A small tour off to Punjab.

I along with two of of my friends (mridul and robin) set off to Phagwara (a small district in punjab) on 19th of march 2015, as mridul and myself had a written examination of LIC AAO at LPU(Lovely Professional University) in phagwara and Robin just tagged along with us to have some fun and to visit some places. 

We Boarded a Bus at 3.00 pm which had to drop us at Phagwara, the conductor assured us that it would only take four hours to reach there, so we sat in the first row of the bus and started our Bus journy towards Punjab. I wore my earphones and started listening to songs and tried of pass my time and on the other hand mridul and robin were having an erotic adult chit chat between themselves, i didn't exactly heard them about what they were talking but come on they are unmarried dudes what are they gonna talk about! There were two bus drivers in the bus and they took turns to drive the bus and they were utterly disgusting in their driving and way too sluggish that even the auto riskshaw walas could apparently overrun them. I knew that 4 hrs would be a long distant and unaccomplished thing for the driver to reach Phagwara so we prepared ourselves to go through with it. We reached Pathankot(the border of Punjab), almost a middle point of our journey and there the bus stopped for refreshments, so we stepped outside the bus and took some drinks and also ate some ice creams and just after 15 minutes the bus was ready to move again. After a long enduring journey of 6 hours we finally reached Phagwara and then we stepped outside the bus and breathed a sigh of relief as we were already very late to find some kind of accommodation there. We inquired and reached a dharamshala(its a kind of lodge built for the community service where rooms are available at very low rental), we went inside and then asked for a room, the receptionist gave us the keys and there we had big room with three beds, each bed for all of us to spend our night. We left our baggages there and locked the room and went outside to get some dinner. Just outside the Dharamshala there was a Dhaba, so we decided to take our dinner there. We sat there and ordered what was there on the menu(Dhal, aloo gobhi, chappatis and curd) the dhaba owner took our order with a quite dejected and morose look like he was very disappointed from his life, we ate our dinner till we relived ourselves of our hunger. After eating our dinner we went for a little walk into the market and we brought some roasted peanuts and some edibles and oranges for the night and there we saw (i am pretty sure but its my perception of what i saw) a faggot (gay/lesbian(not sure)) on the roadside in the middle of the night looking for his/her(i don't know what gender to attach here, i am not good at this) clients. We then jokingly passed from there and we were passing some dude jokes(those who know about it great and those who don't they need not to know about it) on each other and sharing a huge laugh. We went inside our room and as soon as i went inside i called dibs on on the cleaner bed and i put my bag on it and its how we do it in India, we put our bag on the seat. we took our the camera and took some pictures and refreshed ourselves and then went to bed at around 11:30 pm. As we were about to sleep Mridul got some weird asexual feelings(i dont know what he eats these days and whom he sleeps with by the way), i dont know what was he doing inside the mattress but something got him going, somehow it was a drag, it was an another half an hour of pricking and weird sex jokes(which were mainly targeted towards me) till we all got exhausted and went back to sleep.

