Secondly, the building or group of buildings must be used or required for carrying on agriculture on the agricultural lands or for collecting rents or revenue from those agricultural lands. Lastly, there should be connection or nexus between such building and the lands which itself can be used as a dwelling house, store-houses or as an outhouse. If these conditions are satisfied, then the cost of construction of the buildings or the group of buildings or the facilities or comforts provided therein, has no relevance to the claim for exemption.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I then asked permission of the
court to produce the actual sale instance printout which I had collected from
the igrmaharashtra web site. The court had a look at it and even the Complainant’s
counsel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 70.9pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I explained the court that the
Counsel is referring the advertisements and not sale instances. The sale
instance has<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>date of registration.
Registration number and other things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 70.9pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Out of the three properties
valued one land was a Fram house land. I was able to justify the valuation
based on the sale instances and the explanation of difference between the N A
land and the Farm land and it potential.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

valuation we had furnished was of ` 70 Lakhs for the farm house land and the
figure in the mind of the counsel and the complainant was ` 522 Lakhs i.e a
difference of @ 695000 USD. As per the state law in USA in case of divorce the
division has to be 50% to each of the party. So if I had not attended the
court, the respondent might have had to pay the complainant 50% of 695000 USD
which is a big sum in USA.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: blue;">Srilanka Cycling Tour by Just Ride and Life Cycle coordinated by Mandar Gadre ( JustRide ) and Nachiket Joshi ( LifeCycle )</span></b><br />
<br />
From 9th Jan 2016 to 16th Jan 2016<br />
<br />
I wanted to cycle in Srilanka for a long time. I got inspired by the photographs and stories of my friends Arun Kadekadi, Shrikant Gurjar and others who had toured Srilanka 2 years back,<br />
Finally after a lot of deliberations and discussions Jan 2016 was fixed for the trip.<br />
Then the research on internet started. We decided to follow the route done by my friends. Then I started researching on internet about hotels, costs etc.<br />
at First I charted the routes on Strava ( A premier sports application for tracking cycling, running etc. visit strava.com ).<br />
<br />
Initially the trip was to be purely a cycling trip but then got converted into cycling cum leisure trip.<br />
I then contacted Snapstar tours for helping us choose the hotels and logistics arrangements.After lots of deliberations and discussion we finalized the hotels.<br />
<br />
The SCT members were<br />
Mandar Gadre<br />
Nitin Bhalerao and Indu Bhalerao<br />
Manoj Erande<br />
Bhupal Patwardhan and Dr.Vasanti Patwardhan<br />
Dr.Shirish Ghan and Dr.Swati Ghan ( Karkare)<br />
Ramdada Jadhavrao and Asmita Jadharao and Master Mihir<br />
Dr.Avanti Binniwale<br />
Meena Barot<br />
<br />
Indu, Vasanti and Asmita were our support system.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The schedule was<br />
Day 1 10/1/16 Colombo to Hikkaduwa 92 km <a href="https://www.strava.com/routes/3855242">https://www.strava.com/routes/3855242</a><br />

<br />
We decided to carry our own cycles to Srilanka.Then we got the cycles serviced. and then got them packed at Life Cycle. The mechanics at Life Cycle were fast and efficient as they packed the cycles swiftly and neatly. They also explained to us how to assemble them.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The boxes were packed and ready to travel,<br />
We started our journey by bus on 8th evening to catch a flight in Mumbai. The bus arrived on time and after loading the cycles we started for Mumbai .गणपती बाप्पा मोरयाच्या घोशात आमचा प्रवास चालु झाला.<br />
We reached Terminal 2 of Shiv Chatrapati Airport by 11 and proceeded for check in and customs. We missed upon a major point @ information of the cycles.<br />
We had to explain the custom officer that the bikes are used and old. After lot of discussion he advised us to write letters containing information of cycle frame number, colour and details of make etc on declaration and we got them stamped and proceeded for immigration and just made the flight on the last call.<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: yellow;">Lesson learned</b><br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Carry the bicycle bill with you.( If it is not available forget it )</li>
<li>Know your cycle frame number ( which is etched below the bottom bracket see the photo below ).<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</li>
<li>Prepare the letter containing all the information like frame number, colour,make, type etc addressed to the Custom Officer of the airport in duplicate and get it stamped.( This you will require when you come back.)</li>
</ol>
<div>
Finally we got into the aeroplane and relaxed. Landed in Colombo at 6 am in the morning and were received by the tour manager and proceeded to hotel. After check in and breakfast we started assembling the bikes.<br />
Assembling the bikes is a great learning process. We did a great job and luckily we got the help of a local cycle shop dealer to do the fine tuning and we were ready to go.<br />

