Beat your Katraj blues

Yes, here's a toast to all those who've experienced hell on earth - the Katrajians! Okay fine, Katrajkars. (When in Rome..) And a special one to those who have been unfortunate enough to actually study here - your situation makes Constantine's hell look like a theme park!

Anyways whenever you feel like the devil has pinched your bottom for the umpteenth time.. its always nice to know that there is an Oasis where you can drown your sorrows at least for a little while..

Yeah, it is none other than.. Katraj Ghats!!



No, that's not Ooty, can you believe it - this is actually the extension of Katraj. Doesn't it look serene? Yes my friends, there IS an invisible line between Heaven and Hell, and believe it or not, it does have a name! It's called the Pune Municipal Corporation Jurisdiction Line.

Some more eye candy..




These were taken on a trek a friend and I ventured on one rainy day (quite literally). And about how it felt - the pictures tell it all, really.




Camel Falls. Named after the well liked Turkish exports.




You can really re-discover yourself at a place like this!





Er.. not to put a dampener or anything.. but this kind of scenery exists only in the monsoon. So in all the other seasons all you can expect to see is dry, arid land. It might not lighten your mood so much, but what the hell - carry along some like minded buddies and your tried and trusted friend Romanov, and you are back to planet Paradise!
