To Lonavla and back!!

A trip to the famed Lonavla was just what i needed after a week of hectic activity. And it came comfortably under 200 bucks. What a bargain!! There were 13 of us, the 3 of us and 8 IIT Roorkee guys. Took a local train to the place and then hired a Qualis and an Indica over there. Rs 1200 which turned out to 100 for each guy! Pretty decent , i wud say.
We hit some 6 points, as they were called. The air force point and the wdhwa dam were notable..The rest were so-so. One guy at Tigere hill in Khandala showed us Shah rukh khan's and Dhirubhai ambani's bungalows, the places where jungle and taal were shot..all in 5 minutes! He charged Rs.5 for his fair which was done convenieantly through his binocular.
The hills reminded e of home, and i did feel a bit home-sick. I hope that auto driv er didn't take it too seriously when i told him to take me to Manipur!!
