Aaksa Beach, Mumbai


It was the second time in a year when I went Andheri, Mumbai to meet my friends. It hardly takes 4 hour by bus from Pune to reach there. I boarded the bus at 4:30pm Friday which took 1 1/2 hours to reach Mumbai-Pune highway only. It was a bad and a boring start.
I reached Andheri at 10:20pm. How can we expect to reach in time when we do have slow driving bus and unmoving traffic.
Next day we planned to visit Aaksa Beach at Malad which we heard in a song of movie 'God Tussi Great Ho'. I am sure many others would have already visited this beach soon after hearing this song.
At 5pm Saturday we hired AutoRikshaw from Inorbit (Shooping Mall), Malad for the Aksa beach which took nearly 25 minutes to reach there. Aksa is far from the crowd of the city. It is quite clean and wasn't packed by the visitors. Either this was the reason or we have become more responsible towards cleaning. Both of these are partially correct.
We were surprised to see the rates of food stuff in the shops at beach. Its was just approximate to MRP :), whereas in Railway Platform you will get the things nearly 5Rs more to the MRP.
It was the first time when I saw a beach. You can fell the difference in the blowing air and noise made by the waves. These noise instead of creating a havoc at your mind bring peace to it. But as the noise will grow you will scare as it means that big waves are on their way. So, don't let the nature go angry but respect it.
We played and enjoyed there till the sun set. The reflection of Sun on the sea was sparkling. Watching a sunset is always beautiful and watching it setting behind the sea brings natures one of the best gift to humans.
For returning back to Andheri we hired the auto to reach Malad railway station and then boarded local train for Andheri.
Its always a fun to visit there and yet again my trip to Mumbai was fruitful.
