Murud Janjira '' SUCKS ''
Murud Janjira

Dear Friend, Beauty as they say is in the eyes of the beholder. If you have enquired before turning back for Khandala you would have discovered that the boat ferry to the fort does not take off from the beach (which I agree is dirty) but from a place called Rajpuri a further 20 min drive south from... Murud town. I also agree that the road journey from Alibag to Murud is horrendous with bad roads and traffic jams at Revdanda. However the beaches of Kasid and Korlai more than make up for that. I suggest that you go once again in Dec or Jan when the weather is better. I am sure you will enjoy yourself. Nilesh.Read More

Tehelka - The Aftermath

Notwithstanding the fact that the Tehelka journalists have adopted the most unconventional methods to bring out in the open the rampant corruption that has become part of our daily life, I still feel that they could have done it such that they did not bring the government to a halt and thus defe...Read more

NOW Vs VSNL
Now ISP

They claim to have their private International Gateway. So why should they be dependant on VSNL? I guess they just do not have enough lines. Hope they improve their service fast.

NOW Vs VSNL

I registered to use NOW ISP after seeing their ad coming out of the woodwork in Bombay. I must confess that the registration process was easy and painless as I could do it using my existing VSNL account. I was also thrilled when I got 57K connects. But hold on. Thats only when I could get the...Read more

Most of us may not know that it was somewhere in the proximity of this beach that the RDX used for the Bombay Bomb blasts in 1993 landed. To approach the beach you have to turn west at Mangaon on the Bombay to Goa NH 17 about 2-3 hours drive from Bombay. On the way you pass Mhasla - once agai...Read more

Kihim Beach - Facts, some unknown
Kihim

Hi Kishore, Nothing's going to change because we the people put up with it and don't protest enough. Lets use this forum to let the government know how much we dislike them and what we think of them. I have known of many people almost losing their lives for nothing more innocent that emba...rking or disembarking the contraptions that they call ferry boats at Gateway of India and at Mandwa. Until these people sue the government of Maharashtra its business as usual for them. Glad to know that I invoed some happy memories. I still like Mandwa and its still sleepy when you drive through its interior roads. Cheers.Read More

Hi Sandra, I agree with you that the beach is dirty. What to do - we are like that only!! Sadly I have learnt to live with dirt so as not to spoil my holidays. Don't get me wrong.

Most unfortunately if you try and tell s...omeone that he should not dirty the place - at best he'll laught at you and at worst you might end up with a fight on your hands.

Murud Janjira is perhaps an one of a kind of fort. Now with a road coming up from Pune to Kolad on the NH17, its easier for people from there also to visit this unique bastion of sea prowess of the Siddhis and the Marathas. While its just a day journey from Bombay, if you stop to take in the ...Read more
