Hijra Dance on Harry Wedding 2012

Finale of the Great wedding Dec 2012 of my nephew Harpreet with Harleen was the impromptu dance by Eunuchs who crashed into our house. 

They performed a great 'Hijrha Dance', they were in turn rewarded by my sister handsomely. But they were also keen to take away the branded Jacket of Harvinder too, as they somehow sensed it was foreign made.

Wedding Day Harry 2012 - Memorable

The beautiful memories:

Changing the face of my village Badbar Dec 2012

Changing Face of my village Badbar.

Freshly painted shops, excellent Dhaba-Testaurant-Chaat shop, upgrading of Sangrur Railway Station, village Gurdwara Sahib and usual green wheat fields with fresh cool breeze made me nostalgic. 

The Sangrur Railway Station was freshly paired as the recent Union minister of Railways Mr Pawan Kumar Bansal belonged to Sangrur constituency.

A gold medal Air rifle shooter Sherjung Jeet Singh Randhawa was proudly supporting himself by helping serve the tables.

Start of Railway Journey at New Delhi early in the cold morning.

I thanked God that the Texi driver reached safe and sound. As we started from Jangpura, the taxi driver a burly Sikh young man was too much energetic. He was rushing through the red lights. I asked him to stop driving in this manner, but he will not listen. Finally at a red light near Golf Course, Zakir Hussain Rd, I asked him to stop and drop me then and there. This time I could draw his attention and now I started following the rules.

But as we progressed our journey, we found on every light no body cared for rules but our driver was struck. I also felt that we run the risk of an accident. So I reluctantly instructed him to drive on his own rules. So he was now driving smooth following the local rules.

We heaved a sigh of relief after reaching the station above.

Learning How to Operate Puppets in Kumbhalgarh Dec 2012

Kumbhalgarh Fort - Maharana Pratap Birth place

A Day at Club Mahindra, Kumbhalghat, Kelwara, Udaipur 2012.

Maharana Rana Pratap was born in Kumbhalgarh Fort and was raised in Kelwara. This part of Rajasthan is known as Mewar and is very beautiful, hilly and green all round. Banas river makes the land fertile.

Lately many Resorts have mushroomed up here and being in the vicinity of Udaipur attracts tremendous tourism all year round.

Shimla back journey by Train 2012

Leaving for Delhi. What a neat and clean Railway Station this Shimla is! Beautiful Sun-Set as seen from our seat in the train.

Now the scare starts, Harvinder bought a 'Belan' from Lakkar Bazar to add to her already stockpiles of ammunition available. May be Shilpy, from an Army background, could rescue me?
