TRAVELLING �EXPERIENCE IN LAST TUESDAY 2009 AT ALIBUG BEACH.

ALiBAUG BEACH. Is just on konkon cost in south Mumbai, across the narrow stretch of the Arabian Sea. Every end of year I visited sea beach or temples but this end of 2009, Tuesday I had visited Alibug Beach which is one of the famous beach in Mumbai. In 2009 Alibug beach is my fourth beach that I�ve visited specially in Mumbai.

Visiting other beaches and Alibug Beach, feeling and experience is totally different.
I look back, front people all shapes and sizes are keep on waling splish��.. splosh�.splish�..splosh into the water away from land. The beaches and its cluster of building are slowly receding in to the background. One more interesting thing you can notice when people crossing sea. Most of people have their dresses hitched up, a meaningless ritual really because below the waist everybody is soaking wet and by the looks of it, liking too.
















I am part of a throng of people, the water is knee deep, then wave comes and rises waist high. Every faces carry the laughter of skepticism. We are crossing the sea; we are simply and incredibly walking across. The sea crossing is not unusual at Alibug Beach. Walking across the water is a daily pilgrimage.

Kobal fort is another important place to visit. All day people wait for low tide to cross the sea.

TRAVELING EXPERIENCE IN U-TAN SEA RESORT.

Here I am going to explain my feeling and experience in U-Tan Sea Resort, where I had spent full one week in that resort. As you I like to spend more time on sea beach or resort. This time also I came for Christmas holidays. U-tan Sea Resort is just near by local railway station. So, in entire post I will explain my visiting experience in U-tan Sea Resort.
U-tan Sea Resort is one of the finest Resorts in Moharashtra. It is located on the base of a hill just outside Utan Village. From this I feel breathtaking view of the sea. The interior design of this resort is amazing, all cottages of this resort are two storeyed cubes, all straight lines with sharp angels, white paint with black metal and also covered by glasses. Softened by the trees they nestle amongst, set in a spread over a period of time line, so that each room has its own share of the breeze and I can view the sear through the trees, these things are special in U-tan Sea Resort.

The beach, longish walk downhill, is rock-strewn and lined with drying fish and the water somewhat filthy from the creek and river�s effluents. Another plus point is that if you will come to visit any time in this resort then you will find a pool and a wood stretch above the main any tree and take a book keep on reading while the brats play veerappan-policebuilding where you can stroll and try to sit under .

In this U-tan, another special is Bassein Fort; I also took a boat ride to across stream to watch this fort. So don�t forget to visit this when you will come. Other important places are lighthouse and old churches. From here you can see a dozen of old churches.

Traveling Experience in Juhu and Juhu Beach

Beaches in Mumbai are for you where you want to enjoy the sun, sand, sea and surf at the same time. Beach lover cannot refuse to give in to for visiting Mumbai Beaches, as they all are different and they all gives different experience. Juhu is another second important place in Mumbai and important sea beach after chowpatty; same feeling you can't feels here. In other words we can say it is the place of film stars, we can find so many film star's house here including Amitabh Bachchan, Sharukh khan and many mores. Most of Indian Hindi films are goes suiting here. May be you know or no, Jamsetji Tata who owned and developed a part of the Juhu beach front. Our national father Gandhiji who once lived here. He spent lots of time in Juhu at time of British Rule. Also Juhu is famous for ISKON Temple and luxurious five stars hotels. From juhu you can find world largest five star hotel. Juhu ISKON is one of the most important places in Juhu, so don't forget to visit ISKON when you are comming.



Juhu ISKON is Mumbai�s major ISKON Temple. Vakti Bedant Shila Shree Pravu Pada every day was coming for morning work, in his time every morning the people was able to hearing Here Krishna Mohamantra. The ISKON devotees from all aver the temples in Mumbai joined together to perform harinam on Juhu beach on Sunday. So many devotees overjoyed beach goers and children with loud booming chanting of the Maha mantra to celebrate. The most beautiful sound of the Lords Holy names fashioned a transcendental atmosphere on the beach as the golden sun sank slowly into the Arabian Sea.

Every day so many Indian and out side traveler comes to visit juhu beach and ISKON Temple. You can�t feel boring in Juhu beach. You can get variety of food stall and brilliant neon light. There are poney rides, mehendi artiest. You can notice various design of mehendis, that girs and women are using there hands also you can finds soaping bubbles, air shooting stalls, wandering photographer and all sorts performs that makes the beach the complete family entertainment.

I have spent from early morning to midnight. The morning walk in juhu is completely out standing feeling; lots of people come to morning walk. You can get fresh air and silent or peace environment in juhu special in morning time. You can closely notice the SEA; waves are coming up and down. I enjoyed very much in juhu morning walk, really morning walk in juhu beach is complete useful for health. And also evening time so many people are coming.

