Delhi






I was so excited when my father told about the Delhi trip one month before. But the excitement decreased when he said that we are going to see Agra, Jaipur and Uttar pradesh in a bus..... because i have a habit of vomiting while travelling in that rectangular box. We booked the tickets one month before. Our plan was to stay in Aluwa for one night and the next day to Delhi .We reached Aluwa on 8th night and on 9th we reached Delhi by plane. While the plane was landing I was having terrible ear pain. The time was 10.00 o'clock night so we had dinner from my father's friend's house and slept there. The next day we went to panicker's travels and in their bus we went to see Delhi.....






First we went to see Qutab minar. Even before our bus reached there I was able to see the minar from far,it was so tall and I was so excited to see that from near. But I missed the iron pillar. I really wanted to feel its coldness.Then we went to India gate, lotus temple and Birla mandir.





The next day we planned to go for shopping but my father's friend told us to go to Haridwar and Rishikesh.My mother and me exchanged our unhappy looks because it is a religious place and there is nothing to see.





Early morning we started our journey to Haridwar,it was the most horrible journey I ever had. vomiting was not the reason but our car LOGAN's engine became hot and had problem to repair.First they told that only 2hours will be needed we were so bored sitting near a dusty work shop watching a village 50 years back from the present. After4hours they told us that they cannot repair it. when they were repairing the car it just remembered mohanlal repairing the umbrella in a Malayalam film. They arranged another car for us. And titu the driver left us instead a talkative man came.




Haridwar is worth watching Tha sadu sanyasis the kavi people who even forget the word bathing and most horrible thing is the dusty path ways.We reached there by noon but we were not at all hungry may be atmosphere killed our hunger.Our driver explined about the devis and mathas in Haridwar the way of rituals and all but the real thing was that we all were not at all intrested.Leaving him near the car we left for our own expedition.It was ahilly place and we have go to the top to see the God .Many people were going with all their pooja items red towells flowers and all .The govt had arranged the trolly to go there and come back .While our fellow passengers were busy buying things for God we bought some icecreams and continued to walk actually we dont want to see any mandirs or temples but we enjoyed our udan khatola journey.








After that we went to river Ganga ther is some magic in it .may be power of river or the power of the temples or the crowd ,dont know what made the ganges so facinating .We spent our time on the bridge watching the ganges ,the queen no the king no no it is really the God.Our driver explained about every thing at that location. we reached home at night finally.dont ask about the return journey.IT is really an episod.








The next day our journey began at5 in the morning . First we reached Jaipur the city of forts and Rajas .The charismatic forts on the hill tops reminds the granduer they once possed .In the amber fort we saw the present raja .We have to see him pious gentle humble and really satisfied.there were plenty of things to see in Jaipur.spending one day in jaipur is just like licking one drop of maza drink and throwing the bottle away.




Form there we left to Agra at 3.30 in the morning (while on excursion there is no night only journey)on the way we had some forced shoping (it was the shanthigi who wants us to shop) and finally to fathepur sikri The palace of the Emperor Akbar.I have no words to explain Iam on the palace of Akbar near the Tansons faviourit garden the place were akber had descion with birbal the diwane aam divane khas Queens Haram the royal kitchen the kitchen utensils and and saw TAJ MAHAL it was a beuttiffullllllll..........place.