The Galle road runs from Colombo to Galle which is the major National Highway (A2). The road surface was smooth and terrain was flat . We had decided to regroup after @ 25km or whenever we would see a coconut water stall. As soon as we were out of Colombo we were greeted by the Sea on our right almost throughout the ride. The weather was pleasant and every one was in a great mood.<br />

We reached the hotel by 12 30 after covering a distance of 94 km and had good fish and some beer . Evening some of us went for sight seeing while some of us headed for the sea and then in the pool.<br />
<br />
<b>Day 2 Hikkaduwa to Mirissa</b><br />
We started at 6 30 in the morning as the distance today was only 52 km. The route again was along the sea side and very scenic and beautiful. Fortunately we got good cloud cover and it helped us a lot.<br />
We passed over the famous Galle Cricket Stadium<br />
As usual we took नाारळ पाणी on the way.<br />

<br />
<br />
We had a great time there and stayed up till late since the next day was a rest day.<br />
We moved to Nuwara eliya by bus. We had to put the bikes in the tempo so we again removed the front wheels and packed them<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The distance is @ 250 km. We reached Nuwara by evening and settled for a good dinner and rested well for the next day. En route we came across a big water fall and then a long climb.<br />
The hotel at Nuwareliya was <b>Heaven Seven</b> which had an old colonial look and the manager there was very polite and resourceful. He took care of the bikes and allowed us to keep the bikes right in the reception.<br />

In the afternoon we visited the famous Sigriya Fort . The fort is on top of the huge rock mass where you have to climb more than 1000 steps. It was a great experience to climb after a hard ride of 90 km. The view from the top was awesome.<br />

<b>Day 6 Sigriya Jungle Road Ride</b><br />
We set out on the road which leads to Trincomalee. We rode in that direction for @ 20km and returned back and we were delighted to see a family of wild elephants by the side of the road. We had a quick sight of them before they would get irritated.<br />
We returned back to the Hotel and started packing the cycles.<br />
By evening we were back to Negombo and then after a short rest proceeded to airport to return to India.<br />
We had a great trip. All of us gelled very well and we had lots of fun.<br />

The logistics by Snapstar Tours <a href="http://www.snapstartours.com/">http://www.snapstartours.com</a> were excellent and the tour guides were courteous and helpful. I thank Mr. Tushar Mhetre and his staff for the support and booking of Airline, hotels etc.<br />
Our friend Vinayak Apte sponsored the event jerseys.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Srilankans are very polite and they observe strict traffic rules. In the entire travel of @ 550 km we came across only 4 speed breakers. The country is ready to welcome you with open arms.<br />
<br />
We are looking forward to a next trip soon..<br />