My Experience in Chowpatty Beach.

Mumbai is one of among the island of city of India starting from Chowpatty in the south to Juhu-Versova in the western suburbs and further up. Generally Filims and books have for long celebrated the city�s shoreline. Who can forget desperate, crazy closing moment of satya?

From morning to midnight Sunday I spent in Chowpatty beach and also in few showroom and market place. Every body knows Chowpatty is the heart of Mumbai. You can observe on one side are the downtown commercial center and the elegant, crescent-shaped curve of marine drive; on the other, the prosperous zone of Malabar Hill. Sandwiched between the two is Mumbai�s middleclass paradise in Chowpatty beach. As I spent whole day in that beach, I have noticed that in the daytime, this covered in dust stretch is home to those who sit around or doze on the sand under banyan trees. Other beautiful scenery is Pigeons; pigeons are fluttering around a feeding area at the one end of the beach; a few fishing boats bob up and down in the water. Another advance in this beach is Nana-Nani park, it especially made for the senior citizens who seek some quite moment, it located close by beach; there�s a small garden. In the evening you will feel quite different when halogen lamps come on and spill their warm yellow across the golden stretches and when light falls in sea beach, it becomes a dazzling open air party for families, students and in the self absorbed lovers. It is the right place for lovers; I observed so many lovers are gathering especially in evening time to share their love.

If you feel hungry then go to bhutta stalls, it�s just nearer the waves, also we can find garam chana vendors and pannwallahs.Test of garam chana and pan�s test is totally different. Chai-coffee boys bring their kettles and plastic cups to your mat. Maalish-wallahs offer there services while ear cleaners and astrologers wait hopefully on the sidelines. Vendors sell colorful balloons, clouds of cotton candy and all manner of plastic goodies � toys, cherry watches, whirring fans and battery-operated planes. Young man offer paid ride for children in small fiberglass cars and jeeps. If you want to entertainment, here entertainment on offer includes gaint wheel, merry-go-rounds. A group throws rubber rings, mostly without success, at thump of bottles. I also played gaint wheel with my friends, before that I have played gaint wheel but playing with friends in Chowpatty beach different.

I have seen so many families comes to Chowpatty in evening armed with plastic packets, footballs, Frisbees and cameras and then forget about it all, instead of taking their shoes and setting down on the sand, their legs stretched our, feeling the salty breeze upon their cheeks and grains of sand between their toes. One more interested things is that boys from nearby food stalls roam around with rolled-up reed mats under their arms and plastic-laminated menus in their hands, urging you to sit on the sand and place your orders.

After spending whole day, I return to home around 2pm, this was my first beach visit in Mumbai. So guys if you have any beach experience, come and share with me. You can share your experience through my blog by commenting or you can mail me as pravat.me@gmail.com, if you have any suggestion then freely contact me.

Narrow Escape from Accident while I am Car Driving in Mumbai.

Driving in Mumbai to Pune is very top because the distances are vast and the condition of the roads so unpredictable, just think that driving to other cities would be pure guess work.

You can determine from my car condition.



According to me driving in Mumbai is not recommended to new commerce. I am newly learned driving. After complete 15days car driving course, you know the Mumbai streets are muddled and poorly signposted with cows and trucks jostling for space. The road surface in many streets is in a state of disrepair and large potholes are commonplace. The horn is the most commonly used aid to driving.

I was driving Honda civic, my car was in speedy, in the mean time a lorry suddenly damaged into a park car, around ten people killed and few others injured. In order to save my life, I suddenly used my brakes. I was not aware of Honda Civic brake that it is speed baker. I hit another car, my car is getting damage but my life is safe. Thanks to God for saving my life.

Traveling Experience in Mumbai local Train.

The Mumbai Suburban Railway system is the division of the public transport scheme of Mumbai, is provided for by the state-run Indian Railways' two zonal Western Railways and Central Railways. The system takes more than 6.9 million commuters on a daily basis and amount to more than half of the total daily passenger capacity of the Indian Railways itself. It has one of the maximum passenger compactness of any urban railway organization in the world. The trains running on its routes are commonly named as local trains or simply as dhimi locals by the general populace.

Local Trains solves major transport problem Mumbai. Most of the city-dwellers depend on Mumbai Suburban Railway to travel within the metropolis. The wide-ranging network of Railways generally named as three lines Western Line, the Central Main Line and the Harbour Line. Mumbai is totally covered by local train network.

Generally I use my car or office car for traveling. Some time I travel by bus. But yesterday I decided to travel by train, so I traveled by train from Koperkhareian to Lower Parle, what I experience that I gained I am going to explain. Yesterday was first journey in local train in Mumbai. I had never any idea about Mumbai local train before. I was waited train in platform, I asked a person which I train I will cache to go Lower Parle, that fellow told me by which train you want to go, i told him, I didn�t get ,I mean what train means, local train. He explained me here is two type of train, one is local train and another one dhimi local train, I asked that what�s meaning local train and dhimi local train, so he told, this was first time I know that two type of local train, I have also visited in kolkota�s local train, there you will get one train for local journey.

