Journey to Matheran

Matheran was discovered by Hugh Poyntz Malet, the then district collector of Thane district in May 1850. Lord Elphinstone, the then Governor of Bombay laid the foundations of the development as a future hill station. The British developed Matheran as a popular resort to beat the summer heat in the region.

Matheran is connected to the town of Neral which lies at the base of the hills. A badly maintained road connects Neral to Dasturi Naka which is 11 km (6.8 miles) from Matheran. In order to maintain Matheran's uniqueness, no vehicles are allowed beyond this point. The other mode of transport is a 2-ft (610-mm) narrow-gauge railway, which links the town to Neral. Neral also has a broad gauge station which is on the busy Mumbai-Pune route. The Matheran Hill Railway was built in 1907 by Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy and covers a distance of 20 km (12.4 miles), over large swathes of forest territory. Matheran has been declared an ecosensitive region by the Union Environment Ministry. The main form of transport within Matheran are horses and hand-pulled rickshaws.

Matheran lying in an elevated region, it enjoys a cooler and less humid climate which makes it popular during the summer months. Temperatures range from 32 °C (90 °F) to 16 °C (61 °F). Matheran has a huge number of medicinal plants and herbs. The town also has a large monkey population, of both the red-faced and black-faced breeds. The nearby Lake Charlotte is the main source of Matheran's drinking water.

Men Vs Women

Men are a rational species. We are socialize to think rather than to get emotional. Unlike women who tend to be raised on Barbie & dollhouse. We are raised on sports like soccer, badminton & basketball. As a result men tend to see things as black & white, win or lose, like a ball game! While women tend to be better at working in teams & cooperation.

Men tend to see things as a definitive! There is an absolute perspective of an issue. Men tend to be more firm on their answers, believes & positions. Men tend to seek for solutions rather than talking about the problem. A lot of men find talking aimlessly about a problem is in reality POINTLESS. Men enjoy using a mathematical approach when conversing e.g 1+1must be =2. We like to make a POINT, rather than talking about the scenario over & over again.
Communicating.....

In essence man are a much simpler mammals than women are. We tend to be somewhat straightforward in our approach to communication. Women are so complex in their approach.

For illustration purposes:

Man: Honey. I have to go out, do you need anything?
Woman: AGAIN?!

Man: Why? Do you mind if I go out?
Woman: No!

Man: OK! Bye….
Woman: It’s just that you’ve been going out quite often.

Man: OK? Than I’ll stay at home to accompany you. (Smiles)
Woman: No! No! I want you to go out & enjoy yourself. (This is the classic trap, the woman is actually saying something she doesn’t mean here)

Man: OK than I’ll be going…….
Woman: FINE! (Angry)

Man: Are you angry with me?
Woman: NO! GO!

Man: If you want I can stay!
Woman: NO! GO! GO HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

Unlike women, men do not talk in riddles! In this instance the woman should have been direct in her approach. If she wanted the guy to stay all she had to do was to SAY IT! If she wanted the guy to go all she had to do was to SAY IT!

There is an absolute answer that in my humble opinion could have saved a lot of unnecessary conflicts in this scenario. So a piece of advice to the all ladies listening, throw caution to the wind & get to the POINT when conversing with the opposite sex. It would be much easier to understand our conversation style than it is for us to understand yours.

PocketMod: The Free Disposable Personal Organizer

PocketMod: The Free Disposable Personal Organizer

The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner.

The PocketMod is a small book with guides on each page. These guides or templates, combined with a unique folding style, enable a normal piece of paper to become the ultimate note card. It is hard to describe just how incredibly useful the PocketMod is. It's best that you just dive in and create one.
