And finally Neeeeelesh/Manoj managed us to take on tour for KILLE(fort) RAIGAD and we really enjoyed all the moments after long time just because of them. Except some heartbreaking incidents everything is unforgettable that I would like to share with you all.
Raigad is a hill fortress situated in the modern day Raigad District of Maharashtra, India. The great Maratha king Shivaji made the fort his capital in 1674 when he was crowned king of a Marathi kingdom which later developed into the Maratha Empire.
The fort, which rises 820 m (2700 ft) above sea level, is located in the Sahyadri mountain range. There are approximately 1400–1450 steps leading to the fort, though today a rope-way exists to reach the top of the fort. The fort was looted and destroyed by the British upon siege.
“Fort Raigad is much more than a mere tourist spot. It is a sacred place of pilgrimage, which has left an imprint of the grand vision of Hindavi Swarajya as cherished by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.” It is a monument of his prophetic vision of Hindavi Swarajya.

while buying dream house ...
the mail I found in my mailbox, I thought you should know about... really meaningful. Read on ...
Guys there will be very big slack in 2008 in overall world.
In USA 17,000 People have lost there job in Jan 08.
No doubt India will also show effect.
It will directly affect IT industry.
Think before every buck you are spending.
Survey’s shows that IT People spends unnecessary more money than other professionals. Plan your monthly budgets properly.
Be wise, while purchasing or taking flat on rent.
Do not give Brokerage or other than rent. [Brokers are creating new trends in People’s that they should be in every deal] What’s need ?
Banks, Builders & brokers are directly eating your money.
Banks Gets loans from other countries in very cheap interest rates for different purposes & they are offering us with minimum 11-12%.
While Purchasing every flat of actual price of 10-12 Lacs you are giving
25-35 Lacs. With interest it goes more than 50 Lacs
Such loans are not with fixed interest rate for life time.
That means you are giving them more than 3-4 times amount what
actually it deserves.
Think for future
If in future you looses your job then
how you can pay the EMI of 10-15k.
No Doubt after 10-15 yrs if these types of slack comes.
News headlines will be like “xx IT professionals subsided
due to burden of banks for Housing loan”
Its a future call guys………….
Why IT peoples are going for flats.
Why don’t you people try for co-operative societies.
If you goes for societies you’ll get flats in 15 Lacs, with what you want ?
& no doubt that construction will be better than what builder’s are offering
Life of flats which are under construction or 5 yrs old will not be more than 50yrs
So buddies why you are giving 50 Lacs for 50yrs.
Instead of this co-operative societies have shown good qualities.
THINK THINK THINK THINK Guys
Its time to “HALLA BOL”
On builders, banks, brokers, & the people who are lootofying us.

Oh, No!: Bad Facts about our earth
* If you throw away 2 aluminum cans, you waste more energy than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) of the world's poorest people use a day.
* Making a new can from scratch uses the uses the energy equal to half a can of gasoline.
* About one third of what an average American throws out is packaging.
* More than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) trees are used to make disposable diapers every year.
* In one minute, 50 acres of rainforest are destroyed.
* Some rain has a pH of 3 or 4. (which is pretty acidic, considering 7 is neutral, not acidic, and battery acid has a pH of 1). Some fish, such as lake trout and smallmouth bass, have trouble reproducing at a pH of 6, which is only slightly acidic. Some clams and snails can't survive at all. Most crayfish are dead at a pH of 5. You can see how bad this is for the environment.
* On average, a person in the US uses energy two times more than a person in Japan or West Germany does, and 50 times more than a person in India.
* About 90% of the energy used in lighting a standard (incandescent) light bulb is lost as heat.
* Air conditioning uses 10 times more energy than a fan, therefore, it creates 10 times the pollutants.
* It takes half the output of the Alaskan pipeline to heat the air that escapes from all the homes in the US during a year.
* Cars and pick-up trucks are responsible for about 20% of the carbon dioxide released into the air.
* There are about 500 million automobiles on the planet, burning an average of 2 gallons of fuel a day. Each gallon releases 20 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air.
* About 80% of our trash goes to landfills, 10% is incinerated, and 10% is recycled.
* Since there is little oxygen underground, where we bury our garbage, to help bacteria eat the garbage, almost nothing happens to it. Scientists have dug into landfills and found ears of corn still intact after 20 years, and newspapers still readable after 30.
* The average American makes about 3.5 pounds of trash a day.
* In a year, the average American uses as much wood in the form of paper as the average resident of the developing world burns as fuel.
