Gal Gadots Monologue
Dec 27, 2020Gal Gadot’s monologue was wonderfully delivered by her (perfectly suits Wonder Woman).
Watched Wonder Woman
Dec 27, 2020Watched Wonder Woman ‘84 last night. The movie was mediocre on its own (not comparing to the first one), but when Steve comes in the first few scenes: I realised how many modern things we take for granted.

For The Past
Dec 9, 2020For the past two weeks, I’ve been waking up earlier than I normally do. My wife sleeps later than I, so I can’t begin working early as I fear I might disturb her.
Unintended consequence: I now have some free time in the mornings: just me, my Macbook and Micro.blog & RSS feeds. Good way to spend the winter mornings.
Lonavla, Nov 2020
Dec 5, 2020Over the middle two weeks of November, we celerbrated Diwali, albeit with lessened enthusiasm this year. However, one event during that festival: Bhaubeej (or Bhaiduj in Hindi), the extended family decided to getaway to our uncle’s on-going project in Lonvala.
This project’s first phase is due to complete by March,2021. So it was a good opportunity for us to celerbate and be there amongst ourselves without intrusion while observing pandemic-level precautions.
Around the site is the start of the Pavana river. It’s a private area shared by the few properties there. I’ve shot some videos around there for my iPhone 12 Camera review, but here are some quick shots from the area:
At around 5:00PM, I decided to walk back to the site and join the pack again. Some shots as the sunset had just begun:
Finally, around 6PM, we left for home after all our celebrations. While still on our way to the main town of Lonavla, we spotted the beautiful sunset sky.
It’s unfortunate how the tourists have spoilt the serene beauty of this place. Trash thrown all around the place, plastic bags & bottles, alcohol glass bottles and disposable glasses. It was quite a sad note to end an otherwise wonderful day.
But the day had another surprise waiting for me, at my own fault: At the exit of the Lonavla town towards Mumbai or Pune, in the dark, I accidentally turned towards Mumbai. Entering the Expressway, I noticed the distance marker read Panvel, 51KM. Luckily, I was able to find a turn point 11KM away.
The two-way journey back to the Lonavla exit point cost us a solid 30 minutes, but the family and I will remember this one for a good while and laugh about in years to come.
