Contd. Badaltey Rishtey 11/01/10—Road Trip (Part 2)
After some delay to our scheduled flight we all were finally flying together to our First road trip!
But one of us wanted to have a different seating arrangement among the two cars .Takshi began complaining within the First hour of our drive. She was already ruling the back seat of my car alone and we had Bawa sitting next to me….putting them together in one car but this girls has something cooking in her mind. I ignored all her complaints and tried to explain her Live for others today….and your trip would be remembering lifetime.
After just one stoppage to have tea we made it Vrindavan at Noon. The whole feeling changed …..we were at a place where the lord had just blessed everyone around…where the lord has played around.
Traffic Chaos brought us back to reality and the clock was teasing us …..as we just heard that temple closes at 12 or 12.30 from a Rikshaw walla bhaiya….. And temple would reopen at 4 pm after that.Damn we have to rush! The other car was already ahead of us somewhere lost in the traffic ….A buzzing call from Doubleekskha told us to just rush to temple at the earliest anyhow alone or together for Darshan and then we all would have a reunion later. Me ,Bawa and Sharma were together in my car now..we were lucky enough to find a parking place and just hid our cell phones and remaining amount of cash somewhere or another in the car.(P.S. - Under the seat covers is a good place for such stuff) .
With clock running we had our selves jogging and dodging ourselves making our way through the crowd .Saving ourselves from ramming into Cows and dogs around we made it to the temple.
We had just asked one of the shopkeepers where we bought these tasty PEDAAS for the Temple timing …he told us its open till 1 pm .Definitely a sigh of relief to everyone one us.I had already asked Sharma and Bawa to rush in for darshan. On by way to temple we all got together and wanted flowers as well….we did that and rushed into the temple. This temple is always packed with large no. of devotees anytime of the year…we made our selves in from the Exit door somehow and was now a part of HUGE group of devotees all around us. All with the single common motive and words from their mouth…Krishna Krishna Hare Hare , Hare Hare Krishna Krishna….the whole synergy though accumulated can’t be defined in words. It can be just felt….one can feel the vibes as the curtain covers and uncover the Sri Krishna’s Murti…it’s just so lively….just keep looking on to it and you would just get lost in it….
An suddenly with a strong push among the crowd one would wake up and realize that he has to offer flowers and sweets to the lord.
It’s not at all easy to do that….. witnessing poor management at temples was certainly the human fault all over the country and here as well…we had many people and Panditjis helping us to offer our flowers and sweets to the lord but the common thing I noticed among all of them which I hated at that moment was they grabbed money first and then offered the flowers and sweets to the Lord!
Crowd takes you everywhere at such places …a push you are in and a stronger push to throw you out! And all of us made our way out sooner or later in next 15 min. We all were lucky enough to find our footwear back and regroup thanking Sri Krishna was bringing us together here …..
After Pooja it was time for peth pooja…Khulad waali Lassi and Tikki with cholley was the Staple food all around, We all enjoyed it at a Place where Subh knew it to be good…
What Next …..after few more temples and sightseeing with a trip on autos big enough to contain all of us together. We all just grabbed the best seats we could left with Bawa sittin or Hanging (he know’s the best )next to auto walle Bhaiya….certainly a laugh to share…and remember…
During our sightseeing and visits to temple we had Sharma thanking to Monkeys .Takshi was scared a little more that all of us from monkeys…and was just holding Sharma tight whenever a monkey slipped nearby.(May be sharma was already getting one of his prayers completed ).(Last part with pics to pe posted by 6pm)
