Uttan beach is a new found place yesterday ie on Sunday the 18th of April 2010. It is close to Gorai beach and extremely scanty or very less crowded as compared to the obnoxious Gorai beach which used to be a good hangout place around 10 years earlier.
From the Mira Bhayandar flyover to the dead end of the road When U take a right towards Gorai, you read Gorai to be 12 Km & Uttan beach as 9 km away. Heading the same road to Gorai as U reach the Police Chauki and take an Uphill that leads to Gorai, instead U take a right that leads to Uttan Beach.
As U reach to the interiors of a calm village U would feel as if U have lost track and heading to a wrong direction but hold on an ask a local and U would be guided to 'Velankani'. Don't worry though since its the same place which leads to the Uttan beach. More famously known as 'Velankani' due to the statue of Mother 'Velankani' a place of worship for the Christians.
Right ahead would U see through the bushes of a small hill in the backdrop the soothing sight of the waves, kissing the silver sand and the breeze grazing past your ears assuring U that U've finally reached Ur Destination - Uttan Beach!
The beach is a small strip of land/sand coupled with a few rocky edges and ends in to a land-lock also making it close to the look of a Virgin beach. Very few people come here may be due to its small stretch and weak accessibility. But over and all I would rate it a good run away spot very close to Mumbai and a good new place to be once in a while, definitely better than Gorai.
PS: Carry your own snacks and beverages from the city since availability of the same in the interiors is sparse.

All Saturdays off is just cool!
All Saturdays off is just cool!
The way my boss announced it was by calling up a quick meet and opening up in a sad tone expressing disapproval over the mediocre work done lately at ofce and the wastage of electricity bills Computers and resources and then slyly declaring that All Saturdays will be an off!
The Crowd wooed in euphoria, Though from the corner came a little half hearted shout asking - "So what is the catch" and We come to know that we have to add up one hour extra every day to Vouch for all saturday's off.
Anyways, that still makes me happy as One complete day off Feels like an IT company and that means good long weekends too! (even thought that means reaching ofce at 10.15am)

Manikjee Cooper School Creating Traffic at Juhu tara Road Juhu Scheme
I travel from Andheri West Seven Bungalows to Lower Parel via the Link rd and Pass the Juhu tara Rd and when I pass the Manikjee Cooper School I can see that they are Creating Traffic at Juhu due to Parents coming to pic their kids via their cars and creating a bottle neck.
The road in concern is the very well know Juhu Tara Road which extends ahead of the Very Famous - Juhu Beach of Mumbai. "The Best Stretch of Land in Mumbai" as I call it where Land meets the Sea at very close quarters.
This Juhu Tara Road extends towards the Santacruz Station end where it narrows and exactly at this point is this Manekji Cooper School situated.
During peak office hours also which coincide with the school leaving times of students in the morning say by 10:30 am these roads are laden with Posh bulky stretched Cars waiting in parking mode right on the stretch with drivers waiting in the cars to be driven off and Moms of Children and Caretakers loitering around the road creating a huge bottleneck of traffic right at the peak morning hours.
Traffic police should notice this pattern and fine to School and its Parents / Guardians who create such nuisance. Its also the duty of the school authorities to ask the Parents of their school children not to keep their cars waiting right at the sight of the narrowing road and hence create convenience for the bypassing traffic.
