Fantabulous Trip To Delhi

It was a fantabulous trip with lot of adventure, excitement and in the end extreme pleasure. I and my friend Ashutosh started our tip on 26th Nov’10; we both were excited as we had planned things well in advance to avoid any worries within our trip. It was a 10 day long trip with more than 4 destinations to visit. We had all our reservations in place, we knew where we will be staying and what all places we have to visit.



On 26th Nov’10 at 11:10Am we started our journey towards Delhi, we had our reservation in Duronto express, it was a 20 hour long journey from Pune to Delhi. Duronto is a very good train with all hygienic facilities; it has all the facilities of Rajdhani express. It is a non-stop train except few stops for servicing purpose. It was a pleasant journey with lot of fun.On 27th Nov’10 around 07:15Am we reached Delhi (Hizbul nizamuddin) Railway station.

We hired an auto rickshaw and moved towards our friend’s room, he works in Delhi and stays near Kutubminar Area. I had my Digi camera with me and I started taking pictures of this beautiful journey, because of Common wealth Games there are lot of improvements one can notice in Delhi, especially the roads are wide and clean. It was morning time and at around 8:20Am we reached to our friends place. Our friend’s room is very near to Kutubminar and from his balcony we can easily view this historical monument, he stays here from last 3years but never got a chance to visit this beautiful monument. But we don’t want to miss this opportunity and with an hour’s time we both got fresh and decided to visit all important places in Delhi.



We started our journey from Kutubminar, it’s a must see historical monument of India, it’s a huge and startling monument. It is the world's tallest brick minaret with a diameter of 14.32m at the base and about 2.75m on the top with a height of 72.5m constructed by Qutubuddin Aibak. Qutub-Minar is in red and buff sandstone is the highest tower in India. we both enjoyed that place and clicked many photographs.

Me and Ashutosh are very good friends and we both belongs to same na tive place in UP. We are friends from last 10years and even our families know each other very well. We both have same area of interest and that’s why we both enjoy each other’s company.



We stayed there for an hour’s time and then we decided to visit India Gate, Delhi have improved a-lot in their transport facilities, within few minutes we got Bus for India Gate, let me tell you I have never seen such bus services in Pune, the bus was full air-conditioned with digital display.

It took around 45mins to reach India Gate. It is truly deserves to be called as national monument of India, Its a huge 42m high stone arch of victory, stands at the eastern end of Rajpath. More than 90,000 Indian Army soldiers who died in the First World War are inscribed on the walls of this grand structure.



Amar Jawan Jyoti, was lit under the arch of the India Gate to honor the brave unknown soldiers. The flame is flanked by uniformed soldiers, who stand guard over the flame. Near the flame, a shining rifle with a helmet on it, is placed on a high pedestal, as a tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in battle.





It was an incredible experience; lot of people from different part of India and out sited India came to see this huge structure. Delhi climate was very pleasant and we sat near India Gate for a while and had snacks. We clicked many photographs and finally we decided to move to our next destination. On the western site we can easily see the Rashtripati bhavan along with North and South Blocks. We decide to walk from India Gate to Rashtripati Bhavan.

North Block and the South Block are also known as Secretariat Building. The South Block houses have Prime Minister Office, Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of External Affairs.



The North Block primarily houses have Ministry of Finance and the Home Ministry.

The terms 'North Block' and 'South Block' are often used to refer to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of External Affairs respectively.

We clicked many photographs there, we also tried to enter Rashtripati Bhavan but it need prior permission and pass which we didn’t had, so finally we clicked few pictures from Bhavans Gate itself.



From there we moved towards Parliament house, Parliament House is a massive circular edifice 560 feet (170.69 metres) in diameter. Its circumference is one-third of a mile 536.33 metres and it covers an area of nearly six acres (24281.16 square metres). The open verandah on the first floor is fringed with a colonnade of 144 creamy sandstone columns—each 27 feet (8.23 metres) high. The building has twelve gates among which Gate No. 1 on the Sansad Marg is the main gate. It is a great piece of work.



From there we thought of visiting Lal Quila, someone told us to travel through Metro. Delhi Metro is one of the world famous mode of transport, it’s one of the reasons for tourist attraction in Delhi; we decide to experience this latest mode of transport. It was a fabulous experience, things were really organize well, and there were no sign of confusion, things were really planned and controlled well, even a person travelling for the first time in Delhi can easily locate the route and which train to catch accordingly. It was a nice experience, with in 30min we reached Lal Quila.



Lal Quila is the most famous and popular tourist destinations in Old Delhi, built by Shahjahan. The fort is also the site from which the Prime Minister of India addresses the nation on 15th August, the day India achieved independence from the British. It also happens to be the largest monument in Old Delhi. It’s a massive piece of work, I really feel proud that we have maintained these exclusive monuments and made public to experience its royalty.



