Trip To M.P.

Although it has been some time to this trip, but I always wanted to
write about it. It was almost 5Yrs.(5 Yrs-5Mnths-26Days to précised)
that I was not have been to my native place i.e. M.P. So, we(me and my
family) planned for this trip. And as we were gng out together after a
long time, thus we wanted to cover maximum places where our relatives
lived. So we planed our journey like this:

Pune -> Mumbai -> Indore -> Jabalpur -> Pune.

Episode 1: Pune To Bombay/Bambai OOOpss!!!Srry.....Mumbai!!!!!

Our first destination was Mumbai, you all know that there are many ways
to go to Mumbai we preferred train due to our luggage (and the comfort
of a train is something else, you all know that).So, we boarded Deccan
Queen at 4p.m. from Pune. It took exactly 4hrs. to reach Dadar. ASAW
reached Mumbai we felt that "Zara hat ke Zara bach ke ye Mumbai meri
jaa". Actually we wanted 2go2 kandivali (from Dadar Station) and we asked
for a taxi, the driver said that he will charge Rs.700/- n start gvng
some so called reasons of taxi drivers ,ki saahab bahut ghoom ke jaana
padega, ye rasta band hai, us raste par bheed hai...bla..bla..blaaaaa.But
at last we fixed the taxi at Rs.300\- and reached to my Mausi's house
at kandivali after a road journey of almost an hour. It was around
9-9:30p.m.As we were having flight at 6:00a.m. next morning(After 12
it's next day…right!!)we took the dinner ,which was really nice, and
started baat-chhet(jab aap itne dino baad milte ho to bahut kuch hota
hai baat karne ke liye).Time kaise paas ho gaya pata hi nahi chala and
it was 12o'clk.Atlast we went to bed,aur need ka intzaar karne ke
baavjood need aakhaon se gaayab thi,par raat 1 baje tak need ne mujhe
apne aaghosh me le hi liya(Sounds interesting, hindi mein likhe ka maza
hi alag hai...)and I woke up with an irritating alarm tone of my mobile
at 3:15 or3:30am.Till 4 we were ready to leave. Although it was very
short stay at Mumbai, I enjoyed it. Arnd. 4:30 we were at
airport, covering a distance of 10Km. in 30mins that too in Mumbai was
gud. After all the formalities(jisme meri do paani ki bootles bhi bahar
nikalvali gayi)we were inside the plane at 6:05am.I forget to tell u
that was month of "December"(Thandi ka mausam).

Watching sunrise from a height of 9000mts. was a unforgettable experience and I was so much lost in that, that I even forgot to capture that moment with the camera. And Suddenly there was announcement .... ..... "Soon we will be landing on the Devi Ahilyabai Holkar (Indore) airport please fasten your seat belts" and we reached Indore at 7:45am.

Episode 2: Indore To Jabalpur.....

We reached home at 8:30am got fresh, till now, breakfast was ready. Kya baat hai Samosa,kachuri,Jalebi,Dhokla....(Likthe-2 hi mumh me paani aa gaya).After this mouth-watering breakfast, I went to bed to take a nap but took a sound sleep and was lying on bed like a log of wood. It was a normal day. In the evening we went to some temples. The atmosphere there was peaceful, it was soothing experience.



Next day I met some more relatives n then visited some places nearby. We went to 56 Dukaan an area famous for its food items and believe me I ate like anything (Starting with Garaadu to Chaat,Patis(it's different),Sweet corn,Kulfi etc. etc. but Hasil-e-mahfil was Shikan-ji shaayad iseeliye uske aage 'ji' laga hai, it was just awesome).After these savory dishes I can say that today "My eyes were bigger than my stomach".

Next morning we did some shopping and were ready to leave. It was fun filled two days at Indore and today is 31/Dec./2009.This means I will be celebrating "New Year 2010" in the train(Narmada Express).And u can understand how it will be celebrating new year in an express.

Episode 3: Jabalpur To Pune.....

New Morning!!!New Day!!!New Year!!!It was 6:10am (1st/Jan/2010), and we were at the Jabalpur station. It was a cold morning, temperature was
around 11-12oC.My eyes were looking for Mamaji, aur kehtehai na "Ki
dhoodne se to bhagwan mil jaate hai", and I was only looking for Mamaji
to vo mil hi gaye and in no time we were at home. Then we all took
nice hot cup of tea and got fresh. As our stay at Jabalpur was only for
2 days i was in a mood for some outing and we decided tgt "Bhedaghat".

It was not far away from home and we reached their in arnd. 35-40 min.
It was 3:00 in the afternoon. There are 2 ways to reach there and we
preferred the rope-way as the other one(by road) was very crowded and
time-consuming. The view from the top was incredible but little eerie
also, it offered a fabulous panoramic view of river Narmada. It took
3-4mins. To reach at the other end. We got down there and moved towards Dhuadhar, and I was astound on observing the beauty of nature. Although it was a small I will remember it for whole of my life. It was an unforgettable experience.

We came back at 6:00 in the evng. After that it was just some tp(time-pass) activities and after taking the dinner we went to bad wishing good-night to everyone. Next morning was quite dull, may be I was bit tired after those hectic 6-7 days. So, after taking lunch I took a nap. In the evening we went for shopping, but as I don't get bask in trying out shirts and trousers it was just a tp for me. But my sis. really enjoyed the shopping. The best part of that night was the dinner it was just delicious(Butter Chicken and sweet was superb)!!!!!!And that day again "My eyes were bigger than my stomach".......Next day we were having our train early in the mrng. so we went to bed.

Next day we boarded the train and started our journey to pune. We reached Pune at 4am(next day) and I got the feeling of "Back to Home" and once again it was proved that Pune is the city with best climate in India. The cold breeze was refreshing and it took away all my tiredness.
And this is how the 7 day joyful and entertaining trip ended.
