RAUL's WALL
A trip to Gurudwara
Well the pic above is of "Charminar"...Long Story...
Me, T and P went to celebrate "Guru Nanak Jayanti" in a gurudwara yesterday night. The first conversaton we had when we all met
Me: So where are we going?
T: To a gurudwara somewhere in Abids?(thats some 15 kms away)
Me: Somewhere?
T: P knows the way?
P: Not me, my friend(who was not there) knows the way and she'll guide us there.
Me: So whats the occasion? Its "Guru Nanak Jayanti" right?
P: Huh...Its "Guru GovindSingh Jayanti" today!!!
Me and T thought for a while. Since P is a punjabi she may be right. But I remembered vaguely about my parents taching me when I was a kid that "If its in the winters then its "Guru Nanak Jayanti". So...
Me: No ways. It is "Guru Nanak Jayanti"...and am sure about it..
P: Looking everywhere accept in the front(she was driving)...Ohh shittt ...I didn't know !!!
We all couldn't stop but explode. After 2 mins:
P: Now where to go?
For heavens sake it was hardly 1 km we had travelled.
After almost an hour we reached the place we wanted to go. Avg speed= 15Kms/Hr and that too at 12.00 midnight.
Then comes the best part. We sat in the gurudwara for almost 1.5 hrs listening to the prayers. Me and T do not understand punjabi at all. So all we were doing was nodding. Since P was keen on sitting through the entire ceremony me and T went out to see old city. Wow. Its so so brightly lit and clean and open and traffic free in the night. Ended up reached "charminar" and it was looking fabulous in the night with the full moon above it.
Made couple of videos of the entire trip. Dark but hilarious.
Finally everything got over and we reached home at 4 in the morning. Not after having a bread-omelette from one of those road side "thela walas". Too too good at that hour of the night.
Work did suffer next morning 'cause of this night exploit but then who cares. Work still is not the number 1 priority for me!!!

WOW! The pic is gorgeous. And looks like you had an awesome night. Oh now that you spoke of bread and omlette frm the 'thelas', it reminded me of this breakfast i had at one of those 'thelas' in Nainital. And saath mein garma-garam chai..In that cold and moist weather, man, theres nothing like it! It was just awesome! =)
And wasn't the moon simply breath-taking? =)
that sounds like sooooooo much of fun and yaa i agree with u that work shud never be the #1 priority
Came back at 4 in d morning?? Cooooool!!! I wish I cud do that some time, go on a long drive late night but a lil faster tht u guys :))
Long nights just completely distort the day but sounds like you had fun and pretyy picture :)
Medha If you think the picture is gorgeous just wait for the videos. Totally idiotic. And nothing is better than having a hot chai(with ginger) in a cup made of mud(we call is koolhad).
And yes the moon is looking so so heavenly these days. Today is the 3rd night after full moon. It'll look cool too. U take snap of it and i'll do the same. Lets compare the moon here in India and Spore.
Swathi Yeah total fun. And I guess work shud be on the lowest priority. Unless there is chance that u may get fired :) :)
Shradha Well who told you to go back home? He He there you can't do all this. Come back to hyd and maybe i'll tag u along in one of my night adventures!!!
