RABTHAMBORE TRIP-Part-1

The trip

5 december 2013 was supposed to be the day for physics papers to be shown. but who cares.. everybody was more excited about the Ranthambore trip which was supposed to happen after the end of the  strenuous and nothing less than a horror movie .. the end term exams .. which made people who topped their respective schools and colleges worry about the flunking.. 

lets not talk about things that arent important and lets get back to the ranthambore trip.

initially about 12 people were supposed to go. but due to some reasons only 10 of us went.. i, nishant ( he is from oman ) bassooma. mooosa , ali ( these three from yemen .. now they dnt know hindi properly .. nishant is a NRI whereas these three are foreign nationals) kripali, manisha lalit sarvesh and the evergreen lakhan ( from nepal)(you must have obviously loved the tune My name is lakhan.. sajno ka sajan)

lalit is a day scholar so he was suppsed to reach the station on his own at 5:15 in the morning. what was amazing is that lalit is famous for getting up late and missing the initial periods.. by late i mean .. umm 10 am and we were all doubtful that he would make it.

all the other 9 were supposed to assemble at PMC (piya milan chauraha ) at 4:15 am but i was sure that nobody was gonna make it on time so i asked them to assemble at 4:00. but contrary to my expectations they came at 4:30. in the meantime called the auto which we had booked a day before as you dont find autos easily early in the morning. to add to our already late schedule. the autowala did not pick up the the call. so nishant went to the gate and arranged for the autos while i and sarvesh kept on calling the others to come fast if they did not wish to miss the train.

somehow or the other we did manage to get on the train 'quite comfortably'. in the train we played TDS ( truth dare and situation.. a favourite among teens ) ..sang songs and laughed  we got down at the sawai madhopur at 7:45 after the short train journey of 2 hours.

took an auto and went to the market famous for its kachoris and samosas.. even the yemenis who are 'pure' non veg liked it and that came as a surprise to us. then we went to  the booking centre to collect our online boarding passes where unfortunately the booking centre was closed and was to open at 12:30. So now what to do ? there came technology at its best .. GPS .. places to visit.. none restaurants none.. how the hell do the people live here.. and not to forget its a big town with a train stopover time of 10 minutes.amazing..

what we did ?

went to a park.. clicked photos.. with some expert photography comments from moosa.. you see sa'moosa'..
