Hello all, I’m back. Sorry I haven’t been updating in the last few days, couldn’t be helped. Was up in Lonavla at my friend Suppi’s bachelor party. Came home early yesterday so that I didn’t miss too much work. Had a great time, though I bruised my knee as I tripped over a small wire fence there. Lonavla is up in the Ghat mountains, on top of a plateau in between Pune and Bombay. It’s about a 2 hour drive up steep mountain passes along a dangerous highway (not just because it’s very steep up in the mountains but India being India, one has to share the road with dangerous drivers.
A lot of crashes happen from speeding, sleeping on the wheel and dangerous driving (like cutting the inside lane then slowing down rapidly in front of other car). But with a competent driver at the wheel, mishaps like these can be avoided. Lonavla is a small town (about the size of mallow by my guess) and is used mainly as a retreat destination by both people from Pune & Bombay. It’s famous for it’s Chikki, a sort of dried fruit bar, and it’s fudge, which is a sticky sweet tooth destroyer. Nearly every shop supplies it, so there are loads to choose from. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to send any home as it’s restricted under the fruit/vegetable laws.
Must go, have to research colours to use in a mosque. I’m thinking dark royal colours (based around Green as that is a holt colour for Islam) with some light colours to contrast.
