Ram Ram Mandali,
Intro.
So this is the story of celebrating my Queen's first Birthday after marriage as it was the first time we are going to be together without any time limit. Till now we used to take darshan first at Siddhi Vinayak Mandir and then we used to have a small celebration followed by long silence of getting separated. So as this time we were going to be together for the first time, Hence i want to make it very special. So here is the small tour and story which might helps you for planning your loved once Birthday i will try to minimize the personal stuff and try to keep it as proper travel guide as possible.Background
Making birthday special in Mumbai is quit difficult after certain years, because if you were in relation with same person for more than five years it make really difficult to find out the new place as you might have taken her everywhere in Mumbai, Few places are ever green like Marin Drive in my case but rest of the places like beach Aksa,Juhu,Gorai, will get bore after 2-3 visit's and even the Pubs and Hotels like marina plaza, hoppipola become your weekend gateways so this also dose not remains good options for celebration. Also as we are 9-6 peoples we just have 2 days to live i.e saturday and Sunday. for me it become very difficult as unfortunately that Saturday was working and her School starts at 7 on Monday. So I have very limited time to make it special like From Saturday 3:00PM to Sunday Night or max by Sunday late night. till 1 or 2 AM.
The Plan.
As every lady loves the surprises more than anything sometimes even more than you(just kidding)
so I have decided to make this Plan full of surprises So will not waste much time and tell u the story.
So I manage to convenience her that we cant go anywhere on this weekend as u have woking saturday and we will have very limited time so cant celebrate, So she was quit nervousness and as routine I dropped her to school at morning and by 1 i went to pick her as a daily routine and meantime I did our backpacking and some routine stuff and when she came we had food and asked her to get ready. at that moment she was really surprised but what I can see in her eyes was she was thinking we are going to some routine place like Viviana or marine, but the she saw the bags now she got sure that we are going out. so got ready and started the journey,
The location was surprise but it was easily guessable as after existing kalamboli only destination for Mumbai people is Lonavala. It dint took long to guess the exact place but she was sure that if there is something in his mind that's why he bring me here
So here I have booked the stay @sarovar portico Lonavala, So my review for this hotel is
Staff and transaction is quit smooth, Food is also nice, Room service is quit decent, Pool is like a family pool not much deep but okay for non-swimmer and most importantly the crowd, the crowd is really nice matured couples or family so you cant find CH%^&agiri here, so we got fresh here enjoy some pool for a while and came back to room and i asked her to get ready we were going out, so what I feel she might be thinking that we are going to tiger point or somewhere for cake cutting but then once we out from the room i closed her eyes and took her to pool area. she was shivering with scare and later when i asked her why so? the reason can't stop me from Laughing out Loud there
"Tu pagal hai muze laga tu pool me daal dega, Birthday surprise bol ke" it was amazing feeling
So when she saw the surprise she have no words to explain,
So here is the trick I have booked the room which is road facing, so the plan is let her not know whats going on back-end, and when I booked this place I have already told this guys to make the arrangements for birthday night. And The manager of that property and staff was really nice they made it amazing arrangement which shocked my Queen.So for me it was worth. :)

Surprise is Not Over Yet.
After having wonderful birthday night celebration we fall a sleep soon because of heavy travels on powerful Bike haha.. So she was thinking everything is done and we are going to home because Monday morning there is school, So we did packing and started,suddenly while driving suddenly she her GPS gets alert and she started questioning me why we are going here this side so i said this is the new shortcut which will lands us directly on the Old express highway, So the story went on till the time she saw this beautiful thing.
And then the surprise part two begins of the surprise I know she have height phobia and she is scared of amusement activities, So i have decided that i will take her to magic mountain only. to get her over her height phobia,
lil about this place now, This is an amazing location near Mumbai-Pune and the best part is like waterkingdom or Essel world or Imagica you don't have to wait here for long time for Rides, because there are many rides and due to less peoples as this place is new and rides are more.
They have many thrilling rides which are really amazing and furious, So we started with car fight and somehow I manage to convenience her to join me on the ride TURBO FORCE trust me it is the most important ride and its hardest to convenience her for the ride. But yes we did it.
