I love my country.I know a many who would love to run off at the first opportunity but I love everything about it.Food..(obviosly I am a veggie),people,colours even the haggling one needs to do at every point.
I have became quite a pro in writing travelogues i guess.Offlate I have travelled to so many places that i feel more of a nomad and less of an MBA.worse I hate to plan and backpack trips at shoe string budgets are awesome as they are crazy.
This time the plan was to cover North India and to roam as long as theres only return ticket fare is left. So I joined the gang in jaipur post their escapeds in Rajasthan.The trip at chokhi dhani was brilliant but too much of oil and ghee gave my stomach jitters next day.
So we embarked our journey to Agra..roamed around Fatehpur Sikri the whole afternoon.Saw Akbar`s grand residence and his huge bedroom..i m dead sure it was not meant for only Jodha.saw the mahal`s of other queens and the small tunnel for Anarkali.
Later in the evening saw the symbol of louve..love or no love in life..the place is majestic and impose itself that one cant stay unawed.watching sunset there was touching experience.It makes you place the surroundings above the self ego and that whole feeling can give you immense peace.
Our next destination was chandigarh.The rock garden can get monotonous but i am awed by the perseverence of Mr Tek Chand ..i mean to create something out of the garbage so beautiful is commendable and also one has to be with the dream for so long.Some people are so strong willed that they not inspire you..i am rather embarresed than motivated.Someday I`ll do something big.:)
From Kalka to Shimla in a toy train was also an awesome experience.The small little thing along the tiny tracks.Didnt somebody said that the journey is the reward :)
