CONGRATULATIONS! IT'S A BABY GIRL!

 You Women!!! Urgghhh!!!!

YES WE WOMEN!

SHAKTI is the most powerful among all the three major gods: Brahma, Vishnu and Mahadev. When none of them were able to kill Mahishasur, it was Ma Shakti who did this. It is said that she comprises the powers of all the three gods herself. And yes,

She was a female...

Then why do we girls, being a woman doubt our capabilities? Is it not that we already belong to a lineage of Ma Shakti, Ma Kali, Ma Lakshmi, Ma Saraswati and many more goddesses? Do we even have the right to doubt that virtuous blood of ours that we've inherited from them? 

If people judge, let them, if they doubt, let them, if they push you and make you fall, let them! This is their job!!! They will do this and continue to do as long as there are two sub species of homo sapiens(male and female), as long as we women continue to live on this planet!

Don't give this right to any third person to come and shatter your beliefs and alter your thought process. You are what you are and that is the most beautiful and powerful thing. Just be yourself, make the things work your way no matter how many people are against it, no matter if they approve of it or not. Until and unless you are right, no one can ever stop you. So trust yourself, your capabilities, your qualifications your decisions and work it your way. And yes, never to lose hope!

So believe in yourself! get empowered girl, not as a woman but as a goddess! 

 Welcome back dear tourists!!!

Normal day to day work life is too hectic for one to handle and sometimes we reach to a saturation level and badly need a weekend's holiday. If you find this relatable and want some info regarding a small weekend's holiday, then you are at the right place!!

Beaches are one of the most relaxing and peaceful place to visit to calm down all the turmoil and stress that goes on in head. People of all age groups enjoy being at the beach, be it chilling in the waters, participating water sports or just sitting along the shops near the seashore and enjoying hot and sizzling sea food while the warm air caresses you all over your body. Personally, I get very excited and childish as soon as I see a beach😁

Thus, I am here to suggest you one of the best and very clean beaches of Maharashtra I have seen till now and that is 

THE KASHID BEACH

                 

⭐OUR ENCOUNTER WITH STARFISH EARLY IN THE MORNING THE NEXT DAY⭐

Kashid is a beach village in Murud taluka on the shores of the Arabian sea, in the North Konkan region in Maharashtra, India. It is located 15 km from Murud City and 135 km from Mumbai on the Alibag-Murud road. The beach is wedged between two rocky hills in a semicircular arch and is located in between the stretch of the sea in North Konkan between Mandwa and Murud-Janjira. Water sports activities are available on the beach during peak hours. Hotels and homestays are available all along the State highway which runs close to the beach. There are some places to visit and in around Kashid like the Phansad Bird sanctuary, the Korlai fort and the Datta Mandir at Revdanda.

3] BEST TIME TO VISIT 

Situated in Pune, Lonavala is a must visit place if you are planning to explore Maharashtra. Lonavala is already beautiful in its own way, but the beauty is at its peak in the monsoon season.

Monsoon season in Maharashtra generally starts in the 1st - 2nd week of June. So, once it rains up to 15 to 20 days, most of the angelic waterfalls and sleeping beauty seasonal streams start to wake up from a long deep sleep and attain ultimate beauty attired in beautiful white, ever flowing gowns. The floating skies decor the head of waterfalls like a tiara adding to its eternal beauty. the site is heavenly to behold and yes, I think you must visit its waterfalls for sure... And not to forget about Lonavala's Chikki {a sweet snack} ofc!

Therefore, I would recommend you visit the place in the 1st or 2nd week of July. But you should also know the fact that, this is the peak time of tourism so, be ready with your prior hotel bookings to avoid on the spot booking stress.  if you visit in the later days there are very high chances of landslides and when it's about safety, never to compromise.

4] ESSENTIALLS TO CARRY 

AS YOU WOULD MOST PROBABLY BE VISITING LONAVALA IN MONSOON SEASON, DO NOT FORGET THE FOLLOING ITEMS:

• RAINCOATS, UMBRELLAS, AND TOWELS
• EXTRA CLOTHINGS SPECIALLY FOR KIDS
• GOOD QUALITY SPIKED SHOES (AS YOU WOULD HAVE TO TREK AT CERTAIN PLACES)

THAT'S IT. OTHER THINGS ARE JUST TRAVELS ITEMS THAT YOU CARRY AT ANY ITHER TRIP.

5]PRECAUTIONS 

• Do carry first aid kit as you may never know when you'll get hurt by some slippery and sharp rock of the waterfall.
• Be careful as Lonavala is a hill station and very prone to landslides in the later days of heavy rainfall.
• Keep the phone numbers of rescue team, police and locals just in case.
• If you are prone to viral infections like influenza, do carry a medicine with you. Otherwise, you can find it in pharma/chemist shops as well but in an unknown place that would be little difficult.

So, wish you all a very happy and safe travels!!! Keep exploring, keep learning!!!!
