The Pune Diaries - Day 1

 May 10, 2022

As planned we  set out at 530ish - all five on time and piled into the faithful Ertiga. In a couple of hours we stopped at Zaheerabad for a chai (and beedi - in memory of Kaka).

Tea break at Zaheerabad

Anjali woke up and started her games - this was was really cool - each one had to pick a song to play and that was a fun experience. Raja, Satish, Shobhs, Anjali and I - the range of songs was fun to experience and it really spread over languages, time and genre and kept us entertained and also gave us some insight into the kind of stuff that person likes to listen to - very nice. Pretty much kept us going till Pune.

Chai at Z'bad


I took a break and a quick nap between Zaheerabad and Naldurg where we stopped for breakfast at Sai Prasad. Some nice poha and idli and stuff and off we went to Pune with hardly a break. We reached Pune at 230 which was good time.

Waiting

Dropped Raja off at his house at Kondhwa and after somefine chicken sandwiches from Mondegar that Prarthana ordered, we headed off to Kothrud.  

The drive was really good. Four laned all through, lots of eateries. The music session in the car was super fun and it was good to see Anjali take the lead and host the show all along!
