Winding
roads fringed by the sea on one side, tall palms
swaying in the salty breeze, small and big houses
fronted with lawns, glimpses of educational institutions,
lazy pedallers on their bicycles riding alone
or with a pillion, friendly and curious children
watching you drive by....a quiet sea-side hamlet...that
is Bordi.
The ideal weekend getaway for harried, hassled,
nerves-at-breaking-point executives and the hoi
polloi, it's just 140 kms from Mumbai. A haven
of unspoilt beach, orchards heavy with chickoo
and miles of winding road waiting expectantly
to be explored, Bordi has hitherto remained untouched
by the greedy hands of commerce. You can soak
in its serenity and send a silent prayer that
there are still places like this to retire to
on a weekend. Hallelujah!!!
A local bazaar busy with women selling all kinds
of wares thrown up by the sea, a "beach resort"
here, a bhel puri house there, colleges for women,
engineering institutions, a railway crossing here
and Adivasi women there, Bordi is a blend of the
halcyon days and the modern....but not too modern
that you shun it.
Welcome then to your ideal getaway - Rejuvenate,
Relax and Rejoice!!!