I woke up at around 8.00 am, at that time Mridul was about to leave for LPU for his examination, as he had his exam in the morning shift and i had my exam in the day shift, so i had a lot of time, so i slept back again. Mridul left at 8.15 am and soon after half an hour Robin also left to Chandigarh to his college apparently he had some stuff to look after but before leaving he assured that he would meet us at Golden Temple in Amritsar. Both of them left till 9.00 am and i was still sleeping i again woke up at 9.30 am and cleaned myself and emptied my bowels. I packed my bag and got ready and i checked out of the room at 10.20 am. I took my breakfast at the dhaba which was just outside the Dharamshala and from there i took a bus to LPU. It was a 10 minute ride to reach there and soon as i reached there I saw students already waiting outside the main gate but the entry was barred to go inside the university till 11.00 am. I was standing just outside the main gate waiting to get entry inside the university and just i was standing there i saw a flock of beautiful girls walking past me and going inside the university and then I thought that I don't care for how long I am gonna stand there in the sun but as far as I would get to see these pretty girls one after another I am okay with it. Anyway at 11 am the gate was opened for us to enter inside the university and I have to say that it was damn good one, it was a freaking village inside there, there was a mall inside the university can u believe it, a mall inside the university with a hospital and other shopping complexes and many food courts were also inside. It was a long walk till i reached the specified block in which my exam was about to be held, i had one and half an hour till the starting time of my exam so i decided to revise some current affairs in the spare time. As i was trying to focus on the phone to read the GK which in all likelihood i was unable to do due to a spree of girls wandering here and there and i was like completely distracted for the next one hour, i loved the freaking LPU. At 12.30 am i met Mridul and he came out of the center with a dejected look because his performance in the exam didn't went as as per his expectations and boy he does have a lot of expectations. We then went to the canteen which was located inside the university campus and we took our lunch there and then i asked Mridul to wait for me there till i come out of the center after giving my exam. I went inside the examination hall at 1.30 pm and the exam started at 2.00 pm and ended at 4.00 pm. I did ok, not that good but given the fact of my gap in practicing i did good. I came out of the center at 4.00 pm and met mridul outside as he was waiting for me there and also i met there one of my old college buddy Danish, it was good to meet him after a long time. We then went to the canteen again and drank some chocolate shakes and then went outside of the university to board a bus to Amritsar. We boarded the bus at 4.45 pm and traveled all the way to Amritsar. We reached Amritsar at 7.30 pm and that time we decided to go directly to golden temple so we took a riskhaw from the bus stand to the golden temple and there we saw the amazing charm and effulgence of the magnificent golden temple. It was already night time so we first decided to get a room for the night, we  first inquired for the dharamshala but it was weekend so it was houseful at all the dharamshalas, so we then went to a cheap hotel and rented a room for the night and then we put our luggage in the room and refreshed ourselves a bit and then we again went to golden temple with full vigor to perceive the exquisite beauty of the golden temple. We went inside the golden temple and it was pretty crowded inside but the management there is wonderful, we strolled around the lake and were completely enchanted by the beauty of the temple. We sat there and then passed a considerate amount of time by talking and appreciating the irreproachable beauty of that  masterpiece which has a great significance both spiritually and historically. We spent almost an hour and then we went to take dinner as i was starving so we went to restaurant just outside the temple, we ordered our usual 'Shahi Paneer' with 'naan' and 'curd'. i really enjoyed it but on the contrary mridul could not because it seemed like he was suffering from headache. After finished a nice meal i tipped the waiter with 30 rs (this is the biggest tip which i have given in my whole life by way) because i really liked their customer service and also the dish tasted fantastic. After that we again went inside the temple and we encountered a grave problem, our friend Robin who assured us to meet there in the evening was no where visible, we called him many times but he didn't returned our calls and after sometime his phone was shutdown, so we were really pissed off at him. We went and sat inside the temple waiting for him and hoping that he might call us or he might meet us in the temple instead but to our disappointment it never happened. After waiting for almost 40 minutes we went back to our room at 10:30 pm. As soon as soon we entered in our rooms mridul had some gastric issues so he went in the bathroom and vomited all the shahi paneer right back into the toilet, alas he wasted such a wonderful dish and in the mean timewhile he was vomiting Robin's mother called so i picked up the phone and told her the truth about her son, so they became much worried. I confronted mridul and persuaded him to call them and give them some solace. After then i went to sleep directly but there were continuous calls coming from his family and as i vaguely remember that at midnight Robin's call came and asked mridul to pick him up from the temple and Mridul rightfully declined him( with some slangs in the process) and asked him to stay in the temple for the night and then he disconnected the phone and then i slept peacefully.

As i Woke up at 7 am i remember that Robin called Mridul to pick him up from the temple, so Mridul went back to the temple and picked him from there and came back to the room after 10 minutes with Robin with him. First of all we were pretty angry at him so we tried to reason with him but he is as we call him 'Bael Budhi' he has a fat mind apparently and u can pierce nothing through that. After 15 minutes of jibber jabber that we had with him we decided to quickly pack our bags and freshen ourselves up and to proceed with our tour. We wound up our luggage and checked out of the room at around 9 am and went directly to golden temple. There we decided to take bath in the lake inside the temple so we took took a spot for ourselves and took a nice cool bath inside that lake and also took some magnificent pics there. After that we went to the 'Langar' (the 24*7 free food distribution camp of the temple) and took our breakfast there and the food was delicious. After finishing with our breakfast we bowed ourselves in front of the temple with great love and admiration for the saints by whose efforts we stood there to appreciate such a marvel which connects to the people emotionally and spiritually and which is a great symbol of love and unity. After coming out of  the temple Robin and Mridul decided to go the 'Wagah Border' but i was pretty tired till that time and my stomach was also answering me perhaps my stomach is home sick, so i decided not to go there. Both of them were very much firm in their decision to go there but on the contrary i was too, so i decided to head back home to Jammu. We walked to the bus stand where both of them took their bus to Wagah Border and i took mine to Jammu. The bus started its journey at 12.20 pm so i geared myself up for a long one. In almost the middle of the journey a kind of mishap happened, the right rear tire of the Bus exploded and it made a sound much similar to a bullet or a bomb. First of all, all the passengers panicked and mistook it as some terrorist attack on bus as if someone fired a bullet on the bus and on the other hand i was too busy listening to songs via my earphone so i was kind of immersed in that thing so i was very much little or not at all effected by that. After some time the passengers noticed that it wasn't some kind of a terrorist attack rather it was the tire which exploded and also we came to know that due to the explosion the mudguard over the tire was also blown away which injured a passenger who was on that seat. After half an hour they fixed the tire and the injured family stepped outside the bus and we continued our journey towards Jammu. At 6 pm i reached home and accumulated my words to summon up this tour.
