India's 1st Red Bull Soapbox Race

Soapbox or gravity racer is the race where homemade cars powered by gravity, race each other down the twists and turns... The car doesn't have engines, gas, batteries and uses only human power.. The construction can be of any shape and material, provided they weigh less than 80kg and compile with the dimension limits. That's, less than 6ft wide, 7ft tall, less than 20ft in length and 7in or more from ground. They will be given a push to get off the ramp. The teams will be evaluated based on speed, creativity and showmanship.
After watching so many promos on TV for more than 3 months, we planned to attend this event... The race was last Dec, at Mount Mary Road, Bandra. One of my cousins joined us this time.. Wondering if we would get parking at the venue, we parked our car near Leelavathi Hospital and my cousin took us through those narrow lanes of Bandra, which would reach us directly to Mount Mary church. Its almost a km walk and we somehow  managed to reach on time dragging our legs...
As we entered from back stage, we got to checkout the participants busy with their preparations... The event started off with the carnival...

Finally here come the contestant soapboxes... Each team were given a min to perform before they start off with the race. Then, they were given a push to get off the ramp, the contestant would reach the final goal crossing the twists, turns and hassles. The best and funniest part of the race is, due to their low weight they tend to roll down at the first ramp itself..

A Magical Show by Mickey and his Friends

Last two weeks have been wonderful for us, two Indiblogger meets Connected Hum Tum and Xtreme Drive and then a musical evening, Disney Magic with Mickey and friends. It was one of the contests on F/B which won me a pass for two for this musical show. The show was in Oberoi Mall, Goregaon..
Just like for any other event, i had to leave home early with my daughter.. We were to travel by bus till the venue, where my hubby was suppose to join us. Ours was 8PM show, somehow we managed to reach on time as we were asked to report 45 mins prior the start of the show. A grand stage was ready at the atrium. Checked at the counter for the passes, but were informed they were sold out.. Then the person guided us to another counter, when we told him that we were F/B winners.

A Connected Evening Indi, Hum Tum and Me

Wow, that was my first Indiblogger Meet and i was all excited... The meet was Zee TV Sponsored for the launch of Connected Hum Tum series which starts from 3rd of June. 
Connected Hum Tum
The meet was suppose to be at 7pm at The Leela.. I left home with my daughter at 5, as i had to drop her at my hubby's office at Sakinaka, which is just a few miles from the venue.. Anyways my hubby agreed to drop me to the venue at nth moment. I entered the venue and found few groups of bloggers. As this was my first meet, i didn't have anybody whom i knew.. I was all alone, looking for a lone blogger to whom i could speak to. Then came Upanasa and Nikitha, and i joined them... The Registration started by around 7:15, followed by few games, which were real fun.. Then was 50 secs of fame, where few blogger were selected in random to introduce themselves. Meanwhile there were few tweet contests. Then was THE twist in the event, all six contestants of  Connected Hum Tum were settled amongst the bloggers and the challenge was to recognize and get our pic clicked with them. The first one to finish all six was supposed to be awarded with Nokia Lumia... I ran in search of them, got all six and ran back to the host... Then came another girl with her finished pics, they declared it to be a tie and asked us to go for an arm wrestling to break the tie. I was defeated in no time, and that's how i lost that Nokia Lumia. 
Then, the stage was over to the Hum Tum team, intro of all the contestants, promos of the series, an interactive session with the team.
The show is all about six courageous women of different ages and on the brink exciting crossroads in their lives, who will put their innermost hoes, fears, insecurities, mistakes, triumphs, joys and sorrow out there for the world to see... These participants take hand held HD cameras and record themselves in their own houses, capturing all that they say and do in their most personal space. They will shoot themselves as they go to work, step out to shop or attend class.
I started my blog when i was in search of a platform to share my views and my feelings, but still its not that i blog about each and every thing. There are certain things which i would like to keep it for myself and so are called personal things. Capturing all that you say and do in your most personal space really needs courage.
Each one of them in the show is leading a different life from one another, a brand manager,  a dentist, a RJ, a corporate producer, a struggling actress, a theater producer... Connected Hum Tum, is where we connect our lives with the lives of those six ladies at one or the other instances of the life. Or we are living a life which is more or less similar to them. What your turn would be when you are in that situation, that thought might help you in resolving your own personal issues. Will the show guide you to lead a better life? Am looking forward to watch the show, which will be on air Monday to Friday 10PM on Zee TV, hosted by Abhay Deol. And Contestants Pallavi Burman(30, fashionable shopaholic, brand manager), Malishka Mendonca(34, Mumbai's No. 1 radio jockey), Sonal Giani(26, activist, theatre producer),  Madhavi Mauskar(53, foreign languages expert, corporate producer), Preeti Kochar(33, dentist, belly dance instructor), Mahima Chaudhary(25, struggling actress). 
Finally the group pic and we headed home with an Indi T-shirt after a dinner.
