Some videos of Pune-Mahabaleshwar Tour, April - 2015


Pune-Mahabaleshwar Tour

We had a nice get together at Rafaan's home at Pune on 12-13th April, 2015. Dada Dadi Jaan came from Chandrapur, Heena Phuphi came from Mumbai and I with Mumma Papa went from Goa. The purpose was related to matrimonial meet of Heena Phuphi.
We went by Car, starting early morning at 4:30. While Mumma, Papa planned to take me sleeping, I got up as soon as I was in the car. Papa made the back seat of car like bed and I and Mumma relaxed there while Papa drove. A car TV was also fixed inside  having my choice of Rhymes. We enjoyed the journey, taking breaks at eateries and my favourites Frootis and Cadburys.
Reached Pune at 2:30 pm, Dada/Dadi Jaan and Heena phuphi were already there.  Met Rafaan, Nazneen Phuphi and Razique Phoopha. They all hugged me, kissed me and gave lots of love. Dada Dadi Jaan also brought dresses and pyjamas for me. I took some toys for Rafaan and we both played with it together. Rafaan also had his own toys which he let me play with. Evening we went to an uncle's place and there every body was talking to each other. There were some toys also there, so I and Rafaan played again. We also got Icecream to eat.
While we were leaving, every body was happy and greeting each other. We came back home late evening.
Next day we went to drop Dada/Dadi Jaan and Heena Phuphi to station. After that Razique Phoopha and Nazneen Phoophi took all of us to a very nice hotel, where we all had sumptuous meal. They also bought me a beautiful red dress which I instantly liked.
Next morning we left for Mahabaleshwar. We stayed at a nice resort. It was cold and the view from our room's balcony was breathtaking. We slept whole day and in evening we went to Lodwick point, where I rode a horse with Papa. After that we went to Venna lake where we did the boat riding.
Next day, papa hired a guide uncle who took us to so many beautiful places in Mahabaleshwar. The sights from those places were beautiful. All through the tours I kept sipping my frooti and eating chocolates. At one point me, mumma and papa rided on a Camel also. Mumma was so afraid, but I held her tight and she felt comfortable.
In evening we went to the local market, which was so crowded. I bought a box full of chocolate.
Next morning we drove back to Goa, through another route which had Ghats. Mumma didnt like this second route too much.
We had lunch in a veg restaurant at Goa. Reached our home by 5:00 pm, completely tired of journey. That day I slept early.
This 4 days were marvellous as I met everybody and did many things for first time in my life. I will always cherish these memories.

At Aguada Anchorage, Goa

Papa's institution GIM held a retreat on 8-9th April, 2015 at the resort Aguada Anchorage. On the last day of retreat, family was also invited for get together and dinner. Papa took me and Mama on Afternoon of 9th April and we spend rest of the day and night at the resort. We had a nice room at the resort booked for us where we got ready for the event. Papa's colleagues and their family and kids were also at the resort. We had evening tea and snacks at 4:00 pm along with others. I had so much of fun as there were many kids of my age. We ran around the place, made noise and played, while mumma and papa had their snacks. After that we went near swimming pool where I posed for photographs. From 6:00 pm we gathered at the lawn where so many others and children were also there. I played with all of them. There was an uncle who made us play games and enjoy. In between I got restless and started crying so papa and mumma took me out in car for a ride for a change. Then we joined back and had food. There were plenty of options in food ranging including pizza, juices, french fries, icecreams and others.
I also got a prize for being the smallest kid in the event - a large piece of Cadbury.
We slept in our room at resort. I got a cute baby cot with a pic of a teddy for myself in which I slept tight till morning. In morning we had breakfast there and left the resort at 10:30 am for home.
All 3 of us had a great time. Waiting for next retreat. Some pics from the event.
