A mix trip

Confused ????

Lemme tell u .......It was round about 2 months since i have not went for any trip and my body was getting tired due to long working hours in office and living the fast life of national capital.....so decided to give a break to this hectic professional life......but the question was where to go ?????as i was having only 2 days (office was off on saturday).....So with some of ma office frenz i pack my bag and left for Haridwar and rishikesh........We left delhi at 1 in nite courtsey goes to our car :( but sooner or later we started our journey and me my 2nd journey with my office frenz.......The starting was all blast as we were cutting jokes and the driver was telling us kissey about his driving life.......Ek baar na sahab main wahaan gaya tha........and all that :P

But as the time pass by we started feeling bored and sleepy so decided to stop at Dhaaba and to have tea.....As the tea goes in our sleep was went far away and than starts our photo session.....me all lost in masti and fun was giving ulte seedhe poses and yuk wat the photo they were.....i litrally regret about my that activity.....than our car again started running on the bad tracks of national highway, it was really very difficult to make ourself believe that a road which is more smaller than our colony roads are actually a National highway.......and as we typicall indians are, started commenting on the government.......humare desh ki sarkar bas politics karna jaanti hai.......is desh ka kuch nahin ho sakta.......videsh me dekhon kya mast sadak hoti hain.......etc etc etc. Me was trying to be a part of there conversation because my heart was asking me ki Sumit what have you done for your country......If you have done nothing than who are you to comment on Bad Roads,Electricity problem,Poverty,Population.....actually there is a famous saying ki "Raastey me keechad pada hai to hum Local authorities ke baare me ukta seedha to bol sakte hain but hummein se koi usey saaf karney ki himmat nahin karta" it well suits to all indian citizens (including me) who comments on the bad things going around but never try to take participation in eliminating social evils.......Yehi sab sochte sochte i suddenly felt that i am lossing the fun of my trip.....So inorder to stop further conversatin going in car, i started listening songs.....and wat a gift it was for me i got some good collection of Punjabi songs in a big polybag of cassettes kept by driver in the car......

It was round about 6 am when we reached Har ki paudi in haridwar,our first stoppage...We decided to first of all have a round and than we will go for bath in ganga....But the things i saw there completely demoralised me.....The most sacred place in whole haridwar...the most visited place in India....Har ki Paudi....was completely filled of dirty water,garbage,and the water level was very low....I can see the first stage of Yamuna river in the form of river ganga....Last time when i visited haridwar i was in 9th and i was so mesmerized by the beauty of har ki paudi and the force of water but things changed very quickly but wat else can we do we have no other option left....so we found a place where water was clear and than had a dive in the most sacred river in india.....But that scene remind me a song of a hindi movie

"Ram teri ganga maili ho gayi paapiyon ke paap dhote dhote"

Then we decided to move for Mansa devi.....though there was a trolly service to go temple but we decided to walk (as there was a group of girls walking ahead :D) and after tiring 1.5 hrs and having photo session in between we reached the peak and we had puja there which make me feel that i am a part of the worlds oldest and biggest civilization on earth...A civilization in which we believe that there are 53000 gods reside in a cow....

We reached back to taxi stand at round about 11 am and than we left for mansa devi another very renowned temple situated on the other side of city.....and when we reach there (of course after having breakfast) there was a long pedesterian of 2 Kms to reach the peak where temple is situated...after a long discussion we again decided to go on foot leaving trolly aside.....and my god that decission still give a pain in leg whenever i think about that......after mandir darshan we all immediately decided to go back by trolly as none of has enough power left to go back on foot......

After making ourself comfortable in the car seats we left for rishikesh but we decided to go through the road which goes from the Rajaji National Park.....That 25 km journey was full of adventure and masti as we were cutting jokes on milan sir who was getting scared whenever our car take a steep turn in mountains.....and finally at 4 pm we reach an ashram where we slept for 3 hrs and than we left for market and as happens in small towns the market start getting closed as the clock ticks 8 pm than in return we went to triveni ghat famous as ganga meet there from 3 sides. There we had the most rezenderous moments of the trip.....we sat at the bank of river ganga and we put our legs in river water (so chillled) and had a long and intresting talks while eating groundnuts....And than at 10 pm we were in ashram as the rule was strict there and we have to in Ashram before 10......So in room after having thodi si masti we went for sleep as we have to leave for Neelkanth mahadev early in the morning......

Morning 6 oclock and rajeev throw me from my bed by saying "Good morning Sumit" with a notorious smile and then we decided to go triveni ghat for bath and when our body was in water than we thought that it was not a good decission to come so early (as the water chilled as ice)....

At 10 we left for neelkanth mahadev but for there we hired a taxi as the road was not good to tkae our car and the steep slopes and curves were the another issue.And we were accompanied by two old mans who was from haryana and at 12 we reach neelkanth mahadev where lord shiva comes at the time of Samudra Manthan. After pooja we tried to visit local villages situated just above the temple but the localites inform us that tourists are not allowed to go there..So door se dekh kar hi mann bhar liya

After reaching back to our car we decided to go back delhi and at 12 in nite i was in my flat seeing my photos in mobile...

This trip was full of all kind of tadka like masti,enjoy,pooja and also a lotsssssssss of food....

So i decided to give this trip a name as "Mix trip"
