How Green Is My Valley

Monsoon started last month and according to the mets its progressing normally. Time dimension is always ignored: in Gujarat normal progress happened in 2 days and people had to make boats out of frying pans. While here around Pune, its really been normal and we have greenness all around. This is the best season to be around here, when valleys are lush, weather is rainily cold, light is dim and weekends are spent in greenness.

We went for a long bike ride to Mulshi dam this weekend. Although the monsoon will keep making things still green and greener, the whole view is almost green by this time. The rains have sort of stopped since the last week or so, but it started drizzling when we started climbing up. Driving in a drizzle with so much greenness around is always a pleasure.


Mulshi is also sort of different from other dams around here in the sense you can stop anywhere on the road around it, walk down a bit and take a dip in the dam waters. The road just goes on and on, and you just can't catch a break from the greening beauty around you.
