Pune is a vibrant city, with a lot of choices- even more if you understand Marathi- of things to do. Plays, music shows (some free!) and events are on all the time.
One such event we attended.. these two were good singers- Pournima Waghmare and Uday. (first pic)
Golf I am yet to play, but the plays and music shows have kept me busy. Food outings and meetings with friends are also pretty regular.
We also have karaoke parties once in a while!
And if you still have the time, Mumbai is not far!
What makes a meeting or outing memorable? Could be many things, but an important thing is the warmth, among those meeting up. Or going out. Some instances I remember warmly, in pics-
Two that I can recall from the U.S.- a trip to Grand Canyon with friends in November. It snowed the evening we drove there, and we woke up to a surreal sight. Grand Canyon was blanketed by snow, and it contrasted well with the browns.
One more trip by road that I clearly remember was to Yellowstone National Park. Driving through and watching the geysers erupt, as also the various geological wonders, was fascinating.
Each Fall season, we would go for long drives into the mountains nearby to watch the interplay of colours - yellow and orange predominantly mixing with green- that presented a rainbow. Gatlinburg was a favourite destination, not too far away from Clemson. We also went to stay with Ron Green in Tennessee once in Johnson City during Fall. That was a beautiful drive.
Within South Carolina, Myrtle Beach and Charleston are two places I remember visiting- an impressive Aircraft Carrier-turned Museum, USS Yorktown was an attraction in Charleston, and the old Fort (not much by Indian standards, but historic).