It was a splendid experience for both of us; we were enjoying the beauty of Delhi. Delhi is a must see place to visit for everyone, till that time it was evening and we both were very hungry. We both sat near a chart shop and had one Tiki chart there.



From there we moved to Rohatak for one of our friend’s marriage. We both went to ISBT to catch Bus for Rohatak and fortunately with in no time we got the bus. It was a long 3 hours journey form Delhi and bus condition was also not that good. Anyhow at around 8:30pm we both reach Rohatak and attended our friend’s marriage. That was the end of our trip to Delhi, next day evening we both catch the train for Varanasi to visit our native place and to visit Varanasi world famous holy place.

Learning’s from Life On A Bike

Yesterday I got a very good lesson because of my ignorant habit, life is full of learning’s and we learn from our mistakes, every time we face any critical situations and able to tackle it, we graduate to next level, but it does not mean we must always repeat the same mistakes.

It was a very interesting experience, I just thought to share it with all you guys. It must have happened to most of us but still we never take it seriously and repeat the same mistake again and again.

Yesterday at 7:00pm I left my office and went towards parking, I started my bike and move toward my home, but with in few minutes my bike started giving jerks and stopped. It was hardly a kilometer I must have covered. I was not tensed but little surprised and started thinking about the reason for this abrupt stop.

The first thing which came to my mind is petrol, from last 3 days I am riding my bike on reserve, and yesterday morning because of laziness I didn’t stopped at Petrol pump. I opened the Petrol tank and shaken my bike twice, I was able to feel the noise of petrol. So one thing was clear that there is some petrol in my bike, but I was still confused with the reason.

I take good care of my bike, in every two months I put my bike for servicing, this is my new bike which I have purchased 2 years back. I knew nothing can go wrong so easily. I was not tensed, but bit worried because I wanted to go home early.

There was so much of traffic on the road and because of the noise I was unable to think properly. I just saw a small lane on my right side; I crossed the road and pushed my bike in to that lane. I parked my bike near a shop, there was very less noise and then I started feeling comfortable, I had one five star fruit and nut in my pocket, I removed that and started eating and thinking about the next step that I should take.

First thing which came to my mind was the nearest help which I can get, it is from my office, so I called one of my office colleague but that was just a waste of time and money, I had only 12Rs balance and I wasted my 4Rs in that call. He gave me some wearied advice which I already knew, He told me to go to some mechanic which was 1km away from that place, I already knew that and I had kept that as my last option.

I have few very good friends in my office but because of Diwali most of them have already left for their hometown. Then I called another colleague and told him about my situation, he immediately got ready for my help and with in few minutes he also reached at my place.

He looked at my bike and tried to start it but nothing was effective, at lastly we both thought to get some petrol and try once again, but we didn’t had any empty bottle. We both went to near shopkeeper and asked for empty bottle, but that guy was totally business minded and dined lastly we have to purchase one water bottle which cost me 15Rs. We drinked half bottle of water and rest all we drained on the road.

On my friends bike we went to nearest petrol pump and purchased 1lt of petrol which cost me something around 50Rs. We both came back towards my bike and started filling its petrol tank. We both were very hopeful that this time it will definitely get start. But nothing worked out, all went in to wane. My bike was still in the same condition and now I knew that I have to drag it to the mechanic. I asked my friend if he can help me in dragging through his bike, but nothing worked out we tried but it was very difficult for both of us to control our bikes, lastly I decide to drag my bike, my friend had some pending work at office so he left from there.

I started dragging my bike and thinking about the reasons, I knew I have to drag my bike to 1km, but with in few meters I started sweating. It was already 8:30pm and now I have to move fast before shops gets closed. But I was very fortunate, with in 100mts of range I saw one small shop, few people were sitting there and one person was involved in repairing an old bike, I took one long relieved breath and approached towards that shop.

I asked that guy to check my bike, after some time he told me that there is no petrol in the bike; I got surprised as I have recently put 1lt of petrol in my bike. He removed the pipe which connects the petrol tank to engine and show me that there is no petrol flowing in the pipe.

I got surprised and told him that there might be some blockage in the pipe and asked him to pass air through it, he did the same thing and with in few seconds petrol started flowing through it. He immediately connects that pipe to engine and started the bike, and my bike got started, I was so relieved and thanked him for helping me. I gave him 10Rs, and thanked him again.


My losses and learning’s from this incident.

Loss = 4Rs phone call+15Rs water bottle+10Rs to mechanic =29Rs

Learning
Never ride your bike in reserve, as soon as bike came in to reserve fill your tank again it will keep petrol floating in to the pipes.

