Trip to Madhya Pradesh

 It was 6 a.m in the morning I had to get up or it would be late for the plane. I quickly got ready to leave. I  boarded my IndiGo plane at 12 pm.

We reached Abhilya Bhai Holkar international airport at around 2 pm. From there we went to a huge Ganesha temple. Then we checked in to our hotel. Then had lunch there. We even went for a walk. Then that night we had gone to eat. But we only ate Pav Bhaji😂(Though there were many options.).

The following night we left for Gwalior in an overnight train journey. It was 5℃. When we were talking it looked as if we were smoking. It was so cold. Then we rushed to our hotel which had a heater. Though it was a bit cold in the room. Then that afternoon we went to the huge Gwalior fort. We even saw the light show there. 

The next day we left for Bhopal in a Shatabdi. We even saw Jyothiradithya Schindhia in Gwalior. He is now the aviation minister. In Bhopal, we went to Van Vihar. It is a zoo in a park. It has leopards, Cheetahs, Lions, Tigers, and many more. Animals like deer are left free. We even went for a walk in the huge lake. It even had a  bridge. The next day we went to Sanchi and saw the Sanchi Stupa. We came back to get a train to Ujjain. We were late for it. Saw we went on a local train. The journey was fun. 

We went to Vikramadithya's throne in Ujjain. We even went to Mahakaleshwar Jyothirlinga in Ujjain. We even went to Omkareshwar Jyothirlinga. It is an island in the shape of Om🕉️. We then left for Indore. 

In Indore we went to Ahilya Bhai Holkar's palace. Then we left to the airport and came back to Banglore at 11pm.

Short trip to Utkal

 During the early hours of Thursday the 26th of March right after my exams I left of to the Kempegowda International airport in the BluSmart taxi that was waiting for us. Then after all the security procedures we boarded the IndiGo flight right to Bhubneshwar. After all the onboard entertainment thanks to my phone and Amazon music we landed in the Biju Patnaik airport in Bhubneshwar.  A driver was waiting for us. With a flower bouquet. We had actually booked a sedan but he had arrived with a bigger car...A Toyota Chrysta. Then we directly left to Konark. Konark is a heritage site noted even by Unesco. It is a shrine dedicated to the sun god and the deity used to be flowing in the air due to 2 magnets. It has been closed for 120 years. As per many sources it's been closed to prevent the temple from falling and internally restoration projects are in place. But only the Archaeological Survey Of India knows the reason. This temple is more than 800 years old. It was built during th...

Trip To God's Own Country

On the night of December 25th, I embarked on my journey to Thrissur in an Ambari Utsav bus. By the next day, around 8 AM, I reached Thrissur. From there, the event organizers had arranged for a bus to take us from the bus stop to Guruvayur. It was a one-hour ride through streets lined with magnificent houses, each showcasing unique architectural styles. Our destination, Guruvayur, marked the beginning of our yatra. I stayed near the ISKCON temple in Guruvayur. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, I visited the Kesavan Samadhi. The burial place, of a remarkable elephant. This was no ordinary elephant but a devotee of Lord Guruvayoorappan (Lord Krishna) named Kesavan. Kesavan was so devoted that he underwent initiation ceremonies just like human devotees do in various temples. The Samadhi was a short walk from the hotel. After paying our respects, we returned to the hotel for lunch.  For lunch, I ate the special delicacy of Kerala coin paratha skipping the day's Prasad at the ISKCON Gu...

Chronicles of Kerala

After weeks of discussions, Sukhi akka, Suthra akka, Daivik, and I, guided by our elders, finally settled on Varkala for our getaway.   With barely any sleep, we managed to wake up early, catch the 6 AM flight to Trivandrum, and officially kick-start the adventure. First task upon landing? Changing into a lungi right at the airport so we wouldn’t waste time doing it near the temple.   Breakfast at Aryas Grand was solid, setting us up for the temple visit. The darshan was smooth, giving us just enough time to soak in the serene atmosphere before moving on.   Before leaving Trivandrum, we made another stop at the Padmanabhaswamy Temple—not for another darshan, but to admire its grand entrance. This temple, one of the richest in the world, is famous for its mysterious, treasure-filled vaults.   The ride to Varkala led us to our Airbnb—a compact yet cozy space tucked into narrow lanes. A quick refresh, then off to InDa Café for lunch.   Then...
