Weekend getaway

I'm just back from a very tiring trip....although tiring yet very refreshing...i kno contradictory statements there but its quite true. Well, on one hand i had been complianing for quite some time that life is becoming so predictable- home/work n back that is all i have been doing...i want a change- Well, i got my change, we planned a quick getaway to Punjab....I went to Amritsar, the Golden Temple-seeked some divine ble-ssings, travelled to Chandigarh met a close family frnd, spend some time chatting and then retired to bed like I had never known the pleasure of sleeping :-P Next day was more travelling for us as we went to meet my college frnd in a place far away from Chandigarh, it was a pleasure seeing her after so long and not to mention her baby was very cute. After some time we had to leave to come back to Delhi as we had to go back to office.

Some observations of a new place:

AMRITSAR- God is surely happy seeing 100's n 1000's of devotees queing outside his door to bow their heads in reverence. Amritsar has other historical monuments like the Jallianwala Bagh- where the massacre happened that came as a big blow to the Sikh community. Amritsar is also famous for its cloth, I'm sure women/college going gals must have a hard time deciding what is to be worn on monday that is better than the dress worn on sunday :-) Every little bylane there had a cloth shop n women swarming like bees outside. Amritsar is also famous for Pappad's n other things to fry, u name it u got it all here.


CHANDIGARH- Its a beautiful city i must say. Well planned, traffic rule adherance and CLEAN!! Wow, it was so clean that you did not feel like littering it yourself. Each place was divided in sectors, n each sector had its unique shops/eateries n pubs. All i observed was that it was a very happening city.


My opinion about Punjab is :

You know you are in Punjab when;

The bus driver plays loud punjabi songs in the bus,
The bus driver does not care for your precious eardrums n honks away to glory,
The women are all FAT/OVERDRESSED for a road trip n obviously carry at least 2 cranky kids,
There are so many kids there....everywhere i turned i could see only kids, crying kids, giggling kids, cranky kids, bald kids and simply staring kids.
Obviously there were only turbanators out there- i mean sardar's...to be more specfic.
The language they speak is only punjabi,
Well, all of them have DESIGNER salwar kameez's to wear! Don't get me wrong not designers like J.J vallaya or sumthin....more like Raju Sardar n Montu Di Sillai...fashion sense is bright yellow,dark blue n black salwar kameezes.lol
Not to mention choclate brown lipstik smeared on the lips, with vermillion filled in the forhead like they just played holi :-P
