Snapshots from National Park

Inspite of living in Borivli I went to National Park today after more than 10 Years, for Deepthi it was her first visit to the all Famous Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
There weren't too many animals just saw a few Deers, One leopard and many Monkeys... The Lion Safari was bit vague and the official jeep were missing, and our Rickshaw wasnt allowed to enter the Kanheri Caves Region : ( .

But the coolest thing was the Mini Train, the 15 min ride is fun, reminds you of your school picnics and the Peddle Boating, real paisa vasool stuff.
Both @ 15 bucks per person.

The park was clean, but many of the animals were missing so were the food stalls .. the only food available were the Kulfiwalas and the Cucumber vendors.

Maybe next time we can do a group picnic and carry all our food and housie tickets and some booze :)

Demystifying Haji Mastan

Contrary to general belief, Haji Mastan Mirza was never an underworld don or even a goon for that matter. He was a smuggler and a shrewd man who rubbed shoulders with the high and mighty of his era. Be it Karim Lala or Vardabhai, Dilip Kumar or Shashi Kapoor, he had friends from the world of politics. .....Nice article by Baljeet Parmar in DNA

The Real Monkeys

Jaran Rohinton Mistry, Burzin Karkaria, Betran Rushi Adva and Rubi Behram Adva.
These 4 morons gave cricket a bad name by abusing and mimicking Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, Wankhede stadium stands to lose its One Day status if banned by the ICICI.

After Baroda, This was the second time Symonds was abused by the crowd.

After Australia collected an award for team of the year, compere Cyrus Broacha did some great work by referring to the offensive spectators as "idiots" and called on the audience to show their support of the allrounder.

The crowd stood up and applauded Symonds, who looked chuffed to receive such a warm reception following his hostile treatment at Wankhede Stadium.


The whole Indian population was up in arms when Shilpa Shetty was abused and now when the chutyagiri is done by our own people... Muted Silence.


One behalf of these 4 countrymen I would like to say sorry to the Aussie team and Andrew Symonds and let the spirit of cricket prevail.

Lastly I won't be surprised if Indian cricketers gets similar treatment in Australia if these guys like these are not punished.
