Short Story - How Blue is my Sapphire

Ramesh reaches the Wadi village by 8.00 AM. He travels around 12 hours in last night. In the journey, he did not see any greenery. No water in sight. No proper roads in this area. Lamentation in environment added sourness to his mood. He thought the temperature was soaring due to the summer season. Ramesh is a young news reporter, working for a leading newspaper. He got the new assignment to cover drought story in the rural area. He is not happy with this project. Last night, Ramesh packed his bag and started travelling to the rural area of Marathwada region.

In the journey, clouds of thoughts covered his mind. His career growth was not satisfactory as he planned. Because of his moral values and ethics, his growth is stalled. These values are outdated in today's competitive world. Ramesh knew, he never twists or hides the truth to change impact of the news. He never compromised on ethics. Ramesh never pledges boss or superior for the sake of growth. He did not have any significant finding in his career. Ramesh knew that He tried very hard to be successful. But Ramesh remains at the same position for a long time.

Tatyarao loves ranching and his byre. Bull is his favourite animal. He raised a bull named Sarja like his son. The bond between them is special and famous in the village. There is drought since last three years in Marathwada region of Maharashtra. A below average rain and no crop ruined the life of farmers. Tatyarao seats on the high amount of losses. He borrows money from bank, money lenders and relatives. Even his beloved Sarja mortgaged against the loan. He tried to repay some part of the loan to the money lender. He does not have money to pay last loan portion to the money lender. The installment is approximately Rs.4000.

Tatyarao came to know about Rs.2500 being distributed with freebies for one vote in the by-election around 10.00 AM. He battles with his ethics and values whether he should cast a vote for financial benefits.

Dinkar is a mysterious person and former Member of Parliament. Today is an important day for Dinkar considering that the elections are just around the corner after a couple of days. He manages all kinds of people with ease. His face remains invariably unexpressive. Ten years ago, he had won the election from current constituencies. In the second attempt, he did not succeed. He is trying his luck for the third time for the same seat. In his constituency, a reasonably sizeable number of people have a problem. As a Member of Parliament, he made lots of money in the different scam. He did not take any effort to improve the situation in his term. So He knows that people were fed up with his inactiveness. He also knows that his scams are going to affect him. So he tried to decoy and lure his constituency people with different schemes. He sends senior citizen on the pilgrimage. He donates a good amount of money to an ashram.

Tatyarao’s love for Sarja beats his moral values. At 3.00 PM, Tatyarao went to the place where Dinkar people distribute money. But Tatyarao is afraid to take money. He is pusillanimous to take quick decision and returns from that location. At that time, Ramesh is searching for farmers who were affected by drought. Tatyarao pixilated on the road due to confusion. Ramesh spots Tatyarao on the road. He wanted to have a conversation about the drought effects on crop and farmers.

Tatyarao explains his story and shows that how their lives are severely affected due to drought. Tatyarao mentioned that government declared Rs. 2000 for compensation against last crop losses due to drought. But he got only Rs.500 out of Rs.2000. He had to pay the remaining amount to corrupt officials. Such contrast former Member of Parliament ready to pay him more money against one vote as compared to the government would pay for crop losses.

Ramesh gets the tip from Tatyarao about money distribution. He locates spot from the distance. Ramesh is shocked to know that Ratnakar is the primary person who distributes money for Dinkar at 5.00 PM.

Ratnakar is a middle age man. Ramesh is the son of Ratnakar. But due to their ideological differences, they can't see each other. Ratnakar always thought that his son is a loser and incompetent. Ramesh knows that his father is not a good person to follow.

Ramesh meets Ratnakar at that spot and blasted a flurry of questions to him. Tatyarao listens to their conversation from some distance.

"Why are you distributing money?"

“I work for Dinkar, In fact, I am his right hand. I execute good and bad activities for him.”

"Father, why are you involved in politics?"

"Ramesh that is the long story."

"What happened to your liquor agency?"

Suddenly cold vibes come from Ratnakar.

Ramesh lowered his tone and asked the same question again.

“Son, my liquor agency business was good. When you left home due to our differences, I started to concentrate more on the liquor outlet. I earned a handsome profit, and I was happy with the progress.”

