Journey to Rourkela


Journey to Rourkela:


This journey started from Jaipur. I along with six friends : Aakash, Archita, Bhavneet, Ghanshyam, Prerna & Shiv. (Believe me most of them are psycos)

We take bus to Agra from Sindhi camp. I go to sleep as soon as I capture my sleeper birth. We went to Dheeraj Chaha's room for a temperory stay. We take tea, breakfast & went for agra tour. Most unfortunately TAJ was close because of friday, as Friday prayer is going to held in Mosque in taj premises. I never understand why govt. take such decisions of close a monument like Taj for religious purpose. Half-hearted we went to see Red fort. Mughal palace architecture reached its peak with the construction of the Red Fort at Agra. Built over many centuries under different regimes, it is the product of many different architects who each worked on only a small portion of the whole. To our eyes, this gives the Red Fort a rather eclectic feel that is unified only by the ubiquitious red sandstone that gives the fortress its name.

As everybody want to have a TAJ sight we decided to go for Black Taj Foundation site but Bhavneet as usual not using his brain revolt against. He called the plan a shear waste of money which was not. It is hard to convince Bhavneet. Aakash had some argument with him too.

After viewing Taj from the banks of So called Pavitra Yamuna ( It is hardly pure, all blackish water) we reached house again. We take Lunch there and leave for Rourkela in evening for Kaling Utkal exp.
