Once a year, Shobha's band of cousins gang up and head towards this beach called Srivardhan on the west coast.

| Enroute to Srivardhan from Pune |
 |
| Mama dhaba |
The group varies from 12-24 I guess and ages range from 2 to 80 (not all cousins). I have been there three or four times and it had been quite some time since I last went, so it was interesting for me.
 |
| Sane Guruji ashram |
We drove from Pune, me not driving for I was feeling a little woolly headed.

| Beach at Srivardhan |

| The resort is behind the trees |
Gauri's car and driver, Rakesh, were with us and we went quietly on our way - Gauri, Jyo, Shobhs, Anjali and me in this car.

Parth, Maria, Mangala tai in theirs. We met up at Ambrosia and some places shifted.
 |
| Gloaming |
 |
| Breakfast |
Next stop at Quick Bite, a lovely place at Mulshi where one must spend a day and night on the banks of the lake. Ate some breakfast and off we went to Mangaon where we stopped at Sane Guruji's place and wandered around. Finally landed up at Srivardhan by 3 pm.

| Cricket on beach |
 |
| Boats going on land |
Bakul, Sudhindra, Anuraag and Avani landed up from Mumbai. Games, jokes, stories, beach and fun. Nice meals. Some rum and stuff.
 |
| Promenade - a 3 km walk I enjoyed |
 |
| Helipad at the end |
I slept early. It wasn't as cold as I thought and I got up early next morning but didn't dare walk on the beach.
 |
| Promenade from the end |
 |
| Nivant Sagar resort |
I got up late, had breakfast and walked to the end of the beach. In the evening I went for a dip in the sea. Milind and Neelima came the second day so it was fun with the bonfire and all.
