Tour de India

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 :)

Being Fooled by Randomness..end of the story

Another very personal post.
I guess discussing personal life at public domain kinda gives a kick..like making out in public or jus normal PDA.Anyways its not a happy post.As I had said earlier about the story of randomness in my life I guess this is the epilogue.
Sometimes you wish to hang on to the relationships.Its funny why would I even try to do that considering I am not even ready for One but anyways i guess its over and done between my random friend.After lots of after thought status of my relationship stands at being the best friend at this place.So this location alliance was to come to an end.The tenure at the place is over so I need something more than randomness than to hold on to.when we became happy with status quo and where status quo is as bleak as black than its better to wipe it off and start afreash someplace else.
People say that I could have done better for myself but i disagree.It was a choice i had made so good or better I am what i choose for.And I do not have any regrets of the whole episode except certain drunk phonecalls.Alcohol can make a person feel sorry also more times than he should be.Anyways its always weird when one decides to leave something behind and move on.So are we still friends now..may be ..but i wont call her in the middle of the night if i need help.ya she is always welcome.
