Winter vacation of 2017

Jan 5, 2018

I had a successful Rajasthan trip from 23rd to 29th of December. I was in the train on 21st and reached Hapur in the morning of 22nd December where Papa and brother had come to receive us and take us to Meerut home. I left for Gurgaon on 23rd morning from where me and my friends left for Rajasthan at around 10 in the morning.

We drove, crossing Jaipur and finally reached Pushkar in the evening. In the evening We searched for hotels and finally got a decent one to spend our night in.

We stayed in Pushkar that night as we were tired and decided to leave for Jaisalmer the next day.

The very next day we left for Jaisalmer and reached there in the evening. Here, we did a Jeep Safari and Camel Safari at night. We spent that night in the car itself, deciding to rent a tent in the morning. In the morning we searched for camping places and finally found out a place and rented a tent. Our car got stuck in the sand but after much effort it finally came out of it. We stayed in the tent until evening, and then went out to enjoy the cultural programs organized by the organizers of the camp. After the cultural program we returned and talked and played games, watched the movie Border before we went to sleep. 

In the morning we went to the Jaisalmer city to see the forts and the markets and spend some time in the city. 

After spending some time in the Jaisalmer city got on the road again and decided to go to Mount Abu. We drove whole day and reached Mount Abu in the night where we booked a hotel, and had maggi, tea and aloo paratha at a roadside shop. We spent our night at the hotel and then in the morning after a breakfast of maggi and tea decided to explore Mount Abu.

We spent some time exploring came back in the evening and then after sometime went to the Lake and after that had a meal of Biryani. Next day, we started our journey back to home, and stopped at Pushkar again for the night. 

Next day, we started from Pushkar back to home. At around 9 or 10 we were back in Gurgaon. I left Gurgaon the next day to come to Meerut and there was already a plan to go to Kotdwar to visit the Siddhbali temple decided. On 31st we left home at around 10 o clock for Kotdwar, reached there around the afternoon and did the darshan. We returned by the evening and it was the new years eve. I spent the first day of the year in the comfort of home and then boarded the train to Benaras on 2nd to reach in the morning of 3rd January 2018.

Delhi Trip

Well this time on 19th January I had a trip to Delhi with PK and Rahul. I really love these guys as they are the best guys in meerut(at least). Not to forget Jatin my class mate of 11th and 12th standard and my friend, me and Jatin were an inseparable entity in 11th and 12th. We went to the same tutions and many such memories. Pratyaksh Kaushik(aka pk) is the most coolest guy you can ever meet, friendship with him was a life saviour in 12th. I came to know Rahul via Pk and since then we all are together.

Well I know I drifted apart from the topic so lets get back to it. We had planned to go to Delhi last year and since then the plan was being postponed. Now this time Pk was really very serious about that. Jatin on the other hand couldn't come with us because of his cold.

Frankly speaking I rarely enjoy trips. That may be blamed to my anxiety disorder. Though I am working hard to get rid of my panic attacks and lead a normal life and being a medico I am aware the steps that has to be taken. But the thing with this trip was that it was with Pk and Rahul. We had the plan to meet Almas and Arjun who are atudying animation and Delhi. Pk and Almas were inseperable in 12th just like Jakyll and Hyde, Shaktiman and Gangadhar, Clark Kent and Superman. So many amazing memories I can recall that I may post sometime. Now Arjun and Almas means the contrast between them is just like Timon and Pumba(no offences). I love those guys. I would have been still more lonely if they wouldn't have been there in 12th.

So I was late again, because of me we started at 2 o clock. We took the favourite Modipuram to Begumpul auto and reached Begumpul and then we took an auto again to dilli adda. At the bus stand we boarded the bus to ISBT. On reaching ISBT we decided to go to CP. I mean CP is cool when you are with a bunch of guys. 3 guys won't do much so without a plan we just went to CP and roamed. Then we boarded the Metro to Sarita Vihar. On reaching Sarita Vihar we were greeted by Almas who just like an Imp(what he is!) jumped and grabbed us. Arjun Was having a fag at the coner shop. I saw him and then I shared my kreteks with him. We decided directly to go for dinner. We went to resto-shop kinda thing and had nice food.

Pk was literally at its best those times. He was making us roll out of laughter. Pk is coolest. We came back to the room. At night around 10 we decide that we have to go to GIP(Great India Palace) in noida. We all started. We took an auto to GIP. I mean they were almost 7 people in that little autorikshaw if we consider Arjun as two. Anyways we squeezed in and then reached GIP. That was a really good mall I must say. Pk had plans to go to the disc but obviously we did not had girls so that plan was canceled. We decided to watch The Green Hornet in 3D in the big cinemas. I took the ticket and we all went for the movie. 3D movie was cool but the movie alone was shit. We came out and fooled around a bit. Then at around 2:30 in the night we went to the coffee shop of GIP  and had a cup of coffee. The coffee tasted so great and then there was this chocolate pastry.

Now we decided to go back and I don't know who the hell thinks of walking from GIP to Sarita Vihar at 3 am. But we did that. We walked all the way talking about the 12th days and laughing.

On reaching they had decided to stay awake but I gave up and drifted in deep sleep.

Next day obviously we had to leave.  We came back to Kendriya Sachivalaya in metro and then to the ISBT again. On the way back me and rahul talked to each other and listened to music while Pk snored in front of us.

Well these holidays were not wasted I must say.
