TRAVELOGUE

Udaipur: Venice of The East

We started our trip from New Delhi to Udaipur through train at 7 p.m. and reached by 6:30 in the 
morning. Hotel arrangements were already made and we checked-in in Moti Mahal Hotel. The first 
place we visited was Neemach Mata Temple which is located near Fateh Sagar. It is also known as 
Vaishno Devi of Udaipur. It is believed to be built in 17th century. It has a walking distance of around 1 Km through stairs but this was nothing in front of our enthusiasm.
Next, we went to Ambrai Ghat which is located on the bank of Pichola Lake. It is directly opposite to City Palace which is one of the largest palace in Udaipur. A simple conclusion one can make from 

Ambrai Ghat is that it is an absolute delight for photographers. It gives a magnificent view at sunset.




Pichola Lake was next on our list. Pichola Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes of Rajasthan. The 
beauty of Lake Pichola attracts people from all over the world. One can undeniably say for Pichola 
that once, if you see this lake, you would definitely fall in love with it. One interesting thing about 
Lake Pichola is that it was mentioned by Rudyard Kipling in his Letters of Marque (1899) as told by 
the tour guide. Overall, trip to Pichola Lake is incomplete without a boat ride. Sunset view of the lake completely justifies Udaipur as Venice of the East.

Doodh Talai is another tourist attraction of City Udaipur. Doodh Talai is a small lake that adores the 
south-east direction of Pichola Lake. There is also a beautiful garden near Doodh Talai. Musical 
fountain shows have also made this sunset point popular. After daylong sight-seeing on Pichola Lake, we concluded with a sunset view from Doodh Talai.

How can one visit such a beautiful city and not eat? One very best place to get street food is long 
lanes of food stalls on Sukhadia Circle. Natraj Dining Hall also provides a taste of ‘Ghar Ka Khana’. 
Daal Bati and Poha are like national breakfasts of the city.

Why Mera College is Mahaan?

Yesterday, I got to visit another college (thanks to a friend) which was more a typical kind of college. But getting an entry was not the easy part. We assembled at the back door like a Counter Strike team waiting for Sergeant's order "All Clear, Let's Go Boys". After a few minutes of hiding and peeping, guards went for Guthka and Bidi and the way was clear. Upon entering, fierce arrows was what took our attention, Woah!! This college has archery. The sport about which I had only read in my General Knowledge Book or seen on Doordarshan while changing the channel. But still, this college had to do a lot to impress. We then headed straight to the Canteen which was equivalent to the size of our 2 classrooms. No matter how bad your day was or you got a proposal, food is like that darling who's always there for you like Severus Snape. If the canteen was this large, the prices had to be too high. But opposite to our surprise, the costliest item on the menu was Shahi P...

Few Lessons I learnt from College

Image
Title of this post makes it way more obvious than Why Katappa Killed Bahubali that what's it about. This journey from 03rd August, 2015 to 28th May, 2018 was no less than a typical Bollywood Masala. From conflicts, controversies to college-shaming and loads of laughter, this voyage had it all. Without taking much of your time, I'll interrupt my sob story and continue with the theme of this blog. So, here are the following things I learned in college (start of a 14 marks answer): 1. Time is the biggest teacher. Either you learn to flow with it, or stand still to see the world change its shape. It has the power to turn strangers into friends and vice versa. Time will show who's worth it and who/what is not. In the end, you'll regret wasting it on things that never deserved it. 2. F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Don't make the mistake of watching 'Dil Chahta Hai' in first year of your college, save it for the last (and yes, that goa trip isn't going to happen)....

A Not-So-Normal Day

Image
This is something that happened last week during my midterm exams. I was waiting at the bus stop to get to the college. The many-fold increase in my finger tapping speed was cueing that I had already gotten late. Finally, I saw two large beams coming my way bearing the number 623. This bus was supposed to be a bit crowded but to my surprise, on that particular day, it wasn't. I hopped in and got in line to get the ticket. All of a sudden, I felt a little jerk from behind and within a blink of the moment, I was made like a football passing through a bunch of Barcelona midfielders. One of the midfielder with the tormenting breath was just up to my face and I can assure you, my nostrils have never gone through anything worst. And then the inevitable happened, a hand slipped into my front jeans pocket and my phone went phew!! Without giving any second thought to anything, I reached out and grabbed the hand of the person standing next to me. I asked him for my phone and he did...