<br />
Last Sunday on 7th Oct 12, I had a fall from cycle and broke my collar bone. I picked my cycle and reached home . Till then I was not aware of what had exactly happened. I was having a look at my injuries, cleaned the scratches and applied ice pack on my shoulder. After sometime I realised I could not lift my let hand easily. It was paining . I called my doctor and reached hospital.<br />
X ray done collar bone fracture - doc gives the bad news and puts a clavicle brace and hands over me a prescription and few instructions.<br />
1 No movement of shoulder.<br />
2 clavicle brace to be used for 24 hrs till next visit.<br />
3 No driving for next 2 months and cycling for 3 months.<br />
<br />
I am back home now. My wife is shouting at me out of her love and anxiety. By evening I get used to the brace and go to sleep with restil taken.<br />
<br />
Day 2<br />
I am not able to move my shoulder easily. The arm is paining and also the rib cage. I get ready with assistance and go to office. Except the injury to left side and left elbow and left knee rest of the things are ok.<br />
The routine begins except I can not drive and exercise.<br />
Today I try to find out information on collar bone fracture and I see a lot of information on the web. The things look positive.<br />
Friends visit me and present me a sling.<br />
Day 3-4-5.<br />
The pain is subsiding now, and I have started to understand it pains in the rid cage if I laugh. So you got to hold your rid cage and then laugh , a new lesson learnt today. I also found out that the arm also is in pain, icing icing an icing but no curling of arms with the ice in the glass.<br />
Day 6<br />
I call my doctor and ask him for permission to walk. Now I am allowed to walk at a moderate pace.<br />
First week is over week 2 begins with lot of new hope and energy.<br />
<br />
<b>Week 2</b><br />
Day 7,8,9<br />
Allowed to walk, so started walking and feeling much better now.<br />
Day 10<br />
Visit to doctor - Doctor was happy with the development of the fusion of the bone. Allowed me to start stationary biking..<br />
<b>Week 3</b><br />
Waling daily for @ an hour @ 5 km. Did some long distance travelling as a co passenger. No pain during the travel or even afterwards.<br />
The pain in the collar bone has reduced but the muscles around the shoulder are giving trouble. I find less strength in the arm movement. Everyday the movement of the arm is better.<br />
Got the x-ray done yesterday 31-10-12. The bone has healed now , the doctor has said 15 more days and I can start driving the car. Cycling still a month to go.<br />
<b>Week 4-5</b><br />
Recovery very good. Followed strictly what the doctor had advised. Yesterday (15-10-12) visited my doc. He allowed me to start driving the car. Very soon the clavicle brace will go away.<br />
<b>Week 6-7</b><br />
Started doing gym cycling. The left hand movements are much better. Now I can raise my hand over my head. Waiting for the doctor's permission to start cycling on the road. Now it has been more that 51 days so far.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Le Tour Pune Goa - 27-29 th Sept 2012.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">गोव्याला सायकल चालवत जायचे हा किडा बरेच दिवस डोक्यात वळवळत होता. ४-५ महिन्यांपुर्वी ठरवले की तयारी चालु करु यात आणि मग प्रत्यक्ष किती जण नक्की हा प्रवास करणार याचा अंदाज येईलच.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The group was formed and a daily routine of cycling was decided. Everyone was doing about 25 km daily and 50-60 km on weekends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As days passed , every one started feeling much better and the confidence level went up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To get used to the climbs and the distance, the group cycled all the way to khambatki ghat and back to pune (140+) ,once to kamshet and back ( 100+ km ,) and once climbed the bopdeo ghat too. A Sinhgad climb on cycle was also done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally the month of the Sept 2012 arrived and everyone became aware that the countdown had begun . The D-day was approaching fast. In between the गणेशोत्सव was to be taken care of with lots of मोदक to be eaten. भरपुर मोदक खाऊन आम्ही सर्व जण तयार झालो.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every cycle had good lights and tail lamps for safety. Most of us were wearing protective safety vests</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had the most powerful light known as Magic Shine MJ808. It is the best. We started and within an hour we were at Katraj top. It was decided that we would be riding in pairs or threes and not alone. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was riding with Prasad joshi and Aniruddha. They were actually tailing me and utilising my light. We were averaging @ 20 -22 km per hour by then. We crossed the katraj tunnel and took a small break and started again towards khambatki ghat. By 7 we were at the base of the khambatki. We ate लाडु आणि energy bars and started tackling the ghat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had climbed Khambatki ghat last year when I had done Pune- Panchagani - Pune -200 km ride. I must admit that with the practice and guidance from my cycling buddies, Satish Apte ( माझे गुरु) , Sanjay Joshi and Col. Hasabnis there was a tremendous improvement when I climbed khambatki this time. I was at the top of the ghat waiting for my group to arrive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bhau (prasad joshi) and aniruddha arrived shortly after me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soon we started our descend and reached Hotel Virangula, We had breakfast of idli and tea. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had created a relay system. The group who reaches the designated spot will wait till the group behind them arrives. Prashant and Manoj had already reached there so they left immediately when there breakfast was over. By the time we finished our breakfast Geeta and Sunil Ranade arrived. We left handing over the relay sheet to them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We reached Satarai by 9-30 to 10. We had a tea at a nearby hotel and proceeded.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We would stop in between to top up water and eat an energy bar or something after @ 1 hour. Bhau and me were pacing nicely and aniruddha slightly behind us. Bhau is a tough guy with the experience by cycling in leh and ladakh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We took a small break outside Satara and then decided that we will stop at karad. So we were spinning with a good decent pace and suddenly realised karad was just few km away and around 12.-12-30 we were at Hotel Sangam. Again the same relay system. Prashant and Manoj were hogging at food. We ordered our food. By the time the food arrived I ould catch a small nap of 15 min . Bhau and aniruddha and I slept on कट्टा in the garden restaurant of Hotel Sangam. That 10-15 min of rest really helped me to recoup the enegy levels. We ate some pavbhaji and some juice and started from Hotel Sangam. By then we had covered more than 160 km with @ 40 km to be done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So bhau suggested let us ride for 10 km and take a minute break and carry on. This was a good idea..With 20 km left I started getting impatient and got a downhill and there I broke away from them. I carried on with my pace. In between I was keeping an eye on the speedometer, the distance was reducing 15, 10 and then under ten. And finally I could see the hoarding of Sai International saying Hotel just around the corner. To my surprise it was really around the next corner. I had reached the hotel by 2.30 pm covering exactly 201 km. The hotel is @ 38 km from Karad and 30 km from Kolhapur. The hotel is very nice and they serve good food.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The day 1 over. The support vehicle was with the rest of the group. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next group arrived around 4pm and the last members by 5.30pm. Everyone had reached safely. By the way, all of us had completed the 201 km in the prescribed BRM time of 13h 30 min.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I must say something about Geeta,Rupali and Shilpa. They were consistent and kept riding at their pace and reached the hotel. <b style="background-color: red;">Helmets off to all the ladies !</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ravi Ranade had a puncture. We had two spare cycles so he changed the cycle and continued. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The support vehicle arrived with the last group and we got our clothes. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had nice hot water bath and relaxed and slept for some time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dinner was a quick one and every one was off to bed. We had decided that we will start at 5 am in the morning on day 2.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Day 2 - 28 Sept 2012 - The hotel served us with toast butter and tea coffee at 4 am in the morning. By 5.30 we were ready to start. After some minor checkup and tweaking we set off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Again the same group of bhau,aniruddha and me started towards kolhapur. After 15 km we stopped as I needed to put some ointment on the left calf. Ample use of volini was done.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The journey started once again. The road was smooth with some patches of concrete roads. Today the pace was less than yesterday. Soon I met Prashant at the bridge with Manoj. Manoj and me started pacing and he also realised pacing is good so we continued together with Prashant to Nipani. Bhau and Aniruddha were together with Ravi and Atul. At the bridge we stopped for a break to grab some bars and chocolates and saw Sanjay and Shilpa coming.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once again we started and were pacing towards the Satywati Ghat. This one was a good climb. It was similar to New Katraj Ghat and slighly with more gradient. The Sun was bright by now. We kept on going and reached Hotel Kaveri at the top. More than 50% distance of day 2 was covered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We ate some nice idlees, coffee and refilled water and started towards ajra. We were welcomed with a very rough patch of 7-8 km till the Maharashtra Karnataka state border changed. Then the road was better. Like this we reached the Uttur phata. I used the two downhills to my advantage to relax and take rest.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our trio of Manoj, Prashant and me kept on going towards Ajra. We stopped at Ajra junction and ate some good बुंदीचे लाडु. , filled up water, and proceeded further till we stopped at a small mandir to take a break.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I used the downhill to my advantage and I was ahead of Manoj and Prashant. Suddenly a rocket whizzed by me. That was Sanjay Karandikar . I tried pacing with him for 2-3 km and gave up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally I reached at the turn of Amboli with the board reading "Amboli 10 km ". It had started raining by then.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today we were clever so we asked the support vehicle to come ahead of others and reach with us to Amobli . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The rain was moderate fortunately not as strong as the monsoon one. For the last 10 km we were riding in rains.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally I reached amboli and saw Sanjay waiting for me at a tea stall. There I grabbed some parle G biscuits had tea and we reached the hotel around 2-2.30 pm. Within a short time Manoj and Prashant arrived followed by Geeta, Sunil and others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Day 2 over with riding of 149 km </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">गेल्या गेल्या दुपारी मस्त पैकी चिकन मालवणी व पोळ्या उडवल्या व पो्टोबा जरा शांत केला.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">रात्री काही जणांनी माफक प्रमाणात मद्यपानाच कार्यक्रम केला आणि त्याल जोड मिळाली ती मस्त सुरमाई व चिकनची.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The hotel staff at Amboli was very courteous and they served us exciting fish, कोंबडी वडे, चिकन तांदळाची भाकरी असे उत्तम जेवण रात्री मिळाले. सगळ्यांना सडकुन भुका लागल्या होत्या त्यामुळे भरपुर वेळ आमचे जेवण चालुच होते.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We dedide that we would start at 6 am the next day to Goa.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every one was ready, but the hotel was not able to give us breakfast so early. So we ate whatever we had like energy bars, chikki etc and started. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started my downhill and reached the base in @ 35 min. The road surface is not so good at certain sections of the ghat. I was careful and worried about the possible puncture. So fat no puncture and no problems.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I realized I had come much ahead so I waitied.. Shilap came after some time, we had tea and finished a pack of biscuits. Others were enjoying the ghat and shooting photographs and taking it leisurely. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soon I reached Sawantwadi and stopped at Shree Renuka for good idlee and tea, I had snacks at this hotel earlier also. This is opposite the Sawantwadi Bus stand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I was having my breakfast Sanjay, Shilpa and Prashant went ahead. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I was on my own and started on my way.. After some time I reached the banda village and joined the highway. Now I realised Goa was in sight.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I met Prashant at a hotel nearby with shilpa and sanjay. Prashant and I started together and decided that now we would ride together till the end. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By now the pace had dropped down. The Sun was shining brightly and the humidity level was high. At 31 km away from Goa, there came a deadly climb.. चक्क शिव्या घालत घालत तो चढ चढला. We stopped there and got some cold water and literally emptied the bottle on my head. and T shirt. I</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We started and carried on.. We had realised the distance is now reducing and it was playing on the mind too. Every km passing by, the task was becoming more and more tough. Suddenly we saw the board Panaji 10 km and we shouted with joy. There we met the Goa Randonneurs Mr. Aires Andrade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally we reached Hotel Orion, Panaji Goa at exactly 11.30 am.</span></div>

