Get Set Go : I am starting my trip today ;-)

Endelig (Finally) the day has come. :-) Just finished with my packing and I am all set to start my trip @ 0700 hours/ 11th January 2013/ Friday and having a target to cover 350 km from Indore to Vadodara (a city in another state - Gujarat) same day. Its a plan - ideal as of now and I need to check how real it could be since *SHIT HAPPENS* and in my case it is very often :-P. I have my Uncle in Vadodara and I promised him to meet so, my first stop is not in rurals @ an unknown local's place as I have planned for my trip - but in a nearly big city and @ a known local's home :-) I am excited :-)



Being younger in home and very spoiled and pampered aswell, I actually have not packed my bags - I should say I was just seeing where and what they are putting-in and thats all.. but its my Mom and Bhabhi (Sister-in-law) who did it completely - Did I said it before that I want to grow up in my trip - welllll its not a goooood start - haha! I rest my case - I will never ever grow up in the eyes of my family members :-) and have no complains. Already gone through various rounds of instructions, Dos and Donts from all the people who knows about my trip.. Woofff!!! :-) Also - I am getting my tiffin box packed in morning :-) :-)


It has been wonderful time I spent at home - have almost forgotten the Mandir culture as being atheist but now I have been to temple almost everyday - ofcorse I can-not say No to my Mom :-)



Visited the place where I born, and went to school and the playgrounds - I was almost disconnected with all. I learnt in this running life - You need to create a spare time.. and now make the best use of that time to do what you really want to do - I wished to visit Nagda :-)



Anddddddddd we still have elephants on the streets. This was actually on very narrow street. Well its not a means of transport but the man sitting on it begs money from the shopkeepers and people give money since it is considered commonly as donating in the name of Lord Ganesha - famous Hindu God. Elephant is trained to raise its trunk which is considered that it is giving wishes and then it collects the money from people and pass it on to the Mahavata - the man riding over it. Mahavata keep on poking elephant with a stick in his hand - its a kind of instruction or whatever - for me it was not-good-at-all. The elephant was not enjoying. I observed very closely to its leg and it has swollen parts - I did nothing and I felt bad and I am still feeling sorry for doing nothing.. I could have atleast talked to people or something butttt............ I am feeling sorry..



This was all for now from Indore - my new home city and I am looking forward to ride on my bike in some hours., and I am ready and thrilled! :-)
