Are you a football freak!!?

Is football all over your mind?

Then this is really gonna shake your mind!!! All you football freaks….Manchester City Football Club may be in India in the near future! Manchester City officials are in India these days looking forward to set up a Manchester Academy here in Lavasa!! Now that’s what I say “Prosper India Prosper”!

The academy will be accessible to residents of the Lavasa township and will train children from 9 to eighteen. Apart from a constant physical presence, the club will have online training facilities for its students. Opportunities will also be given to children from outside Lavasa to train with the club academy. Coaching children will initially be done by the academy coaches available before identifying local coaches and training them to take over.

The western trends & games seems to have made a great impact on our Indian youth today. Why would one mind, till the time the youth of today gets to learn something out of it. Who knows tomorrow we might have an apna Indian ‘Carloz Tevez’ setting football records or could be that we have a huge fan following for Football.

Kuddos to Lavasa!!!!

Want to get away from the city heat??….want to enjoy the rains with your loved ones????

But one second guys….yeah I know its hard to think of getting drenched in these polluted, unhealthy and not at all eco-friendly cities…And yes how to forget water logging…..?Oh gosh……..

Pompous promises made on building a better infrastructure which will not hamper the cities with water floods…But guys what happens when it rains heavily…..for instance 26^th July 2005???? What after that???

Every year in Mumbai you ought to face floods, long hours on the railway platforms and yes no electricity!!Phew…..

Today rains are a threat to our so called urban and high standard cities……

Wish all these obstacles just vanish. What if we had our office just next to our residence…no worries about heavy rains, frequent transport and all the required facilities just round the corner!!!

Been to Lavasa? Heavy greenery around……..clean and neat environment……eco-friendly surroundings….and yes no water logging problem at all !!! Lavasa cities are built in such an organized manner that in every city one need not go far than a kilometer away to fetch for things he requires.

From schools, corporate buildings, shopping centers,fun activities and all the daily requirements just round the corner…Don’t you think we need more such organized and systematized cities like Lavasa?? Check this out!!!

Hot steel machine,

She roars to get started,

She never questions my demands,

She is as faithful as a hound…….

She guides me thought the curvy turns,

Wants me to be safe and sound,

Its my passion to save her life, which she deserves,

As I know our love for each other lasts……..

The whole feeling of riding on my bike

The amount of effort and lies, to buy this amazing machine,

The feeling of pride,as I say” I OWN THIS”,

While riding with my girl…….

A sense of fulfillment,

Runs through my mind,

Here I am on the road to Lavasa,

To explore much more…….

Passionate riding on the road to Lavasa,

The never ending road races by,

No one can stop me now,

I feel like I can fly……..

Lavasa partners with Bamboocrafts Limited!!!

Ever wondered how many Bamboo species are there in all??? With 125 different species, India possesses nearly 45% of the global bamboo reserves.

The valley of Lavasa itself cultivates 6 species of Bamboo, giving Lavasa an opportunity to come up with a bamboo workshop which shall then utilize these resources in a systematized and fruitful manner so as to generate self economy within the given space..

Lavasa Bamboocrafts Limited, is being set in association with Konbac, the daughter concern of INBAR(International Network for Bamboo and Retain)which has commenced operations at Mugoan Lavasa. This workshop houses over  65 workers.

With a tensile strength equivalent to steel, bamboo products are value-for-money, long lasting , eco friendly and beautiful.

The products manufactured, would be sold by the name “Bamboosa” under two sections: Artifacts and Furniture. Products under the category artifacts are clocks, trays, lamps shades, hangers etc..

Various sorts of sofas, comfortable chairs, double beds to display shelves…all made here at Lavasa… !!!

Check out the beautiful creations by  Bamboosa at Lavasa!!

Aren’t all these reasons worth visiting Lavasa???

Looking at the current errant situations in the State of Maharashtra, where power cuts are more regular than your local trains what could be worst than this!! The tiff over two powerful companies has taken a toll on our cities, soft target being our suburban cities.

What does a citizen ask for? What are the things that he needs the most??Well….at least in the summers we need electricity 24/7….I bet nobody would disagree with me on this!!

So why is the common man suffering? Why cant we have a government or a private sector promising us with the basic requirements like water, electricity etc…?

I guess we need more systematized cities where much preference is given to the basic requirements of a human being. We need cities that are built on the basis of how we live today. One such well organized city that awed me is Lavasa.

Lavasa

A ride to Mumbai from Lavasa is usual….but wait a minute…!!! Journey on a cycle?!?! Now that sounds challenging!!!

Renuka Jhakar, a communication management trainee at SIMC, started her journey at 6.30 am from Lavasa. An uncommon journey, she hitched a ride with a couple of tempos then caught a rickshaw to make it in time for the Pragati to Lonavala.

From Lonavala she got on her cycle and headed straight towards her friends house on Yari Road. She set her camera so as to capture all the riding moments till Mumbai.

At 6.30 pm she reached Sion. Just a few shops and stops to ask for directions set her back a bit. Although she wasn’t too tired, she set back on the journey to Pune in a Volvo.

Check out the snaps that she took at every stop!!!
