My Trip to agra...

It was 25th june and my main exams were to begin from 27th. So i was all determined, cleaned my messy table and sat down for studies very seriously. I was a little heavyhearted as my mother had informed me the same morning that my maternal relatives were coming for their vacations to jhansi (my hometown). Now here, it is important to inform that I have many cousins (approx 6), all nearly of the same age and so there is a lot of attachment amongst us. AND all of them were coming for VACATIONS and I was supposed to be here, at bhopal, burning the midnight oil. But still, I like a sincere girl was studying earnestly.



1:15pm and it was lunch time. I went to the mess only to find everyone talking about the postponement of the exams. Again there's one more thing to add here. Two of my friends had planned to go for holidays to north India after our exams and had booked our tickets for the date on which our exams were supposed to be getting over. I was a little abashed whether to be happy or sad. So our exams were actually postponed and were scheduled to begin on 6th july. The moment I came to know this, I seriously felt elated as I had a chance to go to jhansi and meet all my sweet cousins after a long span of time. Quickly I called my mumma and informed her about this state of affairs and she was at that moment, perhaps, one of the happiest human beings on planet earth.

The next day I left for jhansi and was welcomed there by a throng. We went to a park and then ate dinner outside in a nice little restaurant. The same night I was online, busy in a live webcam chat with my roomies, Jaya and Megha, when suddenly Jaya started missing me and said that she wants to come to jhansi. In just half an hour we decided that she will be coming the next day.

Now jhansi is in UP and there is electricity crisis. So I like a honest girl called Jaya up at morning 6:00am and informed her about this huge problem but then she was sooooo determined to come that she actually came all the way from bhopal to jhansi just because she missed me a lot in one single day. I and my brothers went to receive her at the railway station and she hugged me soooo tightly that I felt we have met after ages.

This is our pic outside jhansi railway station :P
Isn't she a sweetheart???


Not only her behaviour till now and her pic makes her a sweetheart but also the way in which she mingled with my family and became one of us very very very quickly.
Now began a very short yet a beautiful vacation. We were so many in number that our house resembled the one of marriage.

We went to the fort of Rani Laxmi Bai ("khoob ladi mardani wo to jhansi wali rani thi"),we went shopping, I took them to my school (the school which made Pankhuri Shrivastava)and trust me it was a jubilant atmosphere everywhere.



Then we went to agra...We were 12 people and we went in a tata safari...this in itself was audacious as we were sooooooo many...he he bt all good.
We went to datia, a temple visit in the morning itself (we saw the shringar of deviji)...and then finally TAJ MAHAL.

It was hot but we couldn't help admiring the beauty of the monument.The postcard picture of Taj Mahal does not adequately convey the legend, the poetry and the romance that shroud what Rabindranath Tagore calls "a teardrop on the cheek of time". The Taj certainly has a chaste poise and spiritual hauteur that makes it seem not completely of this world. Different people have different views of the Taj but it would be enough to say that the Taj has a life of its own that leaps out of marble, provided you understand that it is a monument of love. As an architectural masterpiece, nothing could be added or subtracted from it.

Captivated by the beauty and chastity of the Taj we left for jhansi and played a terrific game of rapid fire on our way back which became so pugnacious that we were forced to end it by the elders with us.

Enervated, we reached late at night and all went off to sleep. Next day we were to leave so all were a little gloomy but then we two had exams to look forward to so it was all "jao khelo" (Jaya's patent dialogue) type for us. So we came back very happy only to realize that I left my new sandals and a book in the train which made me sad (i m still feeling sad thinking about it) but then when you have Jaya to say "ohhh baby" and "jao khelo" things do not seem that bad. Thanks jaya for being there always and being so lovable and loving toooo.

Love you sweetheart...will always remember the way you came running after me because you missed me (like a boy madly in love) LOL...


PANKHURI :)
