Traveling is good
गुरुद्वारे के सामने की सड़क तो उतनी ही संकरी है पर राहत की बात ये हे कि गुरुद्वारे के प्रांगण में गाड़ी रखने की विशाल जगह है। गुरुद्वारे के ठीक सामने रुमालों की दुकान है इसलिए अगर सर पर साफा बाँधने के लिए गर कोई कपड़ा ना भी लाएँ हों तो कोई बात नहीं।

इन दो धोकेबाजो का नाम गौरव और हुज़ेफा है। ये दोनों हमारी कंपनी की इंदौर वाली शाखा मे काम करते थे। बाकि के दो लोग मैं और राहुल नॉएडा वाली शाखा मे थे। प्लान के मुताबिक इंदौर निवासियों को 19-नवम्बर-2010 को नॉएडा पहुँचना था। हमारी शिफ्ट शाम के 05:30 बजे से सुबह के 02:30 बजे खत्म होती थी। ये दोनों 18 तारीख गुरुवार की रात की ट्रेन पकड़ कर 19 तारीख शुक्रवार सुबह दिल्ली पहुँच चुके थे। जैसी की मैंने बताया था की कंपनी मे “वर्क फ्रॉम होम” की सुविधा थी तो इन लोगों ने एक भी छुट्टी नहीं ली थी। ट्रेन से ही datacard के माध्यम से ऑफिस का काम भी कर डाला और सकुशल दिल्ली भी पहुँच गए।

The top of the mountain was a visual treat to the beauty-starved eyes. Rather plain compared to the slope that we came up, it was covered with neatly trimmed tea and coffee plantation for miles.

किले के उत्तरी द्वार पर किले का मुख्य दरवाज़ा जो, समुद्र की तरफ़ खुलता था. किसी जमाने में उस समुद्री तट पर पुर्तगाली और ब्रिटिश नौसेना तैनात रही होगी. उस दिशा में समुद्र दूर-दूर तक फैला दिखाई देता था और यह साफ़ दिख रहा था कि सामरिक दृष्टि से अर्नाले के किले का महत्त्व कितना था. इसी दरवाज़े के ऊपर मराठों की पुर्तगालियों पर विजय के बारे में एक शिलालेख भी अंकित था. साथ ही किले की दीवारों पर शेर और हाथी जैसे प्रतीक चिन्ह भी उकृत थे.

There were some water sports facilities like scooter which I tried. There is a small rocky island a little inside the water which our driver told is frequented by sea snakes so it is also called as Snake island. From there we went to most prominent attraction of the island which is Cellular jail. The road from Corbyn’s to Cellular jail hugs the coast and gives magnificent views of the sea.

Himachal is an interesting place. Isn’t it? I would like to post my writings on unexplored Himachal to give a off the road view and a different Himachal to let you all see. Shrikhand Mahadev is one such place. Its hidden. Its unexplored. Not many people know it or visit here. Its purely natural. No hick ups. Best place for people who enjoy trekking. Actually i love to go to such places.

robably, resort people could identify our intentions of sitting there. They managed to arrange some comfortable chairs for us & also offered Hukka. Some of us enjoyed Hukka, sitting below the crystal clear sky with lot of stars visible. It is not possible for we Delhites to witness such a beauty of stars now in our city, as Delhi atmosphere is too polluted.

एक-दूसरे पर जल के छीटें फेंकना, हंसी-मज़ाक करना, पानी के बीच अपनी फोटो खिंचवाना इत्यादि जल-क्रियाओं से लोग खुशियाँ मना रहे थे. तैरना जानने वाले लोग तो उस नदी के बीचो-बीच तैर रहे थे. कुछ स्त्रीयां नदी के तट पर बैठ कर अपनी-अपनी अंजुलियों में किनारे पर आई हुईं छोटी-छोटी मछलियों को पकड़ने की चेष्टा कर रहीं थीं.

It was 10:00am and our first Jeep Safari was about to end. From 06:00 am till now, we had seen a variety of birds (Night Jar, Serpent eagle, dancing peacocks, Eurasian Thicknee, Jungle Fowl, common Kingfisher, and Indian Roller) and spotted dear, jungle cat and wild boar. The forest blossomed with ever green Sal Trees and echoed with sounds of birds, animals and crushing dry leaves. Its vast meadows produced brilliant sight of Cheetals around a lake with the Bandhavgarh hills at the backdrop.
The best thing about a jungle Safari is that you never know when a tiger could cross your path, and this hope keeps you excited and energetic. But our vigilance hadn’t paid so far.

Jaipur is renowned for its colorful markets, gorgeous handlooms and wonderfully laid out gardens. The people are very cheerful and friendly. Don’t forget to try the famous Rajasthan delicacies including the thali. Rajasthani arts and handicrafts are things that you can’t afford to miss.
You are really spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants in Goa. Besides the beach shacks, where you can sit on the sands and gaze out at the sea, sipping on a drink, while waiting an hour or two for your meal to arrive, there are many restaurants inland which also serve excellent food at very reasonable rates. There is a fusion of East and West, Portugese and Indian, meat and vegetables, which makes Goan cuisine unique. Coconut is used liberally, along with other Indian spices in the cooking. ‘Fish curry rice’ is the most common food and available virtually in every restaurant. The different types of seafood on offer in Goa includes pomfret, kingfish, ladyfish, mackerel, tuna, shark, crab, prawn, lobster, squid and mussels. Chicken, pork, mutton and beef dishes are also on offer at all the restaurants, cooked in the popular Goan flavours such as vindaloo, balchao, recheado, xhacuti and caldin.
We had already planned that we would include at least one meal out at a shack or restaurant in our daily sight-seeing itinerary. One precaution we always took was to carry our own drinking water if we did not want to order a drink, or pay for a bottle of branded mineral water.
