Haridwar Unplanned trip



I Left home at 1:45 Mom and Dad both asked why I am going because it raining heavily. #Normal Warnings...

Then I took my bag and papa was dropped me to the station it was raining so both got wet.

Reached station #Delhi Cantt within 15 minutes Dad said happy journey and left...


I went inside it was so quiet no one in security check-in few people sleeping on the bench except them ideal and quiet. #Awesome And Adventurous must say. Then I went to the display board and saw only one train #mine will be departing from platform 2


So took the foot-over bridge and went to platform 2 where it was quieter and no one was there and it raining heavily As If god crying with me Because K ditch me and a 3 people trip become 1 and 3 days trip become 1 day 😂😂


Solo trip 😇✌️

So as I was roaming I saw some people waiting for the train it was delayed 25 minutes what a start of the trip...



 I went sat on the Bench and check the status of the train again. After a few minutes, the goods train came #petrol_tank one with a smell of petrol come from it. I thought it will pass by but it stopped on platform 2 😅😅.



I felt the train got delayed more or what. Saw the status it was 20 minutes delayed only.  So After 10 minutes there was a sound #announcement of the train arriving but they changed the platform to 3, not an issue opposite to 2 platforms were 3. #indian_railways...





After a few minutes, I could see a light coming from far... #light of hope and joy. 







I started to check my compartment as it pass by saw it and started walking towards it boarded the train and went to my seat and saw someone sleeping. 





I asked that guy if it is his seat or what He full confidence told yeah it is. But he messed with a pro 😅 #train is my second house so I asked him to show his ticket and I rechecked mine after a few minutes he left the sit 😂✌️ mission completed I boarded my seat upper berth 



And saw Charing point was working so took my charger out and kept the phone on charging 😇✌️And started watching suits and chit chat with Night shift people 😇✌️😂😂

Can't get away from work 😂😅

I join the shift chit-chat and help them with some issues. And went to my favourite spot #Door Standing there enjoying the rainfall and working simultaneously the most unique places to work from  #Work_From_Anywhere. As the shift was about to end, I reached my seat and Charged my phone. Get ready for the things going to come in the day.



Reached Haridwar at 8:27 to be precise at platform no 2. what an awesome view on the side of the mountains and the other side of the town. A cold breeze touches my face reminding me of Dharwad's early morning arrival from Bangalore...



After a few minutes of waiting and enjoying the view and weather in the middle of the foot-over bridge I ahead toward the first platform to go out.

 



As I reached out of the station I saw Shiv Ji's idol and I knew I reached Haridwar. I started walking towards Hari ki Pauri #Ganga_Ghat After walking a few meters I took a common auto Cost less #Pro_traveler Which Drop me outside the highway walkable distance of 600 meters #20Rs only for Auto... Then with the help of Google Maps, I started my journey toward the place of purity... 



Reaching the Ghats First thing I did was stand on the bridge and observe the view and how it has changed in 16 years #New Ghats and proper and safer ghats for people and one more observation even though it was raining there were a good amount of people in there. Then I called Mom to show her Ghats and then hopefull as to surprise her because a few hours back she was asking me for some advice as she did some silly mistake so she was tense about it. So just ask update on it giving Hope and Praying for less scolding from the lead. Then after that, I thought of finding a place to keep my bag but every hotel not allowed a Single person #no respect for the solo traveler. 


So I just went to the ghat. Submitted the shoe then walk towards ghat where no ritual or things going on and kept the items in the bag then slowly went inside the river. I could feel the stones at the bottom.



Slowly travelled inside the river depth increasing and could see flowers floating towards you. The fact it was sand colour water but the taste was okay. Cold I would say. 

But I enjoyed it and didn't want to leave but after a good 1 hr, I came outside changed my clothes and started my journey to visit the temple on the ghats. I could see people doing last rituals and getting their hair shaved off. from newborn babies' first hair cut to people cutting as someone died.



Giving life reality birth to death in a few inches. The happiness of the birth of someone to the sadness of death one. After that, I took my shoes and left to find a good place to have my breakfast and found a hotel saw chole bhature. Had not eaten for a long time. So enter the hotel order one plate directly and sat on a bench waiting for it to come someone ping me from my team. So gave advice but I don't know they were not able to follow it so add me to call. I sat in the call silent for a good time and in between I got my plate of chole bhature #Awesome Started having it been in the teams call people discuss things. I am giving no attention. After a few minutes, they called me out. I unmuted and told them I am outside and can't help I can only advise checking the configuration if not getting it to call someone else I am on leave...

First time Brutally answering someone or else 99% time I help. Left the call and finished my breakfast it was a good 7 out of 10 I will rate it.


Then Left for visiting Shri Mata Mansa Devi Mandir. Last time I visit I was just 7 years not much I remember. So checking on the mobile because at least I had to keep it alive till evening 70% Battery #It will survive. I just followed a group of people going there only. Walking towards the temple brings back memories of how the path is filled with shops selling from Puja items to clothes and etc. 



