Jumma........and emotions!

Jumma....nay....Jumme ki shaam....tonight in Aurangabad. Jumme ki shaam in Aurangabad and Mumbai are two different but unique experiences. Jumme ki shaam in Aurangabad is an 'experience' by itself! Roaming in old city on my old scooter and becoming nostalgic about all the things aged old....the 52 gates and 52 "puras"........yes! in fact "aged" old city I mean to say ..........that brings tears in my eyes. My life divided between Mumbai and Aurangabad makes me more and more emotional about the old city of Aurangabad and Mumbai too. The city where I really belong to....and the other city I emotionally belong to....I would not name them in any manner whatsoever.....in either way or in any way..... Because that is very very difficult!!! Almost impossible; I would say!!!

Our Weekend Spots

And now shooting of the film "Ajanta" has commenced at Ajanta valley starring Sonali Kulkarni playing the role of Paro and one foreign actor playing the role of the British Colonel. Exactly at the spot from where you can view the astonishing view of whole of Ajanta caves as a horse shoe. The relatively unexplored spot enjoyed by me, my wife and kids since 1997 i.e. the year when we bought our first car and hence could frequent that relatively unknown view point. Only last week, shooting of another film commenced near Daulatabad Fort starring Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor at the lake which is our fav. weekend spot for years. I have even posted several pictures of myself and my family at that spot on orkut/facebook since years. The moral of the story : Bollywood NOW realized the beauty of our age old weekend spots!!! :) Amen!!! :)

In fact, the Ajanta valley.........which my mother liked so much.....but was unable to visit often because we did not have a car for long. When I bought a car for the first time in family in 1997, she was the person who enjoyed the most of Ajanta Valley making me drive her down there on many weekends. Missing you mom now.....I lost her about 10 years ago in March, 2002.
