Finally safe at home.....

Yup i m back from my tour.Great escape warna toh phas hi jana tha-d crowd d tourists d agent ppl d wheathr d baba ram rahim case
Chattisgarh express is super fast for name sake it stops at so many stations its a replica of GT.Anyways we reachd Amritsar got dressed n went to Golden temple.I have been thr before but its d temple n we keep our tradition.Its beautiful n magnificent.It was poornima so was littl crowded,the lake was also crowded with fishes.I had never seen a goldfish so big before actually i have seen them in aquariums only.It was hot n humid so we slept al evening until it was time to go to station.I had greatest parathas thr-tandori paratha,ohhh they were so tasty with al butter,mouth watering stuff.Then we took our midnight train to Jammu.As its only 4 hrs journey ppl travel without reservation but the strangest was dis guy,he was sitting on someone else's reserved seat not indented to move at al.He didnt move d whole journey slept thr itself n as he was drunk kashmiri d owner or d TT didnt argue wid him.We reached jammu took d bus to katra n guess wat it strtd raining hard.In tat rain findin a hotel was so difficult it took us loads to time to find a decent hotel.By decent i mean worth stayin otherwise thr were rooms stinking bad.Luckily rain stopped we al dressed up had dosas n strtd climbing for vasno devi.For my own wishes i decided to climb bare foot.Thr was security check post al way up,it is supposed to b terrorist attck zone.My parents decided to go half way on horse back n me n my bro took steps.He was fast n if i was not thr he would have finished climbing in abt 3 hrs bt i hold him back n we reached up in 5 hrs.My parents had reached littl early n my mom was al tensed as we hadnt been thr.we were on foot al way plus u cant get lost when u r two,both engineers capabl of living alone.Anyways it was time for evenin arti 6-8 pm so we hurried our durshan.Then while goin down my bro went ahead alone n i tagged along wid my parents slowly.Trust me by d end my legs were shakin very badly whatever u eat or drink nothing was giving energy plus my foot-soles were aching badly.My wish bettr comes tru coz that pain was painful.Autowalas at d bottom were such rude ppl they were nt ready to take ppl to the hotels-thr monopoly.Finally they took no less than 5 ppl with 10 per person rate for a 20 Rs ride.Plus d road was to climb up,d auto engine was nt abl to take load but they were pushing it-idiots.What could ppl do after walkin al d way up n then down abt 14*2 km you cant think of walkin more.Guess wat happened wid my bro,he fel in d path n got bruised plus wen he askd for d auto d driver said i wont take you alone n as thr was no one else he walked al d way to d hotel.Then we reached d hotel thr was no food,my father went down again to another restaurent to get dinner.Finally we al took hot
water bath applied loads of iodex n slept.
Next was Kashmir-my father went to travel agents,searched many n then decided with one who provided d van for whole trip to jammu station d driver d hotel n d houseboat.First mistake my father believed d brochures that agent showed n gave him half d sum for confirmation.We strtd around noon from katra n so we did second mistake n got al traffic in d way.You shld strt early morning for jammu srinagar highway to be jam free.Next as my fathers nature he tried to be
friendly wid driver,our third mistake so driver did as he wished to stop ne whr,eat ne whr just as he wanted we rchd srinagar n then to our hotel at 12 at night n d rooms were nighmares.My mom shouted n al bt we had no option it was late we had to crash in al day car journey n leg pain had made us very tired.The manager was like we wil get u d bst room tomm,i had no info abt u coming n al reasons.Next day we had to strt for gulmarg we couldnt be late or again wil face jam-lots of tourists.We strtd arnd 8 n were thr by 10.Al d way that driver had his face with awful expression cause we didnt do according to him.Gulmarg is a beautiful place nice scenes n wheathr.We walkd arnd for a while then took d gondola thingi its like a trolley,u have 2 choice to rch on d mountains- take horse or gondola.I prefer gondola i feel it more safe n quicker plus u need to be very good at bargain with horse walas.Thr are two points thru gondola,u get ticket frm bottom for first point n frm that first pt u get tckt for d nxt higher point, the othr point is d mountain top n al in snow.Thrs less oxygen at such high altitude n while u get tckt u need to fil a form sayin u r responsibl if something happens up thr.I wantd to go anyhow but only my mom agreed n finally wen we got in d line it was late enough thr r time limits.So frm first gondola point we took horses to d lowest snow point,it was fun horses r nt so dangerous.We enjoyed a lot in snow sledgin n playin,thr was even this fall made of meltin ice it was so cold n so pure it was fantastic.By d time we strtd gettin bac to our car it was 3 pm n cold breeze strtd.It was so cold that my teeth strtd chatterin n finally wen we rchd hotel al d exposed portion of my skin d neck d nose d cheecks became red.There was dis lady wen we al lined up in gondola she gave 20 bucks 2 d official thr to jump up to d strtin point al were like corruption!should take pic n send in ajtak n al toh her reply is 'corruption se kiska kya ghiss gaya' so do u really think corruption can really dec in India ever??