After a good walk of 10-15 minutes, I reached to place from the Aerial tramp you can take. I took it as I had less time and I wanted to experience it. Bought the tickets and then went inside the waiting room Mine Was 5. In the waiting, there was a small waterfall enjoyed it till my turn comes after a few minutes my turn came after a proper check they entered me after a few minutes there come to a tramp. 



They made a group of fours and Here it hurts if you are group trip become solo as they repeatedly asked how many people are in your group. Every time they used Ask this question. Answer only Sir. And in mind, one thing K you ditch me.



Then after sitting on a tramp. It took off and there come the views of life I could see the whole Gang and how the ghats look from the top what a view Out of my mind No words It was just an experience for life. The image is fixed in my mind and no camera can justify it I feel.  Within a few minutes, I reached the top, and Drop my shoe on the shoe counter. 



Enter the long queue waiting for my turn. visited the temple and took a lot of blessings and prayed for people and left for the tramp and waited for a turn to visit the view again... 




Reached Down and I exit the place and started walking toward the ghat Bought a Tea and sat near the ghat. Enjoying the view with it. Get away from boring life and depression and irritation in my mind #tired of the similar life. Had Lunch with Dal and Roti and then took a walk on the ghat Seeing poor kids. So bought some fruits and give them. I believe in donating more than giving them to the temple. So, helped people with fruits and some with buying things from them. 



I sat down near the river just wondering about life, job and leaving the stress at the ghat only... I could see people searching the river for coins see them small children doing hard work felt sad and put me in the true sense and reality of life. 



I don't know how time passed by it was near to 3'o clock I took off to see the ghat last time As I have my return train at 6. And I saw a poor kid fall down near stairs of the bridge and Was crying. So I opened my bag and give him a bag of Bingo tedhe medhe #Sponsor for the trip and Saw that I had few things to eat like apple and parle-G etc As I was coming back by Shatabdi No use to it So expect one Packet of tedhe medhe. { Shout out to sponsor} I gave everything away. Then I went to a shop and bought a bottle for Gangajal and then went to the ghat and filled it. 



Then Saw a spot to go inside the river as the level was not that high they were spots where water was not there so found a way to go there. So ran towards that place and took off my shoe and sat there putting my foot in it and enjoying the cold water on my feet when the time passed by no idea it was 5'0 clock time to leave the place I planned to go to the station by walking see the city from inside. It was approx. 3 km so had to leave by 5:30. Started from the main highway and then crossed a bridge saying bye-bye to Ganga Mata and through local markets.



Reached a near station jumping through a small fence saw a few trains stand there going Howrah, Mumbai. I went to the foot-over bridge enjoying the view of the station then went to the first platform to wait for the train in AC waiting Room as there were 15 minutes in Arrival and To charge my phone a little 30% only left. 


After a few minutes, I can see a train coming to 1 platform and It was my train #Shatabdi It come 10 minutes before. So I took my bag and As My coach was C12's Last coach So started walking towards the end of the station. I boarded the train and kept my things on my seat and come out to stand outside the train till it was time to leave at sharp 6:16 train horn and Guard showed green light and the train started moving I boarded the train.  Leaving behind City where Air has a sense of purity and taking a lot of memories. 

I came back to my sit and started watching the SUIT series. 

As It was dark and started raining So no use standing at the door. At Around 7:30 Clock train reached Sharanpur where the engine changed. So bought a tea and started watching the process and after it was done roam around the train till it was time to departure and then went sat on my seat.


 After departure in few minute Served With Dinner #Awesome food Mix Dal Panner and Paratha and Rice And ICE Cream and Curd I will rate it 9.5 out 10 As per train food 10 on 10. As I finished my dinner it was about 9:00, 


It was time I was waiting as the train was about to reach Meerut City where Prachi was born. The city with a lot of good and bad memories. I went to the door the see the city See the Army Area bring back memories and flashbacks Seeing the city After 15 years Train passed the Meerut Cantt station and there come to Meerut City As Train stop it was raining heavily I went out and ran on the platform as the train only halt for 2 minutes saw the development and changes then ran towards my coach Digest the memories Life moves too fast. The train started and it was time to move on stood for a few minutes come back to my seat thought about Meerut and memories and then started watching SUIT Again then I sat on my seat till the train reached Shivaji Bridge then packed my bag and kept charge and Diary and Open the train door.


Seeing New Delhi station coming Train reached on 11th platform I was the first person to deboarded the train...  Then I went to the metro station and took the metro #last metro as it was 11:30pm and reached Hauz Khas and from there took an auto to Palam And then walked alone on the road listening to songs Dog barking reached home changed and slept off... 


 My Sole trip come to end...
