Karnal


It was one day when I found myself gasping for breath ...wait don't get me wrong here...i'm not asthmatic..it happened as an outcome of sitting idle at my place for very long and as a result of prolonged boredom. I tried real hard to keep myself busy with books but then you hardly get unputdownable stuff from a library like British Council and as a result had to manage with books by Manju kapur and likes which I found very effective to test one's true ability to endure crap and deal with boredom but you can't keep up a fight of this sort for long...you are sure to succumb against such rare talents and their books. At last I was left with zilch.
But then thought of my friends...thought that they are the ones who can help me escape from such long boredom but then to my bad luck they were all busy considering there are only few..thanks to my misanthropic attitude.But I somehow communicated my feelings to them.

Like they say...a friend in need is a friend indeed..these friends did come to my rescue. We all planned a short jaunt to Karnal in Haryana and hence headed in the direction of it on this sunday. I thought this would definitely bring some relief but never thought ..not even for a second that I shall be soon embarking upon one of the most beautiful jaunt of my life. We left early in the morning at 6:30 in two cars from Delhi to karnal. We've had fun of our life on our way to karnal. We kicked off with a breakfast in a dhaba called Punjabi Tadka which thankfully served us edible Paranthe with white butter and mineral water.Once we reached karnal ...it felt unbeleivingly good to see such beautiful surrounding all around us. We went boating for half an hour in karnal lake..which I thought was the fastest way to have six pack abs. We rode happily in scorching heat with my friend's faces gone red and mine black but it was worth of all the hardships we've had to go through. Clicked as many photographs in whatever possible poses and locations s.a facing "tittu teastall" and no. of crazy of them and finally came back by 7:00 in the evening. But It felt amazingly awesome to have such a wonderful jaunt with all my friends by my side.This day would indelibly remain in my heart forever.
Thanks each one of you who despite of their own problems did so much for me. You guys are my true friends.M missing you all :(
Hope we'll have one more very soon ..!!
Thanks..!!

Thanks Gaurav for going through it.
I truly understand your sentiments and ideas to promote Karnal and provide adequate information on it but to share my personal photographs with a stranger like you seems a bit tough of a choice if privacy and safety are to be considered esp when a medium like internet is involved and is so polluted. But I wouldn't disappoint you ..I'll mail all those pics which exclude me and my friends and those that i find safe enough to be shared on this part of cosmos..such as the one posted by me.
thanks you liked my post.

I truly enjoyed reading tour blog and have got to know so much about Karnal city. The city has rich cultural and historical background. For travellers, there are various hotels in Karnal offering reasonable stay.
