Gaarva

-
Out of nowhere today I was reminded of Gaarva (remember Milind Ingle's melodious Marathi songs???).....For those of you who don't know Milind Ingle, he is the one who sang the famous Chui Mui Si Tum... So I tried to find the songs online. I found some of his songs online, but not all of them were from the same album, which kind of disappointed me a little.... When I was in engineering school, I used to spend more than an hour to get to my school and another hour to get back. The best way to spend time in the train was to listen to music and I had my favorites..... The Akai walkman was a life saver those days..... Although the choice of songs kept changing every month, there were a couple of albums, I remember carrying in my bag all the time (along with some apples and Bourbon biscuits!!!!!). So anyways, these all time favs were Thakshak, Sapnay, Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi (I was crazy about Shaan, actually still am!!!), Maachis and Gaarva....... I still have these audio cassettes with me.

Paus padun gelyavar, man pagulyangat jhale
Kshitijachya vaatevarati, paanyavar raangat gele
Thembana saavarlelya, tya gavatanchya kadancha
Paus padun gelyavar, me bhijalelya zaadancha
Paus padun gelyavar, man thembanche gaaranche
Aais chakvuni aalya, tya dabkyatil poranche
Modun manachi daare, ti oli paul bharati
Paus padun gelyavar, ya olya rastyavarti
Paus padun gelyavar, me chandra chimb bhijalela
Vijavun chandanya saarya vijalela, shaant nijalela
Paus padun gelyavar, man bhir bhirta paarva
Paus padun gelyavar, man gaarathta gaarva

I think I need to dig into all those boxes and find my old walkman and the old Gaarva cassette.....

Dil ne tumko chun liya hai..........

-
I keep adding new songs to my iPod every now and then and keep listening to the new ones over and over again. Yesterday for some reason I decided to listen to some older songs and decided to go for Jhankaar Beats . I had completely forgotten how much I used to like this song: Dil ne tumko chun liya hai Tum bhi isko chuno na Khwab koi dekhta hai Tum bhi sapne buno na Dil ye mera tumse kuch keh raha hai Suno na.......... Not only had I forgotten all about this song, but I had also forgotten what a hardcore romantic I used to be. I don't know what about this song affected me so much.....The lyrics, the melody, the singer (Shaan, who else?), I guess everything about this song touched my heart. The past few years have been tough and I guess I sort of came to terms with it, but in the process put some of the old sweet memories somewhere in the back.......When I was listening to this song I was thinking, it would be so nice to have someone sing this for you.....And then suddenly that Pand

My Favorite Things To Do in Washington D.C.

I spent a significant amount of time in 2023 living in Washington D.C. While a lot of the year was spent on managing a steep learning curve at work, traveling to conferences and shuttling between Atlanta and DC, I managed to explore DC a little. I had visited DC a few times before, but living here gave me an opportunity to explore it in more depth. I absolutely loved taking the Metro everywhere. It reminded me of living in Mumbai and I felt comfortable and absolutely safe. I took the Metro at all odd hours, even taking the last one at midnight a few times and never felt unsafe. There are several advantages to using the Metro in DC. It connects different neighborhoods in DC very well. The few times that I took an Uber/Lyft, I was stuck in traffic for long enough to regret my decision. On the weekends the charge is a flat $2 each way, no matter how far or close you are traveling. So, it seemed like a no-brainer to use the Metro.  Safety tip:  When traveling by myself, I generally tried t

Hiking in the Canadian Rockies

Herd of Bighorn Sheep on the Trail I finally checked off an item from my bucket list - hiking in Banff and Jasper National parks! The Canadian Rockies are full of beautiful lakes, mountains and wildlife, and they had been on my list for a really long time. So, I was happy to check them off this summer. We went on a 9 day trip in the Alberta area and loved every minute of it. While we hiked quite a bit and saw tons of lakes, I will share some of the highlights in this post, that I think are not to be missed. Check out my post on hiking in the Colorado Rockies to read about appropriate gear and altitude adjustment. All of that applies here too.  Banff National Park : On day 1 in Banff National Park, we headed to Johnston Canyon and hiked the Inkpots trail . The canyon itself is beautiful and most people hike to the lower and upper falls. To get away from the crowds though, continue hiking further on the Inkpots trail. This leads to five cool springs where the water percolates from the