A trip to Murud Jal Jazeera and Kihim Beach

It was an amazing trip to Kihim beach and Murud jal jazeera. On Saturday evening 16th Oct’10, we all started our trip. It was a nice cloudy day. We all were set to enjoy this amazing trip.

We started at around 05:30 pm; we had booked an Innova for six people. We purchased few wafers, cold drinks and brown bottles to enjoy our trip. With in 45mins we all were out of Pune limits.

We all were enjoying our drinks and had few professional discussion. At around 8:30pm we stopped near a Dhaba and had our dinner, food was nice and we all enjoyed it. After an hours time again we started our journey towards Kihim beach.

It was around 11:00pm and still we had not reached to Kihim beach, but no one was upset regarding our stay and food. We had seen much worse situations in our past trips, where we had spend whole night on the beach and got caught by few police men.

However this time we were bit lucky, at 11:30pm we reached to Kihim beach. Without any thoughts we all approached towards the beach and had a small walk, there were few cottages facing sea site, we tried there to get a room for placing our luggage, but we were not that lucky, at lastly after 30min we got a place, thanks to that shopkeeper who helped us.



After placing our luggage we all were set to enjoy the sea site, room was very near to seashore, every one started approaching toward sea with our brown bottles. We all sat near seashore and started talking about our few friends who didn’t manage to come for this trip. We were bit disappointed with the reasons given by them. But any how we deviated from that topic and suddenly two of our friends Umesh and Praveen started discussing on the mythological facts, they started debating on the existence of Rama and Mahabharata era.



This is not the first time we were listening to this discussion, after having a few drinks they usually talk on this topic, and believe me all the time it went in to a never ending topic.

As the night passes people starts falling asleep, but as I said these two guys were still debating on Mythological facts. This was a never ending debate, I had my camera with me and I was enjoying taking pictures.



Now it was morning and we all were still at seashore, I was busy in taking pictures of beautiful morning and few of our friends were sleeping and these two guys were still debating.



Kihim beach was very rocky and it was very difficult to go inside and enjoy, and the beach was not that clean. At lastly we all decided not to spend our much of time here instead we will go to some other place and we finally decide on Murud jal jazeera.

But in the mean time Praveen went inside the sea, we all were calling him but he didn’t listen to us, now we didn’t had any option other than just to wait for him. As we were sitting near seashore we all decide to play football, Ranjan had brought the ball and we all started playing, it was not that easy to play football in sand, we were finding very difficult to run in sand, finally Praveen also came out of the sea and started playing with us. We had two teams of 3 players; finally we lost with Ranjan’s team on a respective score of 5-0 haa haa LOLz.


Finally we all went towards our room and had poha and tea in our breakfast, we started taking bath and got ready for our next destination. As I said the beach was bit rocky and because of it Preaveen got few injuries and scars when he went inside the sea. However the injuries were not that severe and he managed to come out of those pains.



Finally in the afternoon we all started our journey towards Murud Jal jazeera, it was 40km away from Kihim beach, we all were tired and with in few minutes we all started sleeping in Cab.

In an hour’s time we all reached to Murud jal jazeera, it was a nice palce, a fort surrounded by sea water. We all sat on a boat and went towards this amazing fort. It was a huge fort in a 22acrs of land. We hired a Guide who helped in visiting all the important places with in the fort.



It was an amazing experience; it is really unbelievable to imagine how people in those eras would have built this kind of fort. We all stayed there for an hour’s time, then we went back towards seashore. We had clicked many pictures of that fort, it was a marvelous experience.





Again we boarded on our cab and started approaching back to Pune, but till the time we all were hungry, near Murud beach we stopped and had our Lunch. For half an hour we all enjoyed the Murud beach, the beach was very clean and it was around 05:00pm. Sun Rays were reflecting on the water of sea, it was an amazing view, I clicked one snap there.





We started our journey again, on the way we had faced heavy rain fall near lonavala but still we all were enjoying in our cab. At around 10:00pm we all reached Pune and said good bye to each other.



It was an amazing trip with lots and lots of fun and memories, thanks to all my friends who manage to spare time for this trip and make these two days memorable for lifetime.

Ayodhya verdict - Maintain Peace

Today AYODHYA VERDICT will be out, Whatever might be the verdict on this issue i think we all Indians have become matured enough to understand that our Court will give the right & fair judgment which we should accept without any hue & cry.

This is my humble request to every Indian that don’t involve in any such activity which makes our Nations glory in to drain. We must accept this verdict in a positive manner.

Peace and calm is required maintain the communal harmony in the country. As we are the people of unitedness and people who have set example of communal harmony in the past.