"Ramesh, why you left home?"

"Father, you wanted me to continue our liquor business and discontinue the course of Bachelors in Mass Communication. I did not like liquor business at all. The gap between our ideology differences was wide, and we never take any effort to fill the gap. Each day we fight a lot because of your liquor business issues and complication. You tried each and everything to make your outlet profitable. You never care about people's lives are affected due to that. That is the reason I am against of it.

"If your business was running in profit, then why are you working in politics?"

“Ramesh, with rapid growth other things come to your nest. I entered the club of rich people in this area. Especially Dinkar, with his contacts, I started to venture into other fields. But this success came with a price, and I need to repay it in some form.”

"Father too much greed may ruin a life."

“Son that's correct. Same thing happened with me. In the last election, when Dinkar contested the seat, he asked me to help him in his election campaign. I did so and even supplied alcohol to his campaign to woo people. Eventually, Dinkar lost the last election.”

“It happened as expected.”

“Ramesh, the story does not end here. It triggered the downfall of my business. Dinkar refused to pay the bills for liquor he freely distributed in the election. Some of my decisions went against me. That's the reason there was a crunch of money in my agency. Many people went against me and wanted me to repay their money. Due to the lavish lifestyle, it did not take long for me to become bankrupt and eventually led me to sell out my property.”

"And still you are part of the Dinkar campaign?"

“Yes, that is because I became jobless and I wanted to earn money to survive. Even though Dinkar did not pay the liquor bill, he wanted me to do all his work. Initially, I hesitated but finally agreed to join him as his activist. Gradually I earned his trust and led his campaign. I think he figured out greedy, calculative and proved my mantle in managing people qualities in me.”

“Dad you made a wrong decision and joined the wrong person too.”

“Yes, that is correct Ramesh.”

“Anna, I like to request you, please get out of this politics and help yourself.”

Ratnakar felt emotional after being called as “Anna” by his son. That triggered a guilty feeling within him about his work.

“I want you to tell me all details of Dinkar. His all his activities and his plan to lure people.”

Ratnakar ready to provide all the details of Dinkar properties, campaign details with freebies distribution. He is willing to provide all the evidence. He warns Ramesh that Dinkar will come after both of us. We need to hide until news article published in the newspaper.

Ratnakar needs three to four hours to collect all proofs. At ten, he handed over all the proofs to Ramesh after which he prepared a detailed article on the Dinkar campaign, his assets and his wrong doings.


Dinkar came to know about news reporter arrived into the village and investigating his people about the election campaign. Dinkar started his search to destroy all evidence and stop both of them to avoid further complications. But Ramesh is able to escape from village successfully with the help of farmer. Dinkar gets outraged about this news. He searched Ratnakar and news reporter in every corner of the village.


At midnight, before he left, Ramesh offered some cash to Tatyarao. Tatyarao hesitates first, but he convinces him to take it. Money is not sympathy for Tatyarao but for Sarja to become loan free again. It's kind of fee to help Ratnakar to go underground until tomorrow morning on Tatyarao field for the safety of his father.

News article with the detailed proof published in the newspaper by Ramesh. For the first time in his career, he did get breaking news on his own. Due to this, Dinkar’s application for election got cancelled by the state election commission. At seven, Ratnakar appeared in the police station himself and confessed a series of statements for the numerous crimes, and he undertook for Dinkar. As soon as Ramesh exposed Dinkar, his party distanced themselves from the campaign episode. Dinkar’s career as a politician came to end with this breaking news. Now there was only one choice left for him to surrender himself and confess his crime and scams in the court.
                                                                                                   Tatyarao did not lose his hope and started his work with a renewed vigour. He paid the last installment to free Sarja from the loan. Besides, he needs to repay a significant amount of money, but he has the faith in himself and Sarja for the next year season. Tatyarao feels great as he did not compromise his life values in amid worst condition. Ramesh feels sad because his father will be in prison for a long time. He decided, he will reunite with father after Ratnakar gets out of jail. Ramesh got his first major journalistic breakthrough and looked forward to seeing much more.

Half Win

Today Atharva reached office on time. He greets Narmada in the lobby.

"Narmada, did you prepare the presentation."