I had recently graduated from Hybrid to Road. So it was an opportunity to achieve. I had done Enduro 40 + recently. Sanjay, Satish , Alok and Aba and me started doing regular practice rides to Chandani Chowk @ 25 -30 km daily. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />With the guidance of Satish Apte ( Former National Cyclist - done many events ) the improvements were seen in everyone's riding. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />We had done our preparation perfectly. The diet was modified to more carbohydrates. Finally the day arrived.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />We reached the start point at University of Pune Main Gate at 5.45 am. After completing the formalities we started at 6 am sharp.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />It had been raining heavily the day earlier and also on Friday. Fortunately with the God's grace the skies were clear and it was not raining in the morning<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Sanjay and me were riding together and Alok, Aba and Manoj were together. We reached Katraj Tunnel easily by then the legs had warmed up and the feeling of reaching the first ghat was there.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Soon we were out of the Katraj tunnel and reached the Khandala by 9 30 am. I had one bottle of water and the other of Hy speed drink . Got the water filled there and ate some cake which was with me. All the way I was munching the dry fruits and drinking water and the drink regularly.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />The khambatki ghat was the first to be accomlished. I was thinking about the ride section by section. Started the climb and reached the temple took a small break and grabbed one energy bar. Started again cycling and reached the top in 30 min. It was time for some photography. Got myself photographed over there and started the descend and soon reached the Wai phata. </span><br />

