DAVID BECKHAM – STYLE ICON

David Beckham is undeniably one of the most stylish men alive. He is world famous, both for his football and his fashion. Married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), his family oozes fashion through and through.

We’re going to have a look into Beckham’s various looks, from his smart suits for award ceremonies, to casual everyday attire, Beckham definitely knows how to dress, and now, you can too.

David Beckham became famous through the footballing world. His career blossomed playing for Premier League side Manchester United, and he then had stints at Real Madrid, LA Galaxy and Paris Saint Germain. Now retired, he is mostly photographed for his fashion

In a suit, whether to collect football awards in his playing days. Or attend premieres and formal events now he’s retired, Becks certainly knows how to impress. In this look he is wearing a pressed, dark navy suit. Paired with a white shirt and simple navy tie; his look completed with a pocket square

    Dressed down, Beckham still emulates style. He favours dark blue jeans, left slightly baggy around the ankles, paired with tan boots. He combines the dark  jeans with a jet black shirt. The top button fastened gives his casual look a smarter appearance, and is often completed with sunglasses.

Finally, when it comes to sport and athleisure wear, David Beckham still manages to make the most casual clothing look stylish. Here he is wearing baggy Adidas sweatpants, paired with a grey jumper, orange/red Adidas trainers and an orange beanie hat.

Mahuli_Fort_Trek

  Finally visited one of the beautiful place, Mahuli Fort which was on my list from a long time on 16th June 2019. 

     We hired a 4 seater auto rickshaw from Asangaon station to the base village Mahuli which cost us 250 Rs(yeah its a standard price, they wont take a penny less than that). After reaching the village, Auto driver told us that it would take 30 mins for us to reach to the top.

My friend was happy as he wont have to spend much energy to reach to the top of the fort. We had awesome kandha-poha at the base village and then we started our trek. We had to cross a small river which had very less water at that time. Then we met with a large group after 15 mins of walking and climbing. My friends also decided to take rest along with that group while I decided to click few pictures of the beautiful flowers on the side of the walk. 

     Then we moved forward or i should say upward leaving the group behind. After few mins of walk we saw few trees with fully bloomed Karvy flower which is very rare as it blooms only once in a 7 years. i was really surprise to see around 100s of Karvy in a single place. Then after few clicks we moved forward and suddenly the path became heavenly beautiful as it was covered from both side with the charming karvy flowers. We walked, we climbed but the path did not end, nor the Karvy on the way which made my day even far before i reach to the top of the fort.

      After 2 hours of walk-climb, we found a ladder path which was little tricky, so we had to climb it carefully one at a time. I saw water body little far away after climbing the ladder which I thought is a lake, when we moved closer, it was nothing but a water tank. While taking rest near the tank we met the group we left behind. The left route from this tank goes towards cave, we took the right route along with that group and after another 15 mins walk we came to know that we are at the top, there is no particular structure like fort. As we moved little further, we found a small temple of Shiv-ling under a tree which was looking so beautiful. Near to that temple there was a Hanuman Darwaza and few caves. People who come through the difficult path from Vashind station, enters to Mahuli Fort from this door called Hanuman Darwaza.

     We found drinkable water near the temple and had our lunch then we decided to descend towards base. The rain-lord was happy with our performance so he blessed us with the continuos rain till we reach to the base from the top. Many insects were coming out and the beautiful flowers were dancing in the rain. The descend was little tricky as rain made it little slippery. It took us 1.5 hours to reach to the base and it was almost dark, we took Auto to reach Asangaon station and got local from there and reached Mumbai around 8 pm.

    We were so happy to push ourselves to complete this medium level trek. Not 100s or 1000s, we have witnessed a lot more than 10000s of karvy on the way to this awesome fort and I have never seen so beautiful pinnacles anywhere else what i have seen at this fort. Carry enough water and food with you as you will find water only on the top of the fort but no food is available after you cross the base village. A group who went near the bhadargad site which is near the caves, saw a leopard, so take precaution on that and travel in a large group if you ever planned to visit this fort. 

Thank you for reading...Happy Trekking :-)

DP's Cafe

                  DPs is an awesome pure veg hang out joint, surely for the Ruia collegians and even for people who specially go there to enjoy a good meal at very moderate prices. There is a large place with outdoor seating arrangement as well. DP's serves a variety of Fast Foods and has been doing so since a long time. (I have heard that it has been there for more than 50 years). You need to be very sure of what you want to order otherwise the extensive menu at DPs will surely leave you confused!
                  
          Although Dadar and Matunga have many other good restaurant sbut DPs seems as one of the best option! I’ve been to DPs before and there is no doubt that they are good with street food – be it Chaat, or South Indian or Chinese. DPs is at around 10 mins walking distance from Dadar(east) station as well as Matunga (Central) station. Mind you, Matunga Central and not Matunga Road of Western railway. Both stations are very much different and I make this very clear because much confusion has been caused in the past because of the non-clarity in names.

Me and my friends made a lunch plan and went to DPs around 2pm last week. The place was not too crowded (although was more than 50% full) and our group got 2 tables almost immediately. There was nothing much to browse through in the menu as the food was almost pre-decided. Orders were immediately placed and then we comfortably began our never-ending banter. 

Within no time the first course arrived – Sada dosa, Masala Dosa, Pav Bhaji, Masala Pav. All of this was well made. Suffient Bhaji is provided, so two extra pavs are a must with every plate of Pav Bhaji. Second course was no less different – More Pav bhaji, simple veg pizza, masala Uttapa, Idlis and Thumsup. Food is certainly not extra-ordinary but nevertheless, very enjoyable. There were a few friends who joined in late and had to be content with coffee and Sada dosa as we were almost nearing the end of our meal. Although we were stuffed, my friend and I (both Chaat lovers) decided to order a plate of Dahi Batata Puri towards the end. That too was really delicious; so much that we had to order another plate as 6 puris in one plate did not prove to be enough.

We had great time, Next time if we want to eat only such type of food and no better option came out by then, it would be DPs again!
