Yeva konkan aploch asa!!!

HI all, first of all sorry that i have not posted for a long time.. Well, last week i was on vacation. Went to my native.. Hmm.. konkan, i juzzz luaaaaaaaaaavvv konkan... dont feel like coming back from there.. Although i got a very short vacation only a week :( but i enjoyed it to the fullest.. First couple of days i was in Vijaydrug @ my uncle's place.. a coooool place to stay.. jus near the Arabaian Sea and the Vijaydurg fort he has his 85 year old WADA, one of its kind in entire Vijaydurg :o. Its walls are made of jaggery and calcite thats what they say.. gr8 na???

In the afternoon we moved to Mahakali, Adivre, Rajapur thats where our kuladaivat is!. The journey to Advire from Vijaydurg was very interesting , since there was no bus for two hours from Vijaydurg, we had to go to the bank of a sea, they call that bank as Tirlot-Amberi bandar... from there we got a mini-boat to go on the otherside of the sea (Sagve-Shirse). Njoyed it ... masst.. and the fare was also very less. 7 rs / person.. heheh nice na???.. imagine, urself in the midst of a creek on one side you see tall coconut trees and on the other side you see houses with slanting roof's typical konkani houses.. Most of them were painted in green.. yea since most of the families which live near the coasts and who owns these boats are Muslims to be more precise, Kharvi muslims. gr8 ppl, their primary occupation is fishing.. hmmm .. yummiee yumiieee fresh fishes.. Apart from this, i was stunned with the fact which the captain of our ship ;) told. He said that, the point where we boarded the boat is Sindhudurg district and where we will get down is Ratnagiri District, that journey was of jus 10 minutes and if you travel by road then that journey is of more that one and half hour.. gr8 isnt it??? and more than anything else, two districts separated by just a small creek. I tell u, u feel gr8 in the midst of the creek in a boat when it sails on the waves.... simply gr8... From there we went to Adivre, darshan liya and back to my uncle's place at Talere.. There we stayed for abt couple of days.

On Wednesday, we arranged a small picnic to Malwan killa. The most attractive thing abt Malwan killa is that its located in the center of the sea, and here again you have to go through a small boat, the ticket was 27 Rs/ person. return ticket.. lolz... 22 ppl in one boat... gr8 naa??? After you reach the entrance of the fort, the captain and vice-captain :P of the ship says, guys you have return back in an hours time.. otherwise weel leave wdout taking you back.. hehehe.. I was wondering how is it possible to watch this huge fort in an hour.. But i was wrong, there is nothing left inside the fort except a small Shivaji temple and couple of trees which makes u to click click click... We moved of from that place before the sun uncle become more harsh on us... From there we visited couple of more places like, Kalnirnay wale salgaonkarancha ganpati @ Medhe, Malwan. In the evening we visited couple of places from Sawantwadi and returned back home by 7.. :( Cudnt go a beach since my Dad dint want to take us... :(((... Overall the short picnic was reallly gud... On thursday i went to Goa alone @ my frnz place, enjoyed a lot over there too.. had to come back to Talere that day itself since my return ticket to Mumbai was on Friday.. Overall a gr8 vacation... While returning the biggest worry was of the luggage we were carrying, two khokaas of haapoooooooosss amba, 3 huge jackfruits and loads of other things which my mom had bought in the weekly market in the villages which she feels is not available in Mumbai, but m damn sure it will be available even in our nukkad ka shop.. But ho will convince her.. But i enjoyed carrying all tha boja... since i cud give her an excuse of back pain and cud sleep for couple of hours more the next two days @ home .. heheheh.. M smart :P....