"Yes" Narmada replied.

He asks her to add latest product sales figure in the presentation.

Narmada agreed on points.

"Narmada, you have become more productive."
She exchanges the smile with her boss.

She left. She thought that her boss needs the presentation to reach him in the next couple of hours.

She was constantly stunned by the boss for his leadership skill. He knows everything, his staff deliverables, skills, birthdays, events, and he cares about team members. He was a man of moments. Her boss was a genuine leader. The way he communicates any thought to peers or his seniors. That impresses others. It's acted as a confidence booster for his team. Nothing but a halfway mark for any assignment. The remaining half part he carries on his shoulder by distributing work to the right people. He is the right person at the right time at right place. He was an environment-friendly person. Infrequently, his peers call him eco-friendly manager. 

Pratham was the top performer of Vedika's team. Until that time, the relationship between the top managers was all right. But all hell broke loose when Pratham moved from Vedika's to the Atharva's team. Vedika was not happy with this move. She totally relied upon Pratham to keep a healthy relationship with the customer for repeat orders. He procured good business deals for her. Even though it was an internal transfer, his exit from the team was a big shock for Vedika. It created an animosity between Vedika and Atharva. Both of them used to work for the marketing department in the bank.

Pratham described Vedika to his new boss. She was the combination of aggressiveness, greedy, smart, hard work, and talent. She manages all her projects with great speed. Speed and good planning are Vedika's USP. Her team members always try to avoid her anger. She always wants the best performance from staff for an assigned task. In other things, she was smooth to deal. If she plans anything, then she does everything to execute it.

Now Vedika searched a suitable replacement for Pratham from Atharva's team. But she failed to convince anyone from his staff which added fuel to her anger. Atharva tried to avoid to confront Vedika. But she always tried to invoke him into combat. In chess, when two kings are involved in the battle, their knights may engage in oblique moves. They never lose any chance to grab each other's customer base. Sometimes she used Atharva's ideas to impress the senior management. At that time, she used to look at Atharva's face and tried to tease him. But he was such a calm and composed person, he never responded. But sometimes he lost his cool and prepared strategies to counter-attack Vedika. That made him more vulnerable towards Vedika. Now the two were neck and neck to win customers from each other's base for the company.

Company internal politics added fuel to their fight. In a long shot, Atharva always beat Vedika's estimate. Your status will get a big boost when you win against a great competitor. They never waste any single chance to overpower each other. To become successful, they studied a lot and always were ready to take the extra step to get an edge on each other.
Their boss was the only commonality between Atharva and Vedika. Their manager knew techniques to handle this type of situation and always wanted to fetch best possible outcomes from his people. So he never disturbed their egos. Atharva was always busy to plan a counter strategy to beat Vedika.

Unknowingly, Atharva brought home the tensions involved in the office. Business mixed with family can be a deadly combination. Atharva was already knee deep into that. His family suffered a lot due to the stress in his professional world. Especially his wife Chitra was unhappy about it. She needed to support two children and handle her office work. It created differences and lots of tension in their relationship.  Both of them were physically and emotionally drained out due to their clashes. His health took a toll because of constant pressure and lack of any physical exercise. He was unable to spend time with family, and his busy business schedule made it even more challenging. His relationship with family started to strain due to this reason. The once famous person for his ice-cool temperament was now involved in bitter arguments on petty issues.

Chitra was an emotional and demanding person. She worked for the insurance company. She dealt with the office as well the household chores. The primary problem between Chitra and Atharva was a lack of communication. Both of them were busy in their respective jobs and did not spend quality time with each other. That was the reason why their relationship became boring and rotten.

One good thing happened with Atharva. He got a promotion in another department for his outstanding work and practical leadership skills. It made Vedika get out of his working horizon, and his approach got mild towards her. In the corporate world, nobody is your permanent enemy.  Now Atharva was involved directly with the senior management. He could easily influence the management. So Vedika wanted him to forget all ill battles and become friends again.

