The eating areas are quite private. However the interiors do give a feeling of a maze... a bit confusing when all you want to do is feast.
Buddha awaits as you enter to indulge your taste buds with all that is Japanese.
Behind the mountain ranges on the left of the frame is the famous fort of Harishchandragad and one of the most beautiful landscapes of Malshej ghats.
Thats the storm. A few seconds after this was clicked, we moved into the tent, zipped up and prayed for our lives.... holding on to the sides of the tent and hoping that the few hundred lightnings that struck around us didn't strike our tent. Though I must say that I feel blessed to have experienced Shiva's dance of destruction (we call it tandav).
Last lights of the sun before the storm taught us a big lesson
There is a storm front coming in from the north east towards us. Normally in the initial months of summer when the day's been really hot storms and flash showers come in the form of northwesters. The north west was however deceptively clear.
Camping on top of Ratangad.
Thats a 3500 ft drop. Under the distant mountains you can see the river that will form the Bhandardhara lake.... dammed by the Wilson dam.
The summit of the mountain can be seen behind the watch tower. There is a path that goes around that top... giving amazing views of the valley down below.

Currently in mumbai.
I work as a creative director with a magazine publishing house in Mumbai, formerly Bombay. However, my home town is Calcutta, now rechristened as Kolkata.
I have a wandering heart and have realised that photography is one way by which I can earn my freedom from the big city life.
Hopefully one day with all your help, I can fulfill my dream of traveling the world and bringing back the innocence and magic that disappeared over the years of growing up.
