Again a mini travelogue.


An old man alone in the banks of ganges...What did he gain what did he lose.Leave all those crappy talks.. isnt he photogenic... ?? isnt he cute..

In two days an Indica car along with her driver,neermathalam,his parents and house owner 'Maaji' went to Haridwar->Rishikesh->Haridwar->Dehradun->Mussorie then they returned back to new delhi and started coping up with gruesome power cuts of the capital city.
You would have seen all these following landscapes through a better photographers lens.Dont you people watch Travel and lifestyle channel.Still as this is some rare occasion I venture out exclusively for a trip I dare posting those snaps.
I thank my employer who paid me enough salary and an intime bonus so that I could take my parents to a very memorable trip (For them).They were very happy because they washed all thier sins away.They exonerated all dead people of our family in the past seven generations to vaikunda(heaven..).cynic me...also washed all my sins away in ganga..so that i can start afresh..
But jokes apart I m really happy to make my dearest ones happy for a while.
As a traveller I also thoroughly enjoyed Mussorie.No doubt she is called queen of the hills.And Sahasradhara of Dehradun..Beautiful it can be termed as riskless Vazhachaal(very risky cascading waters uphill of Athirampally water falls of kerala..).Those cascading waters made me a child...I think I was really underestimating what money can buy.For that revelation this trip was memorable for me aslo.

Lucky you! Such a trip has always been my dream. Don't know if river ganga can afford to wash away all my sins ;) but the very sight of the sacred river would be fulfilling, i believe. Thanks for posting those photos. No wonder, it was a memorable trip for u all.

b,t,w what does a pipe engineer do? vivaramillaayma kshamikkanam tto. :)

While mathalam, washing his sins in Ganges, one poor man was mounting his sins..

ന്യൂ ഡെല്‍ഹി ഇലക്ട്രിസ്റ്റി ബോര്‍ഡിനെ അവനറിയാവുന്ന എല്ലാ തെറികളും പറഞ്ഞ്‌ പറഞ്ഞ്‌.... അവന്‍ ഒരു മുഴുപാപിയായി...
.. പിന്നെ അതു മറയ്ക്കാന്‍ സ്വയം ഒരു മിടുക്കന്‍ എന്നു നടിച്ചു ജീവിച്ചു...

....

ഗംഗയുടെ തീരങ്ങളില്‍ അലഞ്ഞ ആപരിചിതന്റെ മുഖം.. പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട മാതളം, ഈ മിടുക്കന്റെ പൊലെ തൊന്നിയൊ..?

ലൊങ്ങ്‌ ഷൊട്ടില്‍ എനിക്കുറപ്പാ... പൂര്‍വാശ്രമത്തില്‍ അയാളും ഒരു മിടുക്കന്‍ ആയിരുന്നെന്ന്...

ആത്മസ്പര്‍ശിയായ ഒരു ചിത്രം സമ്മാനിച്ചതിനു ഒരായിരം നന്ദി എന്റെ കൂട്ടുകാരാ...

Great to hear abt ur trip. Have just heard of Haridwar. Wud love to take my parents along as well. Some day maybe.. :)

Am just back from a short trip as well! :) മൂന്നാറില്‍ നീലക്കുറിഞ്ഞികള്‍ പൂത്തിരിക്കുന്നത്‌ കാണാന്‍ പോയിരുന്നു. മഴയും മഞ്ഞുമൊക്കെ നനഞ്ഞ്‌ അങ്ങനെ മൂന്ന് ദിവസങ്ങള്‍...

a trip to the Ganges can be very peacful... if you can ignore all the commercialisation of Haridwar....
