Exploring the unseen in Rishikesh

Hi guys!

I’m back with another blog.. and this time it’s about my recent visit to Rishikesh.

Rishikesh is a 6-hr road journey from Delhi. This place is known for its spirituality, meditation and yoga amongst the young and the old. But there’s more to this place, like, river rafting, Lakshman Jhula, Trayambakeshwar temple, the cafes and of course, camping!!

So I decided to go for a 1 day trip to Rishikesh since I’d never been there and wanted to explore the place and trust me, those who haven’t been there yet, need to go! One has to be there to believe it.

Once you reach Rishikesh you’ll find lots and lots of tourists, families, friends enjoying this blissful place in the hills. And for Rishikesh you really don’t have to “plan” a trip. For people like me, who live nearby, just need to grab their essentials and are good to go. You get tons and tons of hotels to book and camping places there.

So for my small trip I did not have much time to explore the whole of it so I decided to just wander the local markets, the city around, Lakshman Jhula (Obviously!), and the Ganga Beach Cafe.

In the afternoon, I decided to go the Lakshman Jhula, and also visited the Trayambakeshwar Temple. And while I was at it, I couldn’t take my eyes off this beautiful place. When I read about this temple I found out that this temple was built as an abode of Lord Shiva and is known to be 400 years old. This 13-storeyed temple (also known as Tera Manzil Temple) depicts several idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses in each storey.

The place around this temple was equally mesmerising. The sun falling over the Ganga river beneath the Jhula, the hills covering most of the place. The chilly winds touching your cheeks as you move ahead. It was a breath of fresh of air for me. Remember how I was talking about the “refresh button” in my very first blog? Well, visiting this place was one of it.

In the evening, I had decided to go and have dinner in the famous Ganga Beach Cafe. When I reached there, I got to know why this place was so famous. This cafe is located just below the Lakshman Jhula at the edge of river. The sound of the Ganga river flowing beneath the Lakshman Jhula at night is the best thing! I still can’t get over it.

This was all about my 1 day trip to Rishikesh. I’ll think of going for river rafting and camping when I can plan a longer trip with my friends. Let me know your thoughts about your trip to Rishikesh, if you’ve been there. I’d love to hear more about such places from you guys. Seen you super soon in my next blog.

The weekend life..

Hello chilly world!

It’s the month of February and it’s freezing over here in Delhi.

The warmth of my cozy blanket and the fact that I don’t have to set an alarm to wake up early gives so much relief that I just cannot get out of my bed! The fact that you don’t have to work, or have to see the traffic for the next 2 days is the best feeling.

However, it’s important that you take out time and do things that you simply love to do. As a working woman, I don’t get a lot of time for myself, so, I believe that the weekend is the best time to do what you really want to do. Whether it is reading, watching television, cooking, do yoga/exercise or, being with your family.

For most of the Saturdays, the best antidote to my monotonous life is meeting my graduation friends and talking about all the silly stuff we use to do 3 years back. I have always cherished those days when there were no worries on how we have to build a career, work towards a good life, etc, etc. Life is pretty rough as you know.

On Sundays, I simply lie dead on my bed and watch television. That’s how I am! The “lazy butt” as you may call me but I love being that ways. Cause sometimes you need that therapy after a long week. I do go for a jog in the park nearby my home during the evenings. Help my mom with the dishes in the kitchen sometimes. Watch Netflix. Eat. Sleep a little more. And that’s about it. 😛

I would love to know what your weekend life is all about. Do share the kind of stuff you guys do and I’ll see you soon in my next blog!

Yours typically, me!

The First Post

Namaskar Duniya! (or, Hello World!)

Just like any other blogger in the universe, I also thought of building a blog of my own where I can pour my thoughts and experiences with the world and know about their lives as well.

I am a typical Delhi (“Dilli“, as we call it here) born girl, living with her parents and younger brother who works for the corporate 5 days a week (sometimes during weekends as well) who’s in search of a refresh button from the daily schedule.

For beginners, I will be posting about stuff that I did during the week, something new, something old. Simply the things about my life, and know about yours too!

So, I hope this blog to be the refresh button I’m looking for. I would love to know about your idea of getting out of the typical work-life schedule in your lives.

I’ll keep it short this time! Hope to see you all soon with your idea of the “refresh” button.

Yours typically, me!
