You’re bringing back old memories.. Lonavala and Mahabaleshwar are not too far away from each other and you’re right.. The waterfalls there are awesome.. Monsoons are actually the best times to visit these places if you are going just to take in the scenery. These places look so good in the rains.. When in college we used to hike during the Monsoons as the rains would keep us going longer distances and climb higher hills without really tiring out that much.. I remember one of the highest peaks I had climbed there was at a place called Karjat – again outside Bombay. I did that again during the beginning of monsoons.. And when on top at one point it got clear and we could actually see the bottom from the peak, and saw trains that ran down that looked like little pieces of string... we were about 4600 ft high according to a G-Shock watch that had a altimeter that a friend of mine owned..

I visited Mahabaleshwar at the beginning of the monsoon season, when the rains were starting in Mumbai, and the waterfalls are something to behold.

But its an almost tolerable hot, where you can still do things outdoors. Its never too hot that you just can’t be outdoors unless you are the type that cannot handle more than 86 F (which is more or less 30 C).. I recall my days in the youth where I used to play cricket, football (soccer here) or field hockey even in the hottest known days of summer.. The hottest days used to get up to 95 F (about 35 C) that lasted about a couple of weeks before the Monsoons kicks in.. Thankfully just when the summer peaks in the fag end of May, beginning of June, that’s when the Monsoon season kicks in, drastically bringing down the temperatures.. If it wasn’t for the summer, then it would be a country where you would easily have 100+ F but it never ever gets that hot there. Also Pune has a lot of ‘hill stations’ surrounding it, which you can go for a weekend getaway. These being on higher altitudes tend to be a lot more cooler than the city itself. Lonavala which is close to Pune is absolutely gorgeous.. I had been there a few times, once on a high school retreat for the catholic students, and on most other occasions on college hikes where we climbed short mountains – I enjoyed all my trips there.. And then theres Goa for those who want to go on a longer weekend.. Goa is slightly further down south but has got the best beaches I have ever been to as compared to any other beaches in the world.. All the beach landscape there is natural with little or none artificial touch added.. That’s the place I am a native of.. It has a huge Portuguese influence so there is lots to see in terms of history other than beaches.. If you are a Catholic, you may even want to visit the St. Francis Xavier’s church in Goa wherein lies the remains of the saint.. The body is not embalmed and is considered to have miraculously not decomposed.. I recall visiting this church when I was about 8 and they held a public exposition where they lowered the body for public viewing from the golden casket in which it lays high on an alter... Dolphins are often spotted on some of the beaches near Miramar, Goa..

It's India, so there are a lot of people, but the food, the people, the culture, and so much more make it a wonderful place to go. They do have a monsoon season, which is really... wet, if anyone is looking at relocating there that has never visited. The people, en masse, in India, are some of the most pleasant people I've ever had the pleasure of getting to know. If you do go to Pune, try to Misal pav at a place downtown, I think on or near Lakshmi street; if Google is any help, I think the place I went Bedekar Misal. http://www.whatmakeslifetick.com/2010/04/bedekar-tea-stall-legendary-food-places.html Axton Grams On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 2:34 PM, Easter, David <david_eas...@bmc.com> wrote: ** Hi All, If you’ve always dreamed about being able to influence the future of AR System, here’s your chance.
