Come monsoons and itineraries for the ’few hour drives’ around the ‘twin silicon valleys’ (I venture to address Pune and Bangalore this way) are born over coffee tables (or should I say the cafeteria tables in our IT ‘second homes’- more so for my loved roomie Deepa whom I have the rare privilege of Cing – the IT syndrome u ‘C’).Actually these ‘getaway newborns’ are tended and looked after just like their human counterparts with everyone very excited and trying to nurture d plans with a tinge of their own idiosyncrasies. Boy! It definitely takes those wishful MBA (read managerial) skills to pacify and unify every one of those ‘DHIRUBHAI AMBANIS’ and ‘INDRA NOOYIS’ (I believe in equality of sex!) to scrap their Millions (again, read Mumbai) of individual plans (Mitesh, I hope u got the message but don’t worry, I’ll definitely fulfill my quota of ‘nakhras’ in days to come) and finally embark on the ‘kuchi-kuchi’ jaunt ; no doubt I have been only to a single place(Lonavla) in the past one year I have been staying in Pune.
