My Kind of Place
SADHANA SARGAM
Homeward bound
Shows, rehearsals, recordings.the time I get between
all these is meant to be with the family. Leisure means
being in Pune, my favourite city. Favourite because that's
where my mother, brother, sister-in-law and a whole lot of
cousins stay.
As a child I have spent all my summer vacations with my
grandparents there. Pune is no longer the quiet neighbour
of Mumbai, where I live. Still, it's great fun when the family
gets together. My relaxation mantra is eating and chatting
with them. Even if I think of an outing, I plan it in such a
way that all of them are able to join me. It's usually a short
trip to somewhere near Pune or Mumbai.
As I like it
Depending on my mood, sometimes I love being in cities
buzzing with life such as New York. I have gone there for
music shows and thoroughly enjoyed its vibrancy. And
what did I do there besides singing? Shopped and shopped
till I knew I could carry no more.
I also loved watching an opera. San Francisco is also a
fabulous city. So also is Las Vegas. Not just swish metros,
calm towns and villages too appeal me. Ratnagiri (in Maharastra)
is one such town. We have an old-world house,
constructed with mud, near the sea
shore. There are lots of mango
and coconut trees all around
it. An amazing place to be
away from the madding
crowd. Though I am not
able to make it as often as I
would like to, earlier, I
used take two long holidays
and chill out at my Ratnagiri
home.
Travel...
It's
about
knowing
people,
places
and
more
importantly,
a good
way to bond with the
family.
However busy you
may be, step out
with the family and
see how nice all
the members
feel.
