IOL Memories

Ah.....Illusions Online - My first IT company
Where I had a memorable journey of 4.5 years
Many times I remember – Our small office group no less than a complete family, Deewan Center, London’s Richmond office, our trips to UK
Design cell (Vanny, Sanchita, Mamta, Mukesh, Vijay, Rajneesh), Admin (Aditi), Account (Swati, Reshama) and our office front desk babe miss Kamlesh Kaur :) (not in any snap here, trying to search)

Cannot forget – our picnic times, office parties, night out in boat @ gateway, drinks with geet, vishal, dinesh and all gang @ Galaxy, Oasis and sometime on the bar @ goregaon station, don’t remember its name.

I don’t think I ever had such a nice time after that

Thanks Mohsin to keep those snaps with you and very sorry as I have stolen them from your IOL Album on facebook

Maria, FM I wanted to put your individual snap (again stolen from Mohsin’s album) on this blog page but thought to take your permission before

Mansoon day out in Lohgarh and Lonavla

It was just start of rain in and around Mumbai. On last weekend of the June, we felt like to drive and enjoy the cloudy nature. If you are in Navi Mumbai the first place comes in mind for such day out is Lonavla (1 hr safe & smooth drive from Navi Mumbai). We got in our cars & started driving for Lonavla early in the morning. It was getting cloudy all around and sun was playing hide & seek in the clouds. As we reached Lonavla found there was much darker clouds touching the hills & down in the vally. Surrounding was looking very beautiful. As it was just start of rain there was not as much greenery as normally happens during rain but still climate and surrounding was very good. As we had visited Lonavla many times before we were deciding for the spot to spend our day and suddenly Lohgarh came in our mind which is around 10 kms ahead from Lonavla and it has very big lakes and nature is untouched there. As this is not connected by public transport and very few people know about that place, you normally don't find much crowd there. It was around 20 mins drive to reach there as way was through ghats and was very zigzag, even road was quite narrow. But as we reached near lake and parked our vehicle we found it was not bad idea to drive another 10 kms to reach such place, the scenery was amazing. We had a typical picnic with family, got wet in water and took a drive on boat along with family.
Here are I have shared few pictures, which will better describe beauty of this place