When there is RAM in Ramzan and ALI in Diwali, it should not matter much, whether there should be a Mosque or a Temple in Ayodhya !!! May God bless our Nation with Peace and Unity

These politicians have ruined common man's life do not give them Chance for success by creating violence in our own country

There is nothing greater than a human life, we all must follow the ideals of Ram and Allah. War & Killing leads to nothing but LOSS.

Interesting Facts about My Mustache :D

Recently I have published this picture on facebook and see the kind of comments I have received from my friends. Sites like facebook and twitter are really helpful for people who want to stay connected with their friends and family, In spite of having hectic work schedule these sites helps people to stay connected with each other and share their thoughts and views.





I would only say that these sites are great place to get relieved from your stress and relax.

Interesting Facts About Human Age

Most of the people get worried of their growing age. I have seen people hiding their age, especially women do that. But this is a serious concern for every one, a single white hair makes us panic and we start thinking about our growing age.

Death is a part of human lives, the day we are born our age countdown begins and it ends with our death.
It’s the biggest truth for every living being on earth that one day we all have to die, but most of us are not worried about death. We are more worried about the pain and unattractiveness that age brings with it.



There are many questions related to human age which are still unrevealed, like why our age is not static, if we all are made of same elements then why every one dies at a different age, and is there any way we can counter this problem.

I will be sharing my beliefs on these topics.

As we all know human body is like a machine, and every machine has its own life span, same way our body parts have a certain time span after that it can fail at any instance of time.

Most of the time genetics and luck play a huge role in how log you live. However I still believe luck has nothing to do with the limitations of human life span. We all have potential to live longer if we do the right things and follow life’s basic rules.

Research has shown that there are more chances of developing heart disease in those who don’t exercise regularly; doctors have also concluded that people in the lower 20% of fitness were three times more likely to die prematurely than the fittest group.

Healthy eating, proper sleep and regular exercise make our body live longer. In today's hectic life our body needs proper sleep, to get recharge properly to face the next morning with the same enthusiasm and energy, an eight our sleep is what our body requires. Sleeping more than eight hours may reduce your life expectancy.

According to a study by Dr David Weeks at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, a healthy sex life can look up to seven years younger than those who don't. This is because sex reduces stress, leads to greater contentment and better sleep.

Many cardiologist have suggest that begin your day with smile, a good laugh is like a mini workout - 100 to 200 laughs are equivalent to ten minutes of jogging or rowing. Research also shows that it also lowers levels of stress hormones, and heightens the activity of the body's natural defensive killer cells and antibodies.

People usually find harder to exercise regularly, but that’s the biggest key to increase you life span.



Many people prefer to go with anti ageing products and creams, I don’t know much about these products, but one thing is sure that these are just temporary way to look good; they will only affect your outer skin and body.

The best way to look young and healthy is always think positive, enjoy each and every stage of your life, and make yourself happy and energetic. One day we all have to die and we all have to face the consequences of getting old. But these are all part of life and every individual have to face this, it is always good if you take it in a positive way and enjoy the beauty of life.

Are we really independent?

Yesterday we all must have celebrated our nations 63rd Independence Day. But do you think we are really independent? Sometime I feel like, no-one really cares about our nation Independence, we all have forgotten the bravery and sacrifices of our freedom fighters.

Do you think I am wrong, if so then why there is so much of corruptions and inhumanity in the society? We do not have respect for human life. We have only respect for money and we are ready to do any dam shit thing to get this money.

Every one is corrupt, you can’t trust any one. No one really cares about Indian prestige, that’s why CWG (common wealth games) are becoming wealth game for politicians. It’s a public wealth which is being commonly looted by our nation’s politician.


We have world's richest people in our country, but still there are lacks of people living at Rs.20 per day consumption or less. Prices of daily ingredient are rising like any thing, but the incomes of middle class are still the same. We don’t have foodgrains in market but we have tonnes of foodgrains found rotten in government godowns.

So are we celebrating this milestone? Let me tell you what Indians have understood from the word independence. We have independence of taking bribe, we have freedom to break all rules, we have freedom to sell all sub standard products, we have independence of destroying public property and we have freedom of killing and looting people. For sixty hours nearly the pak. Terrorists hold the Mumbai to ransom, farmers commit suicide and extremist kill the innocents. And, those who are said to be the leaders of our country to whom we have the faith in them that they lead well our country, throw benches and chairs even chapals at one another. This is what we have achieved in last 63 years.

There is so much of corruption in India that common men are getting addicted to it. There is hardly any area left which is not being effect by corruption.


So what kind of Independence we are celebrating, I laughed yesterday when I saw public celebrating independence day, I just thought that once again in the year the time has come when calm and casual patriot sleeping in us wakes up to celebrate the day of Independence.
