This trip was special – we had multiple reasons to celebrate! It was Ganesh’s bachelor party, Pradeep’s farewell, and Jagganna’s birthday – all rolled into one. We had originally thought about different locations, but considering everyone's schedule, we decided to keep it simple and stay near Bengaluru. We chose Hasiru Bhoomi Resort , which is mentioned as being in Yelahanka , but honestly, it felt much farther. From Vijayanagar , it took us nearly 1.5 hours and around 50 km to reach — it felt more like Nelamangala than Yelahanka! Once we reached, it was time to enjoy. We kicked off the day with a game of cricket – or should I say a lot of arguing and fighting over cricket ! 😄 Even the burning sun couldn’t stop us from having fun.  After all the energy spent on the field, we cooled off with some fun pool games , which everyone enjoyed. Then came a quick lunch and rest break , before jumping back into more evening cricket . Though the resort had some indoor games, most of us...

Our visit to Kashi was nothing short of magical, filled with divine moments and unforgettable experiences.  The evening began with the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. After the aarti, we prepared for a spiritual journey to the Kashi Vishwanatha Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva. Known as the city’s spiritual heart, the temple attracts devotees from across the world. We arrived at the temple around 1:00 AM and joined the queue of eager devotees. The anticipation of entering the sacred shrine kept us energized, despite the late hour. After hours of waiting, we had the darshana of Lord Shiva around 5:00 AM. The Sparsha Aarti, where devotees can witness and feel the divine vibrations of the deity, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The atmosphere inside the temple was filled with chants of “Har Har Mahadev,” creating a deep sense of devotion and peace. Our spiritual journey continued to the Kalabhairava Temple, another revered spot in Kash...

Kashi, also called Varanasi, is one of the holiest cities in India. Located on the banks of the sacred Ganga River, it is a place full of spirituality and ancient traditions. Our visit to this city was a mix of divine experiences and peaceful moments by the ghats. After a pleasant stay in Ayodhya, we started our next leg of the journey early in the morning. We caught an early train to Varanasi and reached by afternoon, completing the quick 4.5-hour journey. By the time we arrived, found our accommodation, and settled in, it was almost evening. Thankfully, we managed to secure a stay at Jangamwadi Math, a peaceful place to unwind. Once we freshened up, we headed straight to witness the famous Ganga Aarati, a spiritual highlight of Varanasi. The Aarati takes place every evening along the ghats, typically starting around 6:30 PM during summer months and 5:30 PM during winter months. It lasts for approximately 45 minutes to an hour, drawing crowds of devotees and curious travelers from all...

After an exciting first day visiting Rashtrapati Bhavan and Parliament House, we were eager to explore more of Delhi on our second day. We decided to join a one-day tour bus service, which cost 350 INR per person. The itinerary promised visits to several popular sites, making it an affordable and convenient way to experience Delhi’s highlights. However, once we boarded the bus, we came to know that due to the Dussehra festival, a few routes were closed for Buses. This meant we’d miss out on the Lotus Temple and, unfortunately, the Red Fort — two places we’d been looking forward to. Though it was disappointing, we were ready to make the most of our day. Our journey began on time, with the bus picking us up at the designated spot. The first stop was at Birla Mandir (also known as Laxmi Narayan Temple). This beautiful temple was a peaceful start to the tour, allowing us to admire its impressive architecture and serene atmosphere. Our second stop brought us back near Rashtrapati Bhavan and...
