Ajay - On the Road called Life!

Dad’s down for another day and when he is down, we usually set out for a father-son-on-a-bike-visiting trip. This time the destination was banks. We visited five banks in the area of Andheri and Vile Parle.
We also managed to grab some vadapav and sugarcane juice, both of which will be eternal favourites for any [...]

Should have posted this a while back, but as usual original posts coming out of a budding MBA student can be rare.
Anyway, I came down to Mumbai on 14th on college work. Our job was to interview an entrepreneur. The problem, he didn’t really have the time. So, this turned out to be a failed [...]

Had to report to Pune on June 1 to get ready for my two year long MBA course at SCMHRD. I’ve never experienced hostel life and the longest I’ve been away from home was seven years back on my trip to Muscat.
Thankfully my Mom and Marise stepped in to ensure that I leave properly.
I made [...]

Finally got down to studying at full shot. Have completed the entire Maths portion. Computers is easy so what remains of that will be last.
Went for choir practice yesterday after quite sometime. Picnic plans are being made for June 3, but by then I will be in Pune.
Received the email today with detailed reporting [...]

Well, it’s been two weeks since I got back from Goa and I’ve spent the last two weeks documenting the daily visits of Goa.
To sum up, my entire visit of Goa was fun. It was the first time that I went there, but I’ve learned how to get myself around it (hopefully)
Anyway, here’s the listing [...]

As all good things come to an end, our exhausting but extremely enjoyable vacation in Goa finally drew to a close. We had tickets for the afternoon Shatabdi Express back to Mumbai.
But, the return journey didn’t mean we didn’t have an exhausting morning.

It began with Marise and me gardening, more like pruning the the plants [...]

A week in Goa without visiting the beach is something very people would do. Well, we aren’t among those people.
We had plans to go swimming in a nice swimming pool, but when plans didn’t work out, we chose to visit the beach.
The beaches in Goa are usually crowded and on a Sunday afternoon it’s at [...]

We slept quite late (infact early in the morning) after the barbecue on Saturday and it was quite a bit of a problem awaking by 7am to make it for the 8am mass.
However, we did struggle out of our beds and get ready.

Now Thivim Chapel is right on top of the hill, which means [...]

We may have walked all over Thivim the previous day, but that wouldn’t stop us from travelling to Badem to visit Crispin’s Grandmother.
Our last visit to Badem was pretty much a disaster as it involved us hitchhiking all over the place.
Our trip to Mapusa was by the usual bus. We were accompanied by Dora, who [...]

After a rested day at home, Friday was a tiring and leg breaking experience!
Friday is the big Mapusa bazaar, which means lots of things to shop and lots of crowds to shop with… I’m not a crowd person.
Anyway, caught the morning bus to Mapusa and entered the bazaar. Ruth didn’t join us, so Crispin, Marise [...]
