A journey that was much more ..........

                              A journey that was much more 

It was in the bleak midafternoon on 19th of september 2022 , and that was monday. And that was when mallinath approached me regarding the celebration of his cousin's birthday (1year) . So without  further notice , I jumped in to say YES .

AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THIS WONDERFUL JOURNEY..............

We started our journey on 22nd of night and not one not two  , but we were 25+ people from Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute , all ready for this auspicious journey to YADGIR , KARNATAKA .

We were scheduled for departure at 11:30 pm on the NANDED EXPRESS , and so the journey began . Its indeed a great moment when all of a sudden more than 20 people embark upon any journey , and it end's up to be the best of memories for everyone one of us .

We arrived the next day at 9:00 am to YADGIR and just got out of train and there were Two cruisers waiting for us , to be taken to KORI SIDDESHWAR MATHA ( temple ).The journey was filled with green fields of paddy and dal , and it was wonderful . So once we arrived , we washed up and with blessings of the god , we were ready for breakfast . It was delicious Upama with Sonapapadi , later ended with TEA and Coffee . After that we left to Ibrahimpur ( village ) , where we were supposed to freshen up and move to Shahpur ( where the birthday function was to be held ).

We reached Shahpur at around 1:30 in afternoon, had wonderful lunch with the whole family. The food needs a special appreciation, because of variety and Taste. The function was scheduled to be at 8:00 pm, so after the lunch we decided to decorate with balloons and decoration items. It was delightful to watch every one of us indulging in the celebration so much so that we forgot the time flying by ..........

Very soon it was 8:00 and everything was arranged and set for the people to come. We had the entire Family and Neighbours and Friends from bangalore , filling the roof of the building with happiness and smile. 

Special Mention to the birthday boy  ( Hrishabh ) , who's just turning 1 and its indeed a great occasion  for his parents and family .

So the celebration began with grand entry on a remote modelled car , on which the birthday boy arrived . Later on followed by cake cutting and photo session with the family friends and neighbors. Dinner was arranged for everyone and we were there  serving food to the people . it continued till 10:00 and later we had dinner with everyone .

NO NO NO , THE CELEBRATIONS DIDNT JUST END THERE ......

The best moments of the occasion continued with Dance , it all began with two kids Shravya and Tejaswini who are 6 , just dancing and vibing for the evening , we couldn't resist the urge to join these two happy people . that's when we hopped on one foot over another in this dance .  The dance continued for another hour or so and later the family joined in to celebrate with a dance .

WHAT A WONDERFUL EVENING IT WAS , SO HAPPY TO SEE EVERYONE CELEBRATING AND ENJOYING TO THE FULLEST  , AND DEFINITELY WHAT A DANCE THAT WAS , LETTING YOUR HEART OUT TO THE WORLD AND BEING AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF AND THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU ......

Cleaned up and slept at around 12:30 am .

The next day we  woke up and freshened up with a Grand Breakfast of  (Chunmuri Susala ) , and planned our day ahead with visit to buddha Vihar . It was a enduring trek to the top of one mountain , visiting the temple and continuing ahead with another higher mountain . Two hands helped Two more in this journey ahead

@ From paying 10 rupees per ticket with getting back at Custard apple fruits .  

@From climbing steps to hanging roots like tarzan

@From moving ahead to the lake on the top to the maximum ripples of stone on the water

@From climbing back up to the fort to the beveraging on the snacks

@From climbing down again to hiring an auto to home ...........................

It was an entire 9km trek , filled with excitement , memory , meeting new people cherishing the old friendship on the way , building the longing feel and leveraging on the old ones...

Later that evening , cleaned up and had lunch with the family , and like everytime the food here needs a special appreciation, i dont know if its the taste or love thats holds the food together .Later that evening we embarked upon a Cricket Match behind the home, and what a match it was , with the local kids the time we spent was to be cherished again and again .Something was different , the people , the smiling kids , the cricket match , everything was like a new beginning of the old memories that we once had.

We were packing up to leave at around 8:00 in the evening , the whole family and we got together in the hall , exchanging words and feelings and telling them that the past two days were indeed the best one in a lond time . The traditional BId Off in India .

we left on a cruiser all the way back to YADGIR RAILWAY STATION . The train was scheduled for departure at 10:30 YESWANTPUR EXPRESS . Hopped in and had Pullav rice before putting out our blankets on for this wonderful journey lapsing in the memories.............