Initially, he suspected some trap behind this move. But soon he realized that it was mandatory for her to align with the new management. So he did not hold any grudge against her. After a few years, they became good friends. She led a new project for the company, and she was doing well in that. Sometimes Vedika invited the rival-turned-friend to her home for lunch. Her family knew very well about him. On one such occasion, he gifted mango tree samples. Both of them were very excited about their friendship, and they planted it as their symbol of friendship. Sometimes when they met in the office, they discussed the mango tree.

Atharva was on the top of the world for his success. But soon perceived that he was all alone out there. Nobody was there from his family to celebrate his success. That added woes to his existing set of problems. Everybody has an aim in their life. There was none from Atharva's family with whom he could share his accomplishment. Besides, he ignored his health problems.

Suddenly Vedika got the news that Atharva's car collided with a divider on the road. He was admitted to the hospital, and his health degraded steadily. Every morning she prayed for Atharva's well-being. In the hospital, she heard the bitter truth, i.e., Atharva and his wife had arguments over his new trip to overseas. His boss assigned him the new responsibility to look after business in a foreign branch in New Zealand. He wanted to move to the foreign country as soon as possible. But Chitra opposed this idea, and they had a bitter argument on this issue. All these thoughts occupied Atharva's mind while driving the car that collided with divider. This accident resulted in the unfortunate death of all his family members. Former and current associates of Atharva shocked over this incident.

Vedika called the hospital staff, and she received the sad news about Atharva. He died after a week's battle with his injuries. Vedika was very disturbed by this news. Even though she was the former enemy of Atharva, his death was a tremendous loss for her as well as the company. Now she understood that she lost a good human being too. She was unable to bear the loss of a dear friend.

The situation was critical for Vedika. The old hatred for Atharva turned into a feeling that she had lost a part of herself. She held herself responsible for this incident. Her heart was heavy and burdened. She was ashamed of her involvement in the corporate battle. Even though the contest was played a few years ago. She left the battlefield long ago without caring about win or loss. She wanted to repay the loss. As she thought that she was one who started all of the corporate episodes. She wanted to go that extra mile to salute her friend and to repay her debts.

She decided to resign from her current job, and she did it. She faced lots of struggle and competition in all her duties and each role she played. She thought that many people suffered due to the same. Some people lost their cool and argued on small issues which were unnecessary. Some people are unable to handle the complexities of professional assignments. They quit early and face troubles in their lives. Nobody can stop such things, but she decided to help such victims. In life, everybody wants to win, and nobody wants to lose. To become successful, you need to be mentally and physically fit.


Vedika started an NGO, which promotes awareness about healthy stress management and yoga techniques to cope with daily stress people bear in the workplace as well as in family. Narmada also joined an NGO later.

A lot can happen… over company offsite 2014

Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers
My company employees were very excited about the offsite ‘14. The employees were planning about offsite for the last couple of weeks. They were planning about different topics like food, travel, dress, drink, games, etc. On the offsite day 21th Nov 14, I woke up early in the morning and reached Magarpatta City Tower 5 at around 7.08 am. The bus was waiting for passengers. Our bus was going through Hadapsar-Balewadi via Kharadi route. In between there were 10 bus-stops where bus would on-board the passengers. Pune city looks different in morning, no traffic, no pollution and lots of banners. Sometimes I think that Pune is a city of hoardings. Each and every traffic route and major traffic square was overcrowded by political, birthday, or ads banners. The real beauty of the city is lost behind flex boards. Bus was slowly moving away from Pune’s concrete jungle and nearing the greeneries of nature.
We reached Balewadi stadium at 8.30 am. In bus, we had sandwiches and Frooty for breakfast. The movie ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ was being played on TV. We had a tea-break for 20 minutes at Kailash Parbat hotel on highway. Soon after that, we started play Dumb Charades game. It’s an entertaining and fun game. People were having wild guesses for Hindi movie names. Sometime 2-3 people were not able to express a movie name. It’s interesting and lots of fun. In the bus itself, everybody started to plan their own course of entertainment i.e. swimming, dance, party, drink, beach, and games that they would enjoy in the resort.
We reached Radisson-Blu resort Alibaug around 12.30 pm. Hotel staff greets visitors by welcome drink. People were waiting in queue at check-in counter. Reception lobby was very well decorated with flowers, antic pieces, chandelier lamps and bamboo tree artworks. People who got their keys went to their respective rooms to refresh, and then went for lunch in the hotel banquet hall. My number was 62 in wait-list. So I relaxed on sofa and read paper, and magazine in lobby. After getting room keys, Instead of going to room, I preferred to have lunch. I felt refreshed after lunch. The lunch was good.


