Global Vipassana Pagoda, Essel World, Mumbai | Photo

Photo update: My kid had been very keen on visiting Essel World and Water Kingdom in Mumbai. We were unaware of a Pagoda (Global Vipassana Pagoda) being situated within the Essel World premises. Great we had a trip to it. Though this can be reached overland, but we had taken a ferry ride. The place where we boarded the ferry was pretty bad smelling mainly due to tremendous amount of trash in the water – wish the government had a clean up drive there.

It was pretty late returning back to the hotel, the ferry service was still available. I took this photo from the ferry itself while returning – It portrayed a marvelous view! Hope you like it.

The return ferry trip was filled with quite an extravaganza – the ferry had a music system installed and surprisingly were playing some techno music with a high volume – guys started dancing – it was entertaining, but the only thing scary was that the ferry was fully loaded with people and a pinch of danger arose within, but went fine!

A gorgeous New Year Gift from Mom – A Tea Pot

What a lovely New Year Gift I received – my mom’s on vacation with dad, now somewhere dwelling in the plains of India, but she had left me a gift wrapped up and had told me to open only on Jan 1, 2012, which is today. Oh she had left a note as well in the Nepalese language saying “This is a teapot I bought in 1978 and from all the teapots I had, I used them all, but this wasn’t. Maybe this teapot was meant for this day – Happy New Year, God Bless!”. Thank you mom!
