A Place of delicacies….A place of joyful people….
A place so moving….
A place where you’ll never feel you are new to it….
A place giving feel of old Delhi…
A place of Golden Temple….
A place known as ‘Amritsar’
…But before i start with Amritsar I really wanna say…. Every place is beautiful in its own sense but Nothing’s like ‘My Delhi’….!!!
More I go away from it more I fall in love with it… And I realize this is the place where I wanna spend my life… Of course I love to travel and I wanna see the world but i wanna live here…….. :D
Before starting with my journey I would like to describe Amritsar….. Its green, cooler than Delhi, crowded, people are helpful and friendly and I got few friends too :), you’ll find 'kulcha' and 'lassi' everywhere it’s their staple food, you’ll find more 'beer and wine shops' than other kinda shops… in every market there were at least 3-4 wine shops, their local transport is shared autos and cycle rikshaws, it’s very hard to find ice cream there :(… I had to try hard for that…, it gives feel of old Delhi…., the best part of the place is Golden Temple… which crowded even at 10 in the night….. Now starting with my journey….
I reached Amritsar on April 22, 2009 around 2.00 PM rushed to my guest house…. and my first meeting was at 3.00 PM since then my work started…. Got free around 9.30 PM had food at their famous Dhaba which was 90years old place…. I rushed back to my guest house and slept…. Got no time for photography on day 1…. :(
Day 2 i.e., April 23, 2009 started at 5AM…. Quickly got ready and left at 6.30AM…. After a hectic day full of work….. I got free at 9PM since my next day was the last day and it was already fixed with presentations and meetings and very tight schedule…. I thought of visiting Golden temple…. I went there at 9PM… it was looking beautiful in the dark… I was stunned…. Speechless….. Then I slowly murmured WAAOW!! I Went inside…. after coming out I sat there for an hour and was looking at the fishes in the water…. It was the best part of the day and was a stress buster for me… I suddenly realized I have meetings tomorrow first one starting at 7 AM so I rushed back and slept…. Yes, I got chance of clicking few pictures… :D
Day 3 i.e., April 24, 2009…. It was hectic…. Hectic like anything….. I got free at 4PM and my train was at 5PM….. I got ready and left at 4.30PM for station…. And was in Delhi at 12.00 midnight…. And guess what I had office in the morning…. Well…. After working on Saturday I got Sunday finally off…. Though my boss told to come on Sunday too :((…. But I badly needed off….
In three days in Amritsar or say 2 complete days I had 5 presentations and 4 meetings…. It was a hectic week… but overall I really enjoyed it…. :)) it was a nice experience…..
Though I didn't got chance of clicking many pictures…. I am sharing the ones I clicked….
