high hills due to which Mr. hubby is not ready. It will be very hectic as our daughter was very small and I am very miserable at climbing up 😒

But now after a couple of years we decided to have a one day trip which is very convenient and we successfully made it. It has been told there is nothing to see in karla lane and it is in miserable condition. But I am very curious to visit historical place and their architectures which is around 2000 years before. With proper maintenance it could be more secure for tourist but you know what is the actual status of our Tourism Department especially for Maharashtra. Forts are also in miserable condition😔

All I want that please adore these caves from my lenses. I am sure you will love it.

Some information 😊 I do not think to update here, but as a travel blogger it is rituals....haaa...haaa... to update whatever you know it might be helpful apart from “Google Baba”.

How to travel: The most convenient is hiring a vehicle or have it your own. Mumbai- Pune highway road trip is most comfortable for kids. You will get plenty of option for food and resting.

Cost: Nothing apart from your vehicle and food expense. As it is free of cost with minimal entry fee Rs.10/- per person.

When to visit: It has been said the best season is rainy season where you can lure out greenery and will find some waterfall inside the cave. But I think it is more dangerous because there is the message to be cautious at every lane. So better to go in winter or in summer when your kids have holiday.

Height: No, it is not that much on high though it is situated on hill top. But at some distance you can park your car and easily climb up with the staircase.

Historical Information: Everything is available on Goggle. But still why I love this place is because it is historical and it is a prayer house of Buddhist monk. Moreover it is built by stone and wood structure. It has most of stone carving. It is called as Chaitygrihas. Dome like structure is called Chaitya and monks are living here and they do allow the trade person to take rest here so it is called grihas.  This cave comprise of 16 rock cut excavation which I think we are unable to count due to destruction.

It has semi circular ceiling which is main object of worship which is surrounded by wooden carving. 

Each pillar have sculpture of man and women. There are some messages written on pillar which is in Brahmi language. 

Stone have carving of three elephants which is broken 😒

One of the most favorite think that it has our preamble-  Ashokan Pillars which have carving of Buddha seated on a lion.

Carla lanes carved around 2000 years ago around the 2^nd century of BC. 

Ekvira Goddes temple is near the entrance of Lane.

We enjoyed it as our family trip with small bachcha party and hope you also like it.

High school Reunion 2019

“ Reunion reveals friendship potential that haven’t yet been emerged in the past.”

-Toba Beta

True !! Yes…it is. We really surprised when we saw the real person in our close friend. Glad to have each one of you as a nice human being, which is very difficult to find in today’s world.

A big “Hi” and a warm welcome to all my readers who missed my post. Thanks a lot for your love and support. It is only you who inspire me to write though I am not a good writer…ahh…ahh… I am not a writer. This is a place where I can hang out with my feeling and words with lot of mistake. 😅 I am trying to treasure every memory and sometime failed too but you readers get me back to drive it.

At each stage of our life we came across with many friends but the school friends are always near and dear one. I want to pen it down as much as possible to treasure this sweet memory.

Let me introduce my high school friends with whom I enjoyed my school life. Yes this is my school friend’s reunion 2019 which is hit among us after having lots of trial and error 😊

This is our “10 D” batch. Some of them are in the same division from standard 5 and some of them joined from 8^th grade. Our “10 D” is always remains special throughout our school “NEW HIGH SCHOOL”, right or wrong guys? Still we missed our school days and our teachers too. 

Whenever we meet, we tend to virtually sit in our school division which was on 3^rd floor beside the library. This picture comes in front of eyes and makes everyone happy. The most important thing that we are united as a whole batch till date and will remain forever.

Reunion is become a fad now days.  Credit goes to Social media where everyone able to find out there dear ones. It was in 2012 when my three friends and I gathered all friend contact numbers from facebook and other social media and successfully had our first reunion. How many of you  remember this? I still remember how much we were excited for our first reunion and happy to see the same excitement in this year too.

And the tradition still going on and will continue for coming more exciting years. We will make every meet up as much as exciting. The most thrilling part of this reunion is Aplana who came all the way from Nagpur.👍 

This 2019 reunion is our “10 D” first official picnic, I would say it is official because after many trial and errors we successfully made it.😓 It was really annoying when you decide to go by bus and  don’t know how many are really going to join us. We supposed to gather at 6:30 a.m. but somehow manage to depart around 7:45 a.m. with so many hick-ups😝 and finally reached at our destination- Pune. It was really funny because our school never had a picnic and finally we made it. Special thanks to Swapnil and Bipin who make the picnic more enjoyable.

What is Reunion?

Comment down your precious views.

For me, meeting after so many years and try to find out whether he or she is the same buddy? You will realize remarkable things about them. Some of them not even utter a single word in a school but now they are the spokesperson 😮 who gives motivational speech. Some of them used to be very naughty but now become a sincere guy. Some of them are as it is the way they were. Happy to see those guys who have achieved their childhood dreams. This is we called “FOCUS” which very few people have. 😔  We came to realize that there are vast career options, apart from regular career, like IT, Medical, Food, Education, Engineer, etc. Every one of us has a remarkable career and I wish all of you to have more success in your life.

Not every student got such type of friends group at this stage of life. I am really blessed to have each one of you.  Delight to see that everyone is able to beat up the life obstacles and reached towards their goal.  Be Happy and always united with our group without having any quarrels😂 

Let me share some glimpse of our special day:

 Re-intro session

This is the special gift to everyone. Love to see our whole group on it.

Special thanks to Jayshree and her team who made a nice arrangement. Stay tuned for every reunion as we grow old we tend to become smaller again. Don’t miss out that fun of reunion.

I would like to sum up by giving our special thanks to each of us who make this 2019 Reunion successful. Many more years are waiting for our celebrations.

Cheersss guys!!!!
