Chalo Aurangabad

Arya and I were discussing our holiday plans and checking the office calendar when we realized that Monday is a holiday on account of Ram Navami.

The next holiday falls only on August 15!!

So we had to make the most of this 'long' weekend. And that's how the plan to go to Aurangabad materlialized, quite literally out of thin air.

On the way back home, we bought our bus tickets to Aurangabad. The bus leaves Thane at 2230 on Friday and reaches Aurangabad at 0700 on Saturday. We will then check in to a hotel and dump our bags there. That gives us the whole of Saturday to explore. On the agenda is Ellora and Daulatabad fort. After a rest at night, we plan to check out Ajanta on Sunday. We are catching the night train/bus on Sunday and will be back in Mumbai on Monday early am.

Hopefully, we will get to rest on Monday unless we have to go to office in the afternoon to conduct some more interviews for a few vacancies here.

I really need to get the digicam. WIth my meagre resources in mind, I have decided on the Canon Powershot A95. It's a fairly decent chap who gives me 5 MP with 3X optical zoom and also allows me to customize the aperture settings, focal length et al. Semi-professional stuff. Of course, I will upgrade to higher cams once my budget allows me to.

Alrighty then, see you all on Monday. Have a good weekend!