The ride from Surur to Wai had moderate ups and downs. The road condition was not as good as the highway so it was not so easy to pick up speed. On top of it the rains had made the road slippery and in certain patches mud was on the road. I had few scarry moments when the rear wheel suddenly slipped but fortunately I managed to regain control and kept going. Refilled water at Wai and ate some cake and started the Pasarni climb.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />By then it was @ 11-11.15 am. I had decided to maintain my cadence and continue at a decided pace. After some time I reached the Pasarni Temple. Till then I had covered @ 4 km or so. Still 10 km to go. After that I changed my strategy. Legs were getting tired. So I did @ 2 km at a stretch then a small halt for water and continue again. With this I could manage the ghat without getting fatigued. Finally I could see the paragliding center board and then realised that I am near the Ghat top. Continued further and then saw the long line of cars to pay the road toll. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">Then finding my way through the long line of cars reached the parking space near the bus stand in Panchgani, by then the time was 12.30 pm. Met my friends over there and refilled the water and ate something and started the descend immediately. Stopped just before the descend started and took a photograph. </span><br />

It was a great filling once I reached the Panchagani top. Told myself 50% job is done ,still a long way to go.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Started the descend, fortunately it was not raining so I could speed down. But had to control the cycle and it was streneous to hold the brakes and keep the cycle in control. Finally I reached Wai and stopped for refilling of water and continued further and reached near surur phata. Just before surur phata took a break, had good 2 glasses of tea and ate some cake and did some stretching and continued the journey.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Reached surur and joined the highway. Soon I reached Shirwal and realised that I have to tackle the last difficult climb. The distance from Shriwal to Toll naka of Shivapur is @ 25-28 km. The climb is of @ 200 m. Started the uphill journey. It was the toughest part of the entire ride. I was watching the km stones and assuring myself that you are there and distance is reducing every time. I met one of the riders enroute who had stopped for a bite, waived him and continued further. In between I was eating energy bar, dry fruits and filling myself with the drink and water. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Finally I reached Khed Shivapur Toll Plaza and I was relieved that the climb is now over. I stopped at a hotel got myself a good tea and ate the last piece of cake I had. Washed my face and started peddling toward Chandani Chowk. The journey was yet to be over. It started raining heavily just before the Katraj Tunnel. The visibility was poor and the rain was hitting me badly but I continued and reached the tunnel.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Soon I was on the other side of the tunnel and I hoped the rain would stop, but the rain followed me. I knew I was few kms away from the finish so just kept on pushing further and reached the Warje bridge. Crossed the bridge and finally reached Cafe Coffee Day at Chandani Chowk by 5.53 pm. Reported to the officials and completed the event.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 26px;">Total Distance travelled from Home to Home @ 220 km. The speedo shows 226 km, this photo was taken on the next day. It shows the magic figure of 220 + reading</span><br />

