1/6/2024 0 Comments Seven moments worth revisitingThey promptly took me to Joshi’s vadapav stall and it has now ingrained me on my very own food map keeping me wanting to come back for more! When I craved a spicier bite – pat came my friend’s advice – listen to the call of the Vadapav chorus. George’s restaurant was the pick for a sumptuous meal at night on our way back. And hitching a ride with a friend who helped me plan parts of my trip, took me through East Street which at those hours, enticed me with smell of freshly baked goods from Kayani Bakery forcing me to make a stop for a packet of its famed Shrewsbury biscuits on the way. This is a fairly new feature in the city – as I was informed by a bemused local uncle – courtesy the aptly named running group, “Pune running”. Speaking of the environment, it was almost impossible to miss seeing the number of runners or cyclists in the city. Note down that Lavasa city, Aamby valley, Lonavala are popular and exciting destinations for those people who prefer road trips to hiking. It does have the most beautiful view and maybe the attention it receives from potential visitors would help authorities revive and maintain its beauty. I was literally amidst the clouds (cloud number nine, if you will) in the refreshing embrace of Lonavala Lake. Having visited some of the customary sites and ticked off the temples from my to–visit list, I head onwards further to the monuments and the Ghats that make Pune the beautiful sprawling greenery that beckons environment enthusiasts. For this trip I gave it a miss but I intend to return to it soon! (I think we’ve all been there.)You could alternatively hike to one of Shivaji’s old fortresses or bases. As a student, my temple may have been slightly tinted with an agenda to get through my stressful pre-exam moments. The ISKCON temple and the Bhuleswar Temple were beautiful and it felt very satisfying allowing the serenity of all that is holy to envelope me on my onward journey of discovery. There are several temples you could visit, release your inner turmoil, de-stress and obtain your blessings at. For me, the journey began inwards and the wish to see monuments that have stood the test of time. It’s good to have a list of what you wish to see and engage with in the city. It’s congenial for activity, lacking the killer sting of Delhi heat and the sticky drag of Kolkata’s humid weather. In the peak of summer, the weather is what one could very simply call, “beautiful”. In fact, it is considered to be the student’s city and rightly so. The city has an appeal to travellers and students alike and you could discover why in your own time. It does not store any personal data.If you’ve never been to this city, it’s time you pack your bags and go.

Middle-age couch potatoes: Go get a horse. “I’m actually grateful people can still say how old I am,’’ he said, “because when I started in the sport I used to be really proud of being the youngest person in the team.” (Laura Kraut, at 55, became the oldest American to win a medal since 1904, taking silver in equestrian team jumping along with Jessica Springsteen, the daughter of Bruce, and McLain Ward.) Hoy got bronze in individual eventing, and Australia won silver in team eventing.Īn eight-time Olympian, his first appearance was at the Los Angeles Games in 1984, and he earned gold in Barcelona, Spain, in 1992. He is Tokyo’s oldest medalist, earning a silver and bronze in equestrian (the youngest medalist was 12-year-old Kokona Hiraki of Japan, who won silver in, appropriately enough, skateboarding). Still, it must be nice to be Andrew Hoy of Australia. “When people meet me in the village they say, ‘Hey, so what do you do? Are you an official?’ And I say, ‘Well, I’m an athlete.’” Fellow denizens of the athletes’ village apparently had trouble processing this. It can be a bit strange to be 62 and an Olympian.
