  • MotorCycle Trip – Nagpur to Pune

    I know I’m posting after decades, these are some of my life events need to be logged on my blog.

    15 June 2013, Morning 5.30 Alone I Started my journeys towards Pune, 800Km drive in one day was the Objective with no idea of upcoming hurdles. hardly I’ve crossed Butibori Industrial Estate, heavy rain washed me out, Luckily I’d packed my baggage nicely(usually i don’t). You can visualize what kind of heavy rain it was in Nagpur that day, same evening Cities prime area was flooded. Video here

    Intentionally I decided to use state highway as National Highways has heavy rush. Decision was not wrong but I underestimated the power of wind as Dhamangaon to Malegaon is fully open agricultural land. I couldn’t drive my Pulsor 150 above 50Km/hr.

    Here’s route i drove

    Nagpur to Pune Route

    There are lots of places to enjoy your journey.

    • Kelzhar – Lord Ganesh Temple on hill, first stop you can have on 40 Km from Nagpur.
    • Wardha Bypass Route – nice scenary at Mahatma Gandhi Antarrashtriya Hindi Vishwavidyalaya (80Km From Nagpur)
    • Pulgaon – nothing much except ordnance factory & farms (couple more 30-40 km from wardha)
    • Dhamangaon – This town is known for railway station in this area, you can find nice Chai & kachori (20 Km from Pulgaon)
    • Karanja lad – religious old city, birth place of Nrusiha Saraswati, truely devine if you can catchup with Maha Prasad at Guru Mandir. Unfortunately I reached Karanja at 10.30 AM, Not good time for Lunch. (80Km from Dhamangaon). this town does make you feel you are back in Maratha Era.
    • Malegaon – more over industrial market place, refuel your engines 😛 (60 Km From Karanja Lad)
    • Mehkar – place with Famous Balaji Temple and Haunted Palace – Kanachani cha Mahal (not sure, but locals keep saying avoid that place). Also place has some British Construction to view. (60 Km from Malegaon)
    • Sindhkhed Raja – Home town of Jijau (JijaBai) – Mother of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, fort and Monuments in this city are truely amazing and really well maintained. (40 Km from Mehkar)
    • Jalna – Big city you reach after Nagpur Crossing around 400+ km in greenery,

    Rest 300 km route is all national Highway passing through Aurangabad, Devgad, Pravara Sangam, Ahmednagar, Shirur, Ranjangaon.

    Over all it was Great experience Riding 800+ KM Alone in a Single Rainy day. Food at Dhabha’s & talks with Chaiwalas It refreshed me from my daily work schedule.

     

  • Happy New Year – My list of things to focus on in 2013

    New Year is already started; I usually don’t do New Year resolutions at least not like will give more time to family, no more long sitting in front of PC, losing weight etc. You can call it annual plan. 😀
    Here is the list based on Priority.

    Nagpur Sites Network
    Discussing & planning since last three years, partially executed. Now it’s time to start with new phase. Shortly will be announcing three more websites dedicated to my hometown Nagpur.

    Peenak – Team Development
    It’s been one and half year we started Peenak Solutions, Our Own office Building construction has started, hopefully to be completed by April 2013. We will be keen to work on team as our new ventures from Gulf Breeze, London, Pune & Mumbai are going to flood our plates.

    Opencart Contributions
    Last two month we are developing custom solution based on Open Cart – Open source PHP based shopping cart solutions. It’s time to contribute to community.

    Android Applications
    I feel it’s never too late to jump in Android Market, A Pending Application From Nagpur Hackathon is waiting to be finished. And some more Ideas in brain are waiting to come out.

    Meetups
    In 2012, I missed Meets a lot. Meeting new people, sharing ideas, recharges me. This summer I need meets in Nagpur. Or I’m going to travel for this 😀

    Blogging
    I know my writing skills are too poor, unless I write how I am developing my writing skills. So at least someone can understand what I’m trying to say.

    Nothing wrong with spending more time with the family! It’s just that I don’t believe in making those kinds of promises at the turn of a new year. 🙂

    So, now that I’ve written my plan for 2013 down on paper and published it for the world to see, all that remains to do is do it!
