Lucknow - the city of Maze

Lucknow – The Bhubulaiyan city. The year was 1977 and we had an inter college sports event at Allahabad (UP). Those days train seat/berth reservation process was manual and almost everyone was at the mercy of the guy on the other side of the window. We were coming back in an unreserved compartment from Allahabad to Lucknow where we expected to manage reservations and catch a superfast train. We had 10 hours at our disposal in Lucknow. The Maze, Bhulbulaiya,in Asafi Imambara What to do in there in ten hours? Bhulbulaiyan was decided with one voice (we were three lads with one teacher). Off we three were to Bara Imambara and straight to the maze (or labyrinth as it is written there on the board) leaving the teacher behind to manage the reservation of berths in the evening train. The guides at the Imambara were after our money but we were bubbling with youth and confidence and there was no question of obliging them. “You will get lost, boys, and plead with us to take you out of the

A Visit to Bihar

After taking two jabs and emboldened by the ebbing wave I de

Meghalaya – A story of dry waterfalls.

Meghalaya – A story of dry waterfalls. Close on the heels of my Gujarat trip that I completed on 17 Feb 2021, I embarked upon another one starting 27 Feb, this time to the northeast. The places on the bucket list were Guwahati, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh. However, after doing Meghalaya; mainly the eastern (Khasi) part of it; I had to cut short in the wake of some urgency back home. Arunachal and many other parts of the northeast remain on a priority though, as they say, there always is a next time. Cherrapunji waterfalls The state has many things to its credit. Beautiful hills and valleys, clean environment, the cleanest village in Asia - Mawlynnong, the clean and crystal clear river Dawki, and the wettest place on the earth – Cherrapunji; all make the state numero uno in the shining feats of Nature. Cherrapunji, also called Sohra, records lots of rainfall around the year as a result the waterfalls are always brimming with water. However, not this year. As I witnessed
