Industrial visit to GHAATGHAR.


We all in front of dam wall



While surfing through, Saw some candid snaps of our visit to Ghatghar dam. The trip blasted like kilos of dynamite. We had a never forget fun. Well it was my first ever long distance trip with my college mates. Ofcourse we had "a college guyz" fun alltogether. We danced like any indian wedding ceremonial dance all the way in a narrow gangway in that 3x2 luxury bus. 
Malshej ghat was like a day-dream for us. Not a bit to believe. It throws all its grandeur over you while advancing at a slow pace through those narrow tortuous roads. Konkan felt a little hotter than Pune. 
Guest house at Ghatghar dam was a typical govt. guest house. Food we had there was good for our hungry bellys. 
Inside of ghatghar dam is amazing. Those godly machines and monstrous pipes feeding them reminded me of the movie titanic. The scene was same as that of those huge crank shafts vibrating furiously. Here crank shafts were absent but machinery was same huge.

Technically speaking, We saw two francis turbines, which are reversible flow turbine. It means that they can even be used as pumpms when there is scanty demand of electricity. 
MIV (Main inlet valve) is the only thing that fascinated me as a mechanical engineer. The way the work has been executed, i was speechless.

Wow... The moment I took a bath after a long break of 4 days, the world seemed like singing as a lark... I am sorry but believe me I can give 100 valid reasons for not having bath these 4 days. 
My friends taunted me like hell when I declared midway in a lecture that I hadn't take bath for more than 3 days. Tushar clinched his nose with his fingers like ambience stank up like hell. I literally was not stinking at all. I was feeling like I was sick. 
Finally I reached home panting like a dog after climbing up 3 long staircases.
