Objects in rear view are closer.

Of the 6 point something years in Mumbai, this is our third house.
No no, I am not complaining.. in fact I am very excited about this whole shifting business. Apart from the packing and unpacking, it gives a sense of freshness and we get a chance to start again.

So right now our humble abode is near a place called kille gaon. Killa means fort.. Yes there is indeed a fort reduced to ruins a few meters from my flat. Its called the Belapur fort. I read in wiki that there used to be  an underground  tunnel passage that leads from belapur to elephanta caves. 

There is a small forest at one side,and the other side of the flat has a highway. "Caught in between two worlds" is a good phrase to describe our home. We got to see migratory birds called Egret during the months of Oct-Nov . Apart from that there are bats...plenty of bats and then few parrots and mynahs and few other birds which i don't know the name of..

Since its a small gaon(village), we see goats,cows and hens but what we don't see are auto rickshaws. These and some other facts forced me to take up driving lessons again.in our not so new Santro car (which means a scratch here and there is ok)

Sheldon Coopers theory that he is too evolved to drive a car is all crap. 
Let me salute everyone who can drive a 4 wheeler.. you people are great !!


God save me and all others on road .. Pray that we don't meet when I am behind the wheels :)