पु. लं. - अखेरचा अध्याय<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'हॉस्पिटल' हा शब्द ऐकला की माझ्या काळजाचा (की हृदयाचा?) ठोका चुकतो. त्यामुळे डॉक्टरांनाही मी आजारी असल्याचं घोषित करणं सोपं जातं... साध्या डासाच्या रक्तानंदेखील मला गरगरतं. पूर्वी एस. टी. च्या मोटारीखाली आलेली म्हैस बघण्यासाठी पुढे सरसावलेला मी रक्ताचा ओघळ पाहून मागे परतलो होतो... हॉस्पिटलमधे जायचे प्रसंगही तसे माझ्यावर कमीच आले. नाही म्हणायला आमच्याकडे 'दुष्यंत' नावाचा कुत्रा जेव्हा होता, तेव्हा त्यानं केलेल्या स्वागतात सापडलेल्या पाहुण्यांना भेटायला (संबंध बिघडू नयेत म्हणून) मी हॉस्पिटलमधे गेलो होतो!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
यावेळी मात्र मामला वेगळा होता. माझी प्रकृती थोडी नरम वाटल्यामुळे (किंवा कुठलीही गोष्ट मी नरमपणे घेत नसल्यामुळे) मंडळींनी मला हॉस्पिटलमधे नेण्याचा 'घाट' घातला. (अलीकडे 'वळण' जरी 'सरळ'पणाकडे 'झुकत' असलं, तरी 'घाटा'चा 'कल' मात्र अजूनही अवघडपणाकडेच आहे हे यावेळी माझ्या लक्षात आलं.) हॉस्पिटलमधे जायचा पूर्वानुभव फारसा नसल्यामुळे मी काय काय गोष्टी बरोबर नेता येतील, याचा विचार करू लागलो... पण मी नेसत्या वस्त्रांनिशीच जायचं आहे आणि कपड्यांची पिशवी मागाहून येईल असा खुलासा मला करण्यात आला. बाहेर पडताना मात्र मला उगाचच एच. मंगेशरावांनी बटाट्याच्या चाळीचं शिष्टमंडळ पाठवताना लावलेली 'ओ दूर जानेवाले' ची रेकॉर्ड आठवली.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
हॉस्पिटलच्या खोलीत दाखल झाल्यावर मात्र, मी स्वतःवर आजारपण बिंबवण्याचा वगैरे प्रयत्न करायला लागलो. (उगाच डॉक्टरांचा हिरमोड होऊ नये म्हणून!) डॉक्टर तपासत असताना मी चेहरा शक्य तितका गंभीर ठेवला होता. अर्थात मला तपासणाऱ्या डॉक्टरचा हिरमोड झाला नसावा, हे तो त्याच्या सहकाऱ्यांशी ज्या अगम्य भाषेतून बोलला, त्यावरून मी ताडलं. (बारा भाषांमधे मौन पाळता येणाऱ्या आचार्य बाबा बर्व्यांच्या सान्निध्यात काही काळ गेल्यामुळे काही अगम्य भाषांमधल्या संभाषणाचा रोख कुठे असावा, हे मी ओळखू शकत होतो. हे डॉक्टर्स जी भाषा बोलतात तिला 'मेडिकल लँग्वेज' म्हणतात आणि ती इंग्रजीच्या बरीच 'जवळून' जाते हे मी तुम्हांला खात्रीपूर्वक सांगतो!) ... त्यानंतर काही वरिष्ठ डॉक्टरांनीही येऊन मला तपासलं. आता माझी खात्री झाली की आजार खरोखर गंभीर असावा आणि मी चेहऱ्यावर गांभीर्य नाही आणलं तरी चालेल.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
अशा रीतीनं माझं हॉस्पिटलमधलं बस्तान बसू लागलं, बसत होतं - एवढ्यात नकळतपणे - मला हॉस्पिटलमधे दाखल केल्याची 'बातमी फुटली'! (फुटते ती बातमी आणि फुटतो तो परीक्षेचा पेपर अशी एक आधुनिक व्याख्या मी मनाशी जुळवू लागलो.) पण काय सांगू? बातमी फुटल्याबरोबर मला भेटायला अनेक मंडळी येऊ लागली. 'व्यक्ती तितक्या प्रकृती' हे जेवढं खरं आहे तेवढंच 'व्यक्ती तितके सल्ले' हे माझ्या लक्षात आलं. किंबहुना 'एका व्यक्तीमागे दहा सल्ले, तर अमुक व्यक्तींमागे किती' अशी गणितंही मी मनात सोडवू लागलो. (मला दामले मास्तर आठवले.) लोकांचे सल्ले मात्र चालूच होते... 'स्वस्थ पाडून राहा', 'विश्रांती घ्या' इथपासून 'पर्वती चढून-उतरून या' इथपर्यंत सूचना मिळाल्या. (एकानं 'सिंहगड'सुद्धा सुचवला!) 'प्राणायाम', 'योगासनं' पासून 'रेकी'पर्यंत अतिरेकी सल्लेही मिळाले! काही उत्साही परोपकारी मंडळींनी जेव्हा 'मसाज', 'मालिश' असे शब्द उच्चारले, तेव्हा मात्र डॉक्टरांनी मला तऱ्हेतऱ्हेच्या नळ्यांनी आणि सुयांनी जखडून टाकलं आणि लोक चार हात दूर राहूनच मला पाहू लागले.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
हळूहळू माझ्या भोवतीचा हा सुया-नळ्यांचा वेढा वाढू लागला. (अगदी दिलेरखान आणि मिर्झा राजे जयसिंग यांनी घातलेल्या पुरंदरच्या वेढ्यासारखा!... मला हा विचार मनात येताच हरितात्या आठवले.) यानंतर माझी रवानगी आय. सी. यु.मधे (बालेकिल्ल्यावर?) करण्यात आली... अशा विचारांतच मला झोप लागली...मी डोळे उघडले तेव्हा आय. सी. यु.च्या काचेतून मला बघणारी माणसं मला दिसली. मी हसायचा प्रयत्न केला; पण जमत नव्हतं. अरे! पण हे काय? या सगळ्या माणसांचे चेहरे असे का? यांच्या डोळ्यांत पाणी का? मी हे असे शून्यात नजर लावलेले, भकास, उदास चेहरे कधीच पाहिले नव्हते आत्तापर्यंत! (अगदी 'बटाट्याच्या चाळी'च्या कार्यक्रमाच्या वेळेची लोकांची कुरकुरही बटाट्याच्या चाळीबद्द्ल नसून बटाट्याच्या वेफर्सची आहे हे जाणून घेतलं होतं मी!) आणि हे असे सगळे चेहरे माझ्यामुळे? ज्यांनी हसावं म्हणून मी कायम प्रयत्न करत आलो, त्यांचे चेहरे माझ्यामुळेच असे व्हावेत?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
नव्हतं सहन होत मला हे. (आणि त्यांनाही.) मी डोळ्यांनी सुचवून पाहिलं मला काय म्हणायचं होतं ते. त्यांना कळलंच नाही ते! की कळूनही उपयोग नव्हता?... ते सगळे लोक समोर तसेच होते. अखेर मीच पुन्हा डोळे मिटले... अगदी कायमचेच...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