Traveling in second class is absolutely very cheap, but it is outstandingly crowded. For women, there are special coaches on both classes in all the trains. They are quite better and safer than the common ones. So the local train filled to capacity, with people hanging out of the doorway, and perched atop the train. This is a sight most Mumbaikars are glowing accustomed to. Efforts by the civic body to somehow reduce the congestion have so far been unfruitful.

Anyway from Koper kharaina to Lower Parle I changed four trains to reach my destination. This was first time that I changed four trains within three hours.What I goanna going to say Mumbai dhimi local train and also local train are so much rush. I cached one local train, the train is too much rush, even also no place to keep on foot, people are gathering in front of the gate instead of going inside. In a bogie you can noticed that passengers are excess, No air to take, it was very difficult to take me air, Through out my traveling I didn�t get any seat even also no free place to stand. My shoe was getting full of dust and my shirts that you can determine. I was thinking how the people are daily traveling in local train.



So the local train filled to capacity, with people hanging out of the doorway, and perched atop the train. This is a sight most Mumbaikars are glowing accustomed to. Efforts by the civic body to somehow reduce the congestion have so far been unfruitful.

One traveler was traveling this train with her four children, I was noticed her, at that time I was thinking how she traveled in rush train. I asked that lady, Madam how you traveled in dhimi local train with your child, even also no space to stand. She told what we will do bus service is not available frequently and also train. I was thinking when I will reach my destination. I didn�t get any bus so I thought I have to return by train, I was booked ticket form Lower Parle to Dader I got empty train, so think it�s ok., then I went to Kurla. In kurula station I was waiting train to vasi station, after few spend I noticed that one local train is coming that is only local not dhimi local, Iasked one gently man, this will go Vashi, he told yes, what I will say, the train is full of pack, this train just stand only 2 minutes, according to me in two minute it was very difficult to inside such a rush train, I missed that train any how I cached another train then I reached Vashi station.So this was my first experience travel in local train, really traveling in local train is very dangerous. So when traveling bewares pocket kepper, in local train there is chance of thief.

According to me Mumbai should needs Bypass Surgery

Mumbai needs lot of infrastructural as well as techno-politic upgrades need to be implemented in order to guarantee a comfortable ride to the average Mumbaikar. Generally the �rush hour� needs to be tackled as well. More people should not drawn toward the public transport system.

Experience in BEST Bus Travel in Mumbai

Mumbai previously Bombay, capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. As of 2009, Mumbai is the largest city in the world in terms of population, with the city proper having a population of around 14 million inhabitants and along with the neighbouring cities of Navi Mumbai and Thane, it forms an urban agglomeration with around 19 million people. Mumbai lies on the west coast of India and has a deep natural harbour. Mumbai is also the commercial and entertainment centre of India, We can find all categories of people like industrialists, film-stars, artists, workers, teachers and clerks - all living cheek-by-jowl in soaring skyscrapers and sprawling slums. They come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and speak over a dozen tongues, adding colour, flavour and texture to the Great Mumbai Melting Pot.

There is a reason why am writing this topic. Every body knows Mumbai is one of the most major cities of India. We can find various people from various state and country. So life is busy and much faster then in Mumbai compare to other cities of India.

Some though might say Mumbai bus travel is a form of distress. The hopeful might call it a �life experience�. That�s why the excellent train network is the preferred transport in Mumbai where available.

The only disadvantage which is common to all Bus travel is the traffic on the roads. No big city anywhere in this world is free of traffic jams. Same is the state here. It takes around 1 to 2 or even 3 hrs sometimes for a one-way journey. So total of minimum 3 hrs traveling everyday!

I always travel in BEST Bus. Some how the bus service provided by BEST good but not better. I am last 2 months in Mumbai and traveling in BEST bus every day. What I feeling every day from BEST bus services that I am going tail.

Less frequency of buses

There are lots of people who travel daily on Best Bus. Most of them have monthly DIAMOND pass which cost Rs 1000. But the service provided by BEST is not equal to the standard except the buses. The frequency is very low that people have to stand for 1 and half hour. The people generally depend more number of frequency in morning and evening due their office

Bad service of BEST Bus

Few buses of ticket collector have no knowledge how to behave with other. They behave like a illiterate person, they are not punctuality in their job. Irregular Bus service. The bus services are totally bad. Day by day the frequency of this bus is going down. Now days i have to wait for 1 hr or sometimes more for this bus. Many a times 4 buses comes in 5 minutes gap and then for 2 hrs no bus. The drivers sometimes didn�t even stop the buses at bus stops though not their fault coz no1 can enter the jam packed buses.
