Apologies from God
You wanted to be the king of the land
And all I've made you is a pawn in my hand
The devil and I play a game of gore
And here is how we keep score
Taking turns, we play with your mind
And whom you obey, gets one point
You build me a temple and I'm in the lead
You crush it to dust and I recede
You build me a mosque, but all in vain
'Cause then the devil strikes again
You make, you break and make and break
And truly believe it's all for my sake
You snap and swear and cry in pain
Until it's too much for you to take
Perplexed, you look for guys to blame
And kill your brother in my name
It's not about the points any more
This, for me is a matter of shame.
I walk through your mind, trying to make a mark
But sometimes the door's shut and the room, pitch dark
The devil smiles at me from the inside
I humbly move on and let him reside.
You think you're smart and voice your views
You think you get to decide and choose
While it's just a game I play with the devil
And whoever may win, YOU LOSE.
Sorry dude... No hard feelings

Kailas Gad - Easy trek with mind blowing views
Had been to Kailas Gad on saturday. Not many know about this fort mostly because it is surrounded by more famous forts. It must have been only a watch fort during Shivaji's time because it does not seem strategically important considering that it is surrounded by Loh Gad on the Lonavala side and Sinhgad on the other side.
A road going right from the base of Tamhini Ghat takes us to a village named Waghwadi from where the trek starts.This road goes along the backwaters of the Mulshi Dam which is what makes a trip to this fort a refreshing experience. Also from the top you see the whole view of the backwaters surrounding the fort on three sides.
Here are a few snaps of the trip.
Some classic photography on the way
The bikes....The enfield looks the best as always :)
A Classic view on the way to Kailas gad. We could not resist waiting here for a while. Besides since we had cousins Digital SLR with us it was worth waiting.
The lush green mountains just made us feel refreshed already.
Whole group except for the Photographer...
Nice view half way from the fort. Mulshi Backwaters.
Beautiful view of the Kailas Gad. We had to still climb the mountain seen in the snap.
The queen of the fort we called her. She does not look less beautiful than Katrina Kaif. Thats the beauty of SLR. I was a little afraid that after clicking the snaps she would ask for her modelling fees. some 100 Rs per snap or something. We had clicked quite a few snaps of this lady.
Have you seen a flying Human? No it is not Milkha singh. It is our own SLR owner.
Finally the tired, exhausted group with a thought in the mind that we need to still travel 90 Kms.
All in all not a difficult trek, but a very refreshing one. Or you can say can be a romantic trek rather than a hectic one. Read More......

Mr Aurangzeb's city
Had visited Aurangabad on a weekend in May on my new unicorn. Was a great experience and I proved myself the quote that "Four wheels move the body while two wheels move the soul".
We were just two of us on two different bikes to attack Aurangzeb in his own city.