We rchd our hotel d new room is spacious bt nt wat in brochure n my parents were so impressed by d way that manager talkd tat dey let it be.Thr was lot of jam on sonmarg path cause of amarnath yatri n al security so it was canceled frm our list.Next day we enjoyed srinagar.Dal lake in shikara as even our house boat was eliminated indicatin u use lake water n so its al dirty so bttr stay in hotel n see d house boats frm outside.Anyways shikara is nice experience al ppl sellin things in shikaras,floating garden-its actually kept on place with wooden logs,we took photos in kashmiri outfits.The lake is arnd 40 cm deep n in winter season its abt 15cm ice its like ppl can walk on it.The thing u find in kashmir is thr are no beggars each n every one is sellin something n earnin i respect that.Thr r millions of std pco our sims have no network access thr
na.hahaha.Next we went to shankara charya again climbed some 300 stairs great for my leg,we saw chasme shahi-its a mughal thingi whr always pure ice cold water comes n no one knows frm whr luckily its nt studied otherwise it would have been destroyed like in Taj mahal we also saw two mughal gardens nishad n shalimar beautiful gardens very different flowers i have nt seen so colorful garden before it was awesome a photographers treat.
Next morning we had to leave for pehal gaon n stay thr for one nite.In d morning my parents askd for tea n it was nt delivered,as d geyser was nt workin we even askd for hot water but it was nt delivered but we had to leave early to avoid jam so we got ready n my father went to settle scores wid manager.He was such a bad guy he strtd arguyin n shoutin he wantd al d rest amt tat my fathr was nt ready for he was ready to give him his 3000 bucks for 3 days rent but nt al.In d end my fathr didnt give in n in a very bad mood we left srinagar.Pehal gaon d hotel was awful even awful is nt d word my classrom was bigger than that room for 4.But we had no choice we serachd for new hotel but expct one 3 star one whose rent was 3000 for a day no othr place was vacant,al filled wid amarnath yatra ppl it strts frm pehal gaon na.We had to settl thr.Thr were no fans in ne room that place is so cold n windy u need two blankets even without fan.Thr r two places to visit thr one toh chandan wadi was blocked cause that amarnath yatra strtin point other was dis beautiful gardent that was awesome,meltin ice has made dis river thr wich is definitely good for raftin bt raftin was nt on that time.We slept early that day.Finally nxt morning we left for jammu station.In d path we visited patni top thats a beautiful picnic spot.We were so eager to leave we didnt waste much time.Done wid road trip its really nauseating plus al round n round mountain roads r nt at al good.And ppl thr r so ready to fool tourists n they r so rude,it can spoil al ur vacation.We were glad we rchd station in time to get a train for jalandar,no one actually wanted to take bus journey.We reached jalandar arnd 10.30 pm n took dis beautiful hotel as we had our train nxt day.This was a three star hotel but strangely its rent was only 1300 for a day n it was so beautiful d ppl were so pleasing,finally a place were we slept icely.Next day as in news that baba ram rahim case trains were stopped,tracks blocked n al.Al day we roamed n rchd station at 5 our trn was scheduled at 6.30.Funny was the fact that this train was supposed to strt frm amritsar bt in d mornin it was stopped at jalandar only n in d evenin it was to strt frm here only lucky we.Then it was al chaos-wil it strt or wil it nt.It was standing on platform 1 since morning n no trn had left jalandar since then bt finally arnd 11 at nite d train
strtd n we relaxed nw wil rch home.Nxt day in newspaper we read that jammu srinagar route is closed cause of wheathr n also so thr were shots in pehalgaon n innocent ppl died.Lucky escape
