Day Ride to Lonavala

One of the best ways to 'survive' living in Mumbai, they say, is to get out of Mumbai whenever you have the opportunity. 

And one of the best ways to 'get away from it all', is a road trip with friends. Well, if you're lucky enough, those friends also ride motorcycles. 






And if you're in India, THE motorcycle to ride is a Royal Enfield.

I don't usually post much about my job (which I love), but here's a little promo of a TV channel airing a special just on us. 

This coming weekend CNBC TV 18  will be airing a 30-minute feature entitled Centerstage with ASB. Our Superintendent, Craig Johnson will share the important role all schools must play in preparing its students for a rapidly changing world and highlight the ways ASB is embracing this challenge. I thought you might like to tune in. The show aired on Saturday, February 20th at 4:30 pm and on Sunday, February 21st at 4:00 pm. Attached is a promotional trailer for the show.


And here's the broadcast in its entirety.

Nothing like stepping out of my building in middle class Mumbai to find 20 retired, American, white ladies standing on my street taking photos of the buildings, here on a tour from DC and come to visit their tour guide's mother who apparently is my neighbor.
They were pleasantly surprised to find me, too.