 














There were 3 games in Offsite group activities 1.Key punch 2. Bulls ring 3. Pipes and marble. All games involved group co-ordination and communication. I liked the second game i.e. bulls rings. 8-10 people needed to balance the ball which was on string and needed to move from one place to another place, and then to another. There were a number of rules. One of the rules was that we should not drop the ball from ring. Two people were blindfolded. It required lots of co-ordination in the team. So we decided one player should provide directives for movements. We achieved this task successfully.
We went to Varsoli beach at 4.30 pm. The road was blocked by a political party who didn’t allowed our bus to go ahead. We had to walk 1.5 km to reach the beach. And still then, our efforts were not that fruitful. The beach did not look good as we expected. Very few people were there. Actually the beach is made up of rocks and is not for swimming. So, all the swimming enthusiasts were disappointed. Nevertheless, watching sunset on the beach was a good experience. In sunset, you can see a range of reddish color from bright to transparent in the sky. The reflection of sunset in sea water looks very beautiful. Water color simultaneously changes with reddish color in sky. It’s a very beautiful view. Guys were playing volleyball on beach. Few people were simply observing sunset. Few were swimming, gossiping on rocks and few were looking for spots to take snaps. 

 


 


 

We returned to hotel at 7.30 pm. Meanwhile I was having a friendly chat with a guy from another team. He is from Pondicherry. It is Union territory of India and the city was ruled by French nationals before independence. Our conversation was s nothing but a small crash course about Pondicherry. He told me that a number of people hold dual citizen ship in Pondicherry. A France passport holder can cast their vote in French election, while being in Pondicherry. In the Tsunami that blew over numerous parts of India and abroad in 2004, the half of Pondicherry was washed away. The foreign NGOs and Government of India helped to rebuild Pondicherry city.

We were super excited for the dance party. Everyone was ready to rock the floor. A few were watching dance moves with a glass of beer in their hands. A few were rocking the dance floor. Few people were missing from party and they were having their own party. The DJ was good. He mostly played party and Bollywood songs, with a pretty mix of both old and new genres. People went crazy on dance floor on hit Bollywood songs. A few were sweating from head to toe after rocking dance floor. The party ended at 11.30 pm after a note of thanks for the Admin guys. Dinner followed.

Next morning, I woke up at 7.30 am. We went to swimming pool and played volleyball. That’s a complete fun and entertaining game. We had lunch at around 1.00 pm. People started to be in mood of reaching home early. Guys who came with their own vehicles, left early before lunch. When we were having lunch, some of them even reached their homes. Return journey started at 2.30 pm. Due to heavy lunch, few guys started sleeping. Few were watching the Hindi movie ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ again, which we continue from the leftover point in our previous day journey. I had watched this movie 4-5 times. But again enjoyed a lot because of the funny dialogues. I read somewhere, this movie was not successful at the time of release. But got cult status due to famous dialogues. We had our tea-break at Kailash Parbat hotel. We were at Wakad at around 5.30 pm. Due to Pune traffic, Bus took 2 hours more to reach Magarpatta City. Finally I reached home around 8.00 pm
.

 


 

Travelogue on Goa Offsite 2015

First Time in the history of my company we had the survey to decide the offsite location. And unanimously we selected Goa option inthe survey. I think 100% employees selected this option. From the starting of July month, in each and every office chat corner people discussed about an offsite destination. But we got very excited when we heard announcement of Goa declared as offsite destination. Announcement caused quite a stir in company employees.

Offsite trip to Goa was planned in 2 batches. As soon as the date was declared, people started the discussion on the mode of transport. Our group investigated all modes of transport. They found out the pros and cons of all modes of transport in the debate. We wanted to keep our options open, by road (car, company bus), train, and flight. But all options stink. Few people reserved train ticket before Offsite Survey. People held their horses! We needed to get the confirmation of Offsite Survey registration first! Our team was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 11.30 am on survey day. Survey opened at 11.30 am and at 11.33 am batch1 was completely full. Few people who were in team meeting got disappointed because they were not on their seat to attend survey.

