Punjab Di Shaadi

Before i go in for the next tag,would want to write about my recent trip to chandigarh for a RK's wedding with KJ,MV and VD. This trip was so rejuvenating and fun filled that i found an old me meeting this new me.

We did our bookings in a v economical way coz this was a personal expense and had to be a low budget trip. We booked ourselves on Rajdhani express. Rajdhani is an express train in literal sense as well,coz it starts at mumbai central and takes its first stop at Surat!phew! We reached on-time.Ashu came to hand-over my baggage to the station.The very thought that i would be leaving Ashu and advika for good 6 days was frightening and i really didnt want to go.But i had to stick to it coz to attend RK's shaadi was team decision and had to be adhered too.I almost cried while saying bye to ashu and i knew he would be missing me lot over the weekend.As i joined the gang in our coach,these guys had already settled and had kept a place for me.KJ had got cards and insisted on playing. So we started with rhyme but VD was embarassing with the game! he actually had to take neighbours advice on it! so we decided to get to next game,the big fool game! This card game stuck with us all through our 6 day trip.It became d highlight.

After reaching delhi,we had some 5 hrs in between getting onto the chandigarh shatabdi express.We thought of utilisiing the time shopping at janpath!so we went to shove the luggage at the cloak room,which was infested with huge adamant rats.But we didn't have any options.We had RK's goofy phone with us,which the cloak room officals refused to keep!huh! now what...we had to carry it.Delhi was some 18 odd degree then,hardly any cold by Delhi standards! we were stranded at new delhi station with our laptops and goofy phone! We thought of going for a movie but were not allowed with a goofy phone.So VD had an Big dea of going to Jantar Mantar and spending time there! It was maddening,in my 3 yrs at Delhi i had never bothered to go to this place and now we were sitting in Jantar Mantar and spending leisure time.Just couldn't believe it. I shopped at "W" to get the bag to carry the goofy phone and VD's fren charan came over to make us eat good khana at a dhaba.It was entertaining.



We finally boarded the train to chandigarh at 4.30! KJ wanted to see DDLJ's sarso ke khet so she was sitting all alone near the window and VD was tired and was snoring.. we shot VD snoring!LOL!


We reached chandigarh at 8.30 and as soon as we were out it was spine chilling! We reached RK's place and started dancing along with his relatives and VD started boozing.Poor guy didn't know what was instored for him!RK's college frens literally made him drink neat and that too half bottle of smrin off!oops he was difficult after that!


Next day morning,we decided to shop and had to reach RK's place for breakfast.VD had to have 6 parathas for breakfast!we had to skip lunch after the breakfast.We decided to go to sector -17 and we shopped for good 6 hours at leisure.The rickshaw ride to sector -17 was chilly!but we did enjoy it a lot.



That evening was shaadi,so we went back got dressed and went to the shaadi.It was freezing and shaadi was on the farm house!!!!We danced with the barat and started eating...the end was not to come soon.We had pani puri,kababs,drinks and almost everything one could have thought on the planet to eat.

Next day was planned at Kasauli! Nature brings you so near to GOD! We played antakshari all our way and back...it was kiddish but will never forget the nimbooda song :)! We climbed to monkey point 500m and view from monkey point makes you just forget almost everything on the earth! Peace,tranquality and clamness.It was a blessing to be at that place.On our way back we had food at Gyani Da Dhaba- Amazing saag and makai roti *punjab is all about food,fun and dance*


Reception in the evening was again all about dance,food and fun.Next day we had a train back to delhi.Caught sleeping were KJ and MV this time.



It was shopping time in delhi- dilli haat,SN! We shopped till drop dead!Back to mumbai and to ashu and advika!But this trip will be missed always!
