Heading North...........

All my life Blore, Chn and Salem are the only places that I have visited and have a good memory of. After spending a lot on fone calls on what was the best bet for a get away after wedding....., we guys settled for Kerala or HP.

While God's own country was still a fave, we thot it was perhaps time to spend a little more effort/money/time and get away as a proper get-away!! We finally settled for a Kulu-Manali trip.

It was my first trip North. My parents claim that they did take us to a North India tour when i was 2 years old - actually they dont even have a proof of it.....!! So i still maintain that this was my 1st trip up North :D.......

My 1st flight trip in life was to Delhi. Better half :) made super-cool arrangements of booking nice Jet Airways flight tickets. On an early Sat morning, being just married that Monday, we set out to Delhi...... all on a journey that seemed quite an adventure...... reason U'll know :D

We reached Delhi arnd 11 am and it seemed quite a hot day to begin with - June time and bestest season to get roasted..... well, we hardly cared abt Delhi, since our goals were higher :)

Our bus was scheduled at 6:00 pm from Janpath I guess! So we chose to take a hotel for that 1/2 day at Karol Bagh, supposedly closer to this place. At 12 noon, hunger was striking us hard and we went out in the cramped Karol Bagh for a proper eat-out.....!! and guess what...... the typical curd-rice hoggers we, to our luck spotted a Saravana Bhavan bang on the road into Karol Bagh.......!! Luck was ours, we had a happy sumptuous meal and headed back to the hotel. He happily slept the entire afternoon and me, the newly wedded bride..... paavam quite haplessly wondering if all of this was real or just a passing dream......

Come 4:00 pm, we were all set out for the bigger destination....... We reached Janpath arnd 5:00 pm and had some waiting time..... He packed up some quick McDonalds burgers..... Hardly enough fort

Seemed like the lunch was not too good on me, I had a rumble tummy and thankfully we found a decent rest room while waiting...... Mannie was good enuff to comfort me and we were up and running by 5:45 to take the bus.

Closer to 6:00, the bus took off...... all packed for a journey that would mark a day!! We traveled across Delhi's roads, sometimes nice, sometimes foreign and sometimes void....... Arnd 8:00 pm, the bus guy put on a Hindi movie - Golmaal I guess......!! Goodness gracious, what a choatic movie..... it literally extracted all the sleep off me and I was already tired out...... Thankfully responsible pathi-dev again comforted me and we were trying throw glances like most newly weds do..... the typical filmi way....... U for me and I for U..... what more??

........ More later.................!!