So we thought of reaching the New Katraj Tunnel. You can see Rtn. Mandar Gadre, Rtn. Vishwajeet Dhotre Rtn. Prashant Shintre, Rtn. Deepak Bodhani and Rtn. Sunil Hingmire and the youngest member Rahul son of our friend Sachin Joshi.</div><br /><div>Friends we did it. It was all the way up and up till we reached the Tunnel. We had few newcomers who have joined us for the last 2-3 rides. But they managed to do it without and problem. Everyone was so happy to actually reach the Tunnel.</div><div>One of our friend lost his way while following us and instead of coming on the bridge which leads to the Shindewadi he went straight and reached the Katraj Naka. Never the less he coninued cycling without getting bored and feeling lonely. Friends he is our own 65 years young rtn. Anand Nawathe.</div><div>आमचा हा ग्रुप आता एकदम घट्ट झाला आहे. आता पुन्हा एकदा लांबच्या ट्रीपची तयारी केली पाहिजे.</div><div>मंदार.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-71406636727392031512010-02-17T15:34:00.000+05:302010-08-16T21:47:27.697+05:30Cycle tune up and trainingI took help of my friend Satish Apte , he corrected my posture and lot many things and gave me some fine tips of cycling.<br /><ol><li>First of all he made me correct the height of cycle seat to suit my height. He made me rest my inner arm on the sit and askedme stretch my hand till the centre of the front sproket wheel. The rule is that generally your tip of the finger should touch the center of the sproket. )</li><li>Once we adjusted the seat it made a huge difference when I started cycling. My legs were extending fully and there was no pressure on knees. ( पाय पुर्णपणे लांब झाले पाहिजेत. ) You will have to keep on experimneting till you get a perfect position which suits you the best.</li><li>Then he corrected the way I was keeping my foot on the paddle. Your foot should rest on the paddle in such way that where the finger start, that portion should be completely on the cycle paddle. This helps in driving the force completely into the paddle.</li></ol><p>This two things made a huge difference in my cycling, I started cycling better and faster. </p><p>So we got Satish to give all of us a demonstration and tips during one of the morning cycling session. Every one was highly benefitted and encouraged by this act.</p><p></p><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-65124964825705245262010-02-15T10:45:00.000+05:302010-08-16T21:47:27.699+05:30Rotary Cycle Fellowship Group<div>Rotary Cycle Fellowship Group.</div><br /><br /><div>Fellowship and service are an intergral part of the rotary.</div><br /><br /><div>When I was coming back from the District Officers training program from Panvel last year in the month of April 2009 the idea struck to me that i can have a fellowship dedicated to like minded cyclist from the Rotary Clubs.</div><div>So I discussed this issue with few of my friends from the Rotary.

