Day3,4
theme - a seven day blogging challenge is “7 states I traveled”
(Part1).
Write-tribe has given such a miraculous challenge that my thoughts are becoming
endless. I want to write everyday something different. Before I post
any article, there have had many things already messed up in my mind
to write about.
After
posting by 7 Colors and 7 Nuclear plants, my mind is itinerating like
a cycle. Somehow i have manged to opt day3 theme to make you all
stroller like me.
I
am nympholept for traveling and never bothers to make group or to
search companions before I peruse for rambling.
7
States I traveled in India: Read it thoroughly, you might get few
interesting fact about me and who knows it may remind your native
place! It can actually be detailed article so I have divided this
theme in two parts.
Part1
UttarPradesh
Where
I born, brought-up, studied and made my life visible. When I had
first join college in Greater Noida, everyone easily recognized me as
a UP girl because we have shahi andaaz. We speak in humble manner,
prefix “hum” inspite of “mein”.
Kanpur
is my native place and I
am a proud kanpurian.
The largest city of UP and was origanlly known as 'Kanhpur'.

The Holy Ganga: Varanasi |
UP
is famous for education(IIT-K, KGMC-top medical college,
HBTI-Kanpur), Holy places (Ganga, Sangam rivers in Allahabad,
Varanasi), One of the 7 wonders(The Taj Mahal- Agra), Kanpur leather
industries, Banarasi saree and pan, world famous mithai wala (Thaggu
ke ladoo-Kanpur), Lord krishna`s (Virindavan, Mathura) and Lord
Rama`s birth place (Ayodhya), and many many more.
I
am fortunate to roved many cities in U.P.
KANPUR,
LUCKNOW, AGRA, Vrindavan, Mathura, Meerut, Allahabad, Jhansi, Bithoor,
Fatehpur, Bareilly.
Delhi,
NCR(National Capital Reagion)
Though Noida is
associated in U.P., I consider this as my second native place (in
NCR) where I have been living more than 10 years now.
“Saddi
dilli” sounds better than New-Delhi, is much known for high class
rich punjabis and street food. My mother is from delhi and my all
relatives stays there. Very obvious every weekend you can find me gad
about different places in Delhi. I can never explain if I ever have
to leave NCR, how would I react, express and pour out my real love. I may silently cry, I may hide my inner-pain, I may get
disquietness in living far from family and friends, I may irate,
iritate and may get the sign of low living spirits. I really do not
know what would happen, the only thing I can sense is “I am so
attached and love Delhi, NCR.”
Delhi is the fourth
largest city in the world, second most populous city after Mumbai and
largest in terms of area. Delhi replaced Kolkata as the New capital
of India.
NCR (National Capital
Region) includes neighnouring cities as
Gurgaon, Sonepat, faridabad, Mewat, Rohtak, Rewari, Jhajjar, Panipat, Palwal (Haryana)
Gurgaon, Sonepat, faridabad, Mewat, Rohtak, Rewari, Jhajjar, Panipat, Palwal (Haryana)
Baghpat, Ghaziabad,
Noida, Greater- Noida, Meerut, Bulandsheher (U.P.)
Bhiwadi (Rajhasthan)
I have covered almost
part in NCR except Bhiwadi, Baghpat, Rohtak and Jhajjar.
Delhi is famous for
everything you wish for: Shopping markets,street-food, tourist
places,Top education (IIT- Delhi,Delhi university, FMS, DCE), grand
shopping malls (including NCR) and many more. The only serious matter
I am concerned for Delhi/NCR is security for girls/women where the
National capital is somewhere depreciating its charm in the country.
AndhraPradesh
Hyderabad (A.P.) from
where my daddy belongs to. Usualy people ask me from which region I
belong in Punjab because I am sikh. They actually feel a sudden jolt
when I say my daddy is from Andhra, my mommy is from Delhi and I born
and brought in UP.
Ohh really! Then it
must be a love marriage. Kool yaar! This is what they revert.
I don`t know about love
or arranged. They are happily married since 38 years and yeah now we
are four siblings.Ofcourse without love and attachment it could not
be posssible! My simple common response to all.
Let me cover the city
Hyderabad. The only city in Andhra I had wander when I probably very
little girl to roam alone. All the stories about this royal city I
have heard from daddy only.

Charminar: Hyderabad |
Once
upon a time in Hyderabad:
Red
chilli famous pickle, Idli-Sambhar and vada(My favourite), Charminar
(signataure of the city like Eiffel tower in paris ), Hazur Saheb
Gurudwara (Few kms far from the city), Shahi tombs, Birla
Mandir
(Venkateswara Temple), Museums, ancient forts, Hussainsagar
and Osmansagar Lake, Mahavir Harina Vanasthali National Park. My
daddy has been setteled long time back in UP so it is not often we
visit AP.I have a strong will to roam once again in Hyderabad.
West
Benagal
(Kolkata a city in WB, I had visited for an official tour)
Kolkata (formly known
as Calcutta) is a city of joy, calmness, fun-loving, full of humble
people, famous for fishes (I am pure Vegie. btw), different sweets
and rashgulas (loved it), silk-sarees, Lakes, british-ancient buildings
and namy more.
Places I have seen in a
single free weekend:
- Writer`s Building
- Howrah bridge
- Victoria Memorial
- Indian Museum
- New market
- Park Street
- had different type of sweets(Saundesh)
- Lakes
- Beaches (Mandarmani, Digha)
