Nilesh, Rahul, Mahesh, Vrushal and myself joined from Pune while Sagar joined from Mumbai, basically Bangalore. He specially flew to Mumbai to meet us.

We first went to an MTDC resort but couldn’t find it a good place for us. We then approached Lonavala for a row house villa, where Vrushal had stayed earlier too. We finally rented it after a lot of “matha pachchi” with its owner “Shah”.

Hired a cook too to make dinner for us. Specifically non-veg. I got my veg parceled from a hotel which I never ate

We sat, had good amount of BP, watched Delhi-Pune IPL match and then slept after midnight. In the morning, had breakfast and everyone moved for their houses. Party was over, short and memorable.

Met Sagar for the first time and had a good time. Heard of him a lot from all other guys and Rohit too.

This was unlike to our one night stay Dapoli trip but very much similar to Mulshi dam trip. We started early in the morning, met more guys at a hotel on Satara road after toll plaza. We started from there only. Had heavy breakfast then left for Mahabaleshwar. Found a suitable place at Panchgani and sat there for couple of hours. Thoroughly enjoyed the time. Then to Mahabaleshwar.

I had a back on the way to Mahabaleshwar that completely spoiled the mood but nevertheless, enjoyed Special Strawberry shake and Bhel on the way back. Everyone bought strawberries too @ Rs100/kg (rates for future reference)

Nilesh managed it really well. Thanks Nilesh. Vishant’s new car drive was amazing. Good to remember part is we did not pay toll tax at all. Magical Nilesh did the trick

Hope we have many more trips.
