  • I stay very close to Vasai Fort in Pachubander. Every week or two I do visit Vasai Fort and especially this Chakri Maala (as native people call this place). Despite regular visits to Fort my love for this place goes on increasing. Sitting on top of this Chakri Maala in seclusion is very nice experience observing Dark Orange Sun ready to take a dip into Arabian Sea. I always find it spiritual. Where I think my beloved friends Sea, sun, trees, birds & sky will communicate with me some day. But people with blind sense mind can’t see this beauty and are great danger to such places. Vasai Fort definitely needs maintenance and should be protected from Sense inclined evils found in most of the corners all around the Fort. Why no one is caring for such places is always been a question. Please save this place, save my childhood..
