Rendezvous with Rajasthan & Back to Home

It has been nice stay in Hanumangarh and I thought of travelling a longer stretch of more than 300 kms next day to reach Kishangarh - a place famous for Marbles and Granite rocks across the world. 

I have seen camels on every Kilometer.. many were tied to some trees, used as rides on roads and also as a goods carrier in this region.


The vegetation is like nothing due to scarcity of rainfall and heavy heat..

All the domestic animals left by their masters to gaze on open lands for food have preferred shade rather than  supper..

 and that was it on all my sides.. flat lands and desert kind.. water at some places are arranged by tankers which loads water from river sides and deliver water all around..

But the quality roads should be appreciated.. it was smooth..
 Homes in villages are all made of mud and many were not having roofs..

 But all villages had atleast a temple.

Overloaded trucks and I bet noone can find the number plate and can count number of tyres.. :)

Beautiful temple of Kuber - a God considered as Treasurer of other Gods.. can say it as the God's Banker ;)


Something like Sand-dunes.. :)

And I reached Churu.. a place famous for deers.. :) I saw them crossing the roads, jumping all around and playing with each other.. :) :)





 And suddenly the blue sky turned white as the clouds popped in from somewhere.. well I was excited for rains.. :)

And the white clouds turned black.. definitly it gonna be rains.. :)

and it rained// :)


I stopped at a restaurant or say DHABA and had my delicious tea and Pakoras :) delicacies of season. :)

and I reached at the doorsteps of Kishangarh.. actually its Marble and Granite Market.. :) its like 100s of vendors lined till the city starts... :)



I spent a night there and left for Bhilwara next day.. but I got Naseerabad on my way and one should not miss the Kachoraaaaa of Chawani lal's shop.. :) :) it is huge and 1 Kachora could be a diet for 3 people.. :)


I stayed at my Uncle and Aunt's place and met my cousins,. and time for family picture.. :)

And I left for my home.. its time to finish my trip.. :) I have travelled soooo long for this day.. for that moment.. that moment of reaching home and meeting my mom at door welcoming me.. hugging her and cherishing my experience and joy with her, my dad and all there.. :) I left Bhilwara for home.. Nagda where my father works.. :)

I had to cover Chittorgarh, Neemuch, Mandsaur, Jaora and then Nagda..

I reached Chittorgarh and get oiling in my bike's chain..


There locals gave me strict instruction that - I shouldnt give lift to any stranger on my way.. and if I stop my bike for anything then I should keep my eyes over it.. reason was - in this belt of Madhya Pradesh there is heavy smuggling of a narcotic called Afeem which is famously know is OPIUM .. there is a big business of it around it and many people who smuggle they take lifts into cars, trucks and motorbikes passing by.. and they carry this OPIUM with them.. and if any inspector  asked you to stop and he get caught then you are also taken into investigation and possibly you will be also in radar of suspicion.. So I was careful and I did what I was said.. was sad to know about this thing happening in my own state..

Well I started my journey to home.. Indore was 298km and Nagda is like 100km before it .. its a small town so I was waiting for some sign-board which could tell me about it..


And here I found the one.. its 47km now.. My parents knew that I was coming and they were very excited.. I was out from my home from 11th January and it was 21st June I returned back after completing my trip..


As the distance was coming near.. I was getting nervous,, the same feeling which I had on the first day of my trip.. :) last few kilometers and I was concentrating to cover each kilometer carefully.. :)

11 Kilometers to go..

And I saw chimney of my dad's company.. :)
 And very famous Chamunda Mandir.. I am just 3 kilometers away.. :)

And as I reached home and parked my bike... My mom was waiting at doorsteps.. wowwwwww!!! what a smile of satisfaction on her face.. it added her beauty... She did some religious ceremony as a notion of good-luck and home-coming.. :) both of our eyes were wet but I must say - that hug was the warmest hug I ever got in my life till today.. :) the super best Mom in the whole planet & her spoiled Son was back.. :) :) She gets a pride of Queen and I fancy like her prince charming... :) :)

Oh Yes! I am done with my trip.. I dreamed of 28 states and 7 union territories and I ended by completing 19 states and 6 union territories and except Andaman & Nicobar islands, rest all was on my Royal Enfield.. :) Not Bad! :)

And the peacock also welcomed me.. :) :)



Well about my trip this is like my last post but there will be one more post - a kind of Summary or Snapshot! :) :)

I learnt a lot of things but still I dont know why I started my trip, why I wished to be alone, what was driving me that I covered 18,200 Kms in 5 months and I really have no wish to derive something out of it.. it was my  Joy Ride and I think that I got a feeling that I have LIVED my life,, :)

Thanks to all my readers, family, friends and my Priya for their support.. and also to those who touched my life during this journey of mine & I am proud of my self that I dared to break the pattern which I was in and also those strings that had my grip and that brute force in Me that let me take this flight of my life.. :) I lived my dream and there is nothing in this world more worthy than doing it..

Good-bye! :)