I mixed the soil and sand in equal proportion and cement to the tune of 8%. I took 25 kg of sieved sand and 25 kg of sieved red dry soil.<br />The sand and soil was cleaned free from any organic matters etc and then used. The mix was very workable. With the help of the mason I carried out this experiment. So far so good the plaster in in shape and strong and bonding very nicely to the brick wall. I have used on the external face of the wall and finished it using a sponge which we use for sand faced plaster finish.<br />See the photographs taken for last four months.<br />The cracks developed at the ends of the plaster edges after it started drying. The cracks are due to more % of soil. the shrinkage of material has taken place no doubt. But this cracks have not widened over for last four months.<br />I have posted the photographs of the last four moths. Have a look at them. Do please comment on this experiment.<br />Mandar Gadre<br /></span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUudPL0FKRI/AAAAAAAAAdA/L4KAWs-ZNGg/s1600-h/24082008766.jpg"></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUudPL0FKRI/AAAAAAAAAdA/L4KAWs-ZNGg/s1600-h/24082008766.jpg"></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUudyzhGRnI/AAAAAAAAAdI/O-9nrzmkq8U/s1600-h/24082008766.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281488484170090098" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUudyzhGRnI/AAAAAAAAAdI/O-9nrzmkq8U/s320/24082008766.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUubIoyr7oI/AAAAAAAAAc4/egZ04qU4CYM/s1600-h/141220081214.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281485560713309826" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUubIoyr7oI/AAAAAAAAAc4/egZ04qU4CYM/s320/141220081214.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUubIOGX7-I/AAAAAAAAAcw/MOEfvaFG8ik/s1600-h/14092008837.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281485553548128226" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUubIOGX7-I/AAAAAAAAAcw/MOEfvaFG8ik/s320/14092008837.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Photograph as on 18/12/2008 Photogrpah in Sep 2008 on the day it was plastered.<br /></span><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUubHmeQXEI/AAAAAAAAAco/Q8g2KKRVCnk/s1600-h/231120081156.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281485542910876738" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUubHmeQXEI/AAAAAAAAAco/Q8g2KKRVCnk/s320/231120081156.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUubHbBpIAI/AAAAAAAAAcg/8GbCdSUtzto/s1600-h/14102008959.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281485539838074882" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n_Xk40nK_bU/SUubHbBpIAI/AAAAAAAAAcg/8GbCdSUtzto/s320/14102008959.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Photographs in the month of november 2008 and October 2008<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844724014889358669.post-1657014667076219712008-12-16T16:01:00.002+05:302008-12-16T16:08:35.180+05:30Rotary Club of Pune Westend<span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"><strong>Rotary Club of Pune Westend</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"><strong>Dist 3131 Club No 52038</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#3366ff;">This club was founded in the year 2000 by like minded persons.
