The 110km distance took us about 4 hours to drive...the roads were pathetic, considering it is such an important destination for people around the world. The place there was packed to the last inch of available space, and pretty understandable because weekends here are like that and one better get used to it. It becomes very difficult to maintain a place that huge when the crowds swell in number, and all it requires is that the devotees are more conscious of the place they are in and realise its sanctity.
The Sanctum Sanctorum was the best part with the deities dressed in bright pink and looked splendid. It was definitely an experience to be rememebered for a long time in every sense.
And then, the best thing that happened that day was the superb win against the Aussies at Perth, wrapping up the test in 4 days. Cheers to our Team India and especially the ever-so humble Anil Kumble.
Sunday, the day we usually wake up late and laze around. But this Sunday was different.
The annual Vintage car rally in association with 'The Statesman' was organised at the Eastern Command stadium.
Hardly a few mins away from our home, we went there with a lot of eagerness.
More Information here.
The cars definitely stole the limelight with each one rich with its past, gleaming in the sun. One had to look at it over and over again to get the sense of how it must have in those days. Loved every minute of that experience. We spotted Cadillacs, Ford, Jaguars, Austins...and even a few bikes from the past.The proud owners of these beauties were more than delighted to show-off their cars. The stadium was full of car enthusiasts and people who just wanted a slice of history.
What a lovely way to spend a beautiful Sunday morning!!
