Road Trip..

It started on thursday afternoon.

Destination : Mukstar
Distance : 300kms

The drive was as it was suppose to be, Hectic. We had to take the Baddi route to avoid the heavy traffic jams in Pinjore. Going through Ludhiana , we stopped to take a snack at Haveli. And Who the hell says Indians are not modern. Imagine, the only thing available were manchurian and chinese and all continental stuff. No paranthas, no pakoras nothing..
Reached Muktsar slalomingly through all Khabe's and sajje's between farms and shortcuts. Muktsar is obv not a "must visit" place honestly. My par par dada expired last week, so I had to go without any implausible questions. He was the oldest person in the family tree in dad's side and it was really sad moment for our family. I just met him once in my life and that too was 11 yrs back.

Next Stop : Delhi
Distance : 420 kms ( Oh boy.. !! )
We left at 1500 hrs and it wasnt actually a nice road to drive on. Took us 9 whooping hrs drive(with pit stops) to reach delhi and fall on bed.

Then : Vrindavan ( Birth place of Lord Krishna )
Distance 150 kms

The road was awesome ( thank god ) and didnt take that long for us reach there
Woke up in the morning and then had to leave for Vrindavan which took us arnd 2 hrs to reach and again fall on bed. Ehh, cumon I was tired.. !!
There are around 5500 temples ( all of Lord Krishna) in that small area. The most famous is the Baanke laal bihari ka mandir. Saw Krishan ji's Birth place which was very ethnically preserved and maintained. There were no cameras allowed anywhere so, didnt click any photos there.



The next morning it was back to Delhi and had fixed up plans with friends for auto expo. "Mean Machines and Meaner Men" was the heading in the newspaper today which cudnt have been more illustrative. There were some exquisite cars but hey wait a minute, but actually there was something else which was catching eye even more than the nano. These were the models standing right next to the cars. I agree some of the females were really very beautiful, but I keep it till here only. Most of the people were lining up huddling to get a glimpse of the female models displaying the cars. I bet most of them didnt even had interest in the cars. I read in the news paper that some people actually went and asked their phone no.s which I feel is way too cheap.

It was nice trip over all with half of the time I spent driving missing the whole premiership weekend. Things not looking good for Liverpool right now with 4 draws in a row in EPL. They are definitely out of the horse race but they still not doing any good to stand up and be counted as a threat. I really dont want to envision what will happen against Inter Milan in champions League.