Goa offsite trailer was launched with a super-duper response. Then people were eager to see full-fledged offsite. Meanwhile one of the airlines opened a big air ticket sale. Few of my friend bought a discounted sale ticket and then they had both flight as well as the train ticket. Official trip was 3 day long. Some people booked a flight ticket. They will get 5 days to enjoy the trip.

Finally long awaited day arrived for which we planned from last 2 months. On 9th Oct 15 I woke up at 3.48 am in morning. No sign of rain in early morning. I could easily commute to office on my bike to catch Offsite bus. I reach offsite bus at 4.59 am, 1 min before scheduled departure. But lots of people yet to come. Admin team called each one of us to reach bus on scheduled time. Offsite bus departed at 5.24 am toward Fatima nagar -> swargate -> karve nagar -> kothrud -> katraj route. I listened “Mitti Di Khushboo” song on en route. Song sung by multi-talented “Ayushmann Khurrana” in one of his single. One of stanza from song meaning is “Once listen to my voice fulfil my desire, wish”. Second bus merged with Volvo at 6.25 am. After that we had attendance in bus. It reminds me of my school days.

On Satara Road




After few minutes we had a small break on Satara highway for snacks. Admin team provided us neatly packed box of snacks. Around 10.00 am we had tea break at Hotel Sai International on journey. After tea break its time to watch movie. Mahesh bought lots of movie CD’s. All of us decided to watch classic family comedy film “Chup Chup Ke” starring Dharmendra and Sharmila Tagore. We enjoyed this film quite a lot. Genuine Comedy film started to entertain public from 1st frame. Meanwhile we had lunch break at Minerva hotel. After lunch we watch another classic Golmal starring Amol Palekar. We reach Goa hotel at 5.40 pm.

Tea-Break at Hotel Sai International

 

Lunch At Hotel Minerva

Hotel Whispering Palm Beach Resort, Goa




Refreshed in 2 minute in hotel room and I walk to Candolim beach which is next to hotel. Sunset view was amazing. Capture few snaps. Sky has only 3 colours i.e. light reddish sun, white sky and clouds greyish colour. It looks beautiful. The clouds boasted mystical colors. I forgot 12 hour journey stress after beautiful sunset. The sun was already dipping behind the horizon, but the daylight still lingered in the air as though, accidentally left behind. We reach hotel at 7.15 pm and it’s time to party. We came to dance floor 8.00 pm. We rocked the dance floor. Even though it was small as compare to last year offsite dance floor. Few people dance till the end including me. Old is gold. We enjoyed old song with same enthusiasm for latest numbers. Few of my friend sweated from head to toe at end of dance party. We had dinner after long tiring dance exercise. Finally long day came to an end at 12.35 am.

Candolim Beach Sunset













Our day trip guide was Girish on 10th Oct. We started our day trip around 10.00 am. No sign of rain… pleasant atmosphere… small roads… less traffic… was along the coastal line… 10 friend rented 5 bikes… crazy group leader cum guide… walking on the air… we hit the road by crushing air… Again long day came across us. We went to Dona Paula beach first. Few of my friends went to shopping. I advance toward Dona Paula statue and hill. Beautiful view of Goa seen from top of Dona Paula hill. Few of scene from famous Singham movie picturized on this location. We went to Miramar beach to take boat ride in sea for Dolphins. That ship has not sailed due to high tide in sea unfortunately.




























At Dona Paula Beach
 





At Bom Jesus Church







We had lunch in RioRico hotel. We swallowed local Goan cuisine in hotel. Meanwhile my friend taste flavored wine. We buy cashewnuts from local shop. Goa produces cashew in large scale. 3 things cashew, beer and petrol are cheaper in Goa as compare to my state. Few of my friend bought cashewnuts as well as beer. We already refilled petrol on pump. We travelled toward Bom Jesus church. Also visited small museum in church. After some rest we hit Calangute beach. It’s very crowded beach. Again mesmerizing sunset welcomed us. We had dinner in hotel. I hit the bed at 11.30 pm and beautiful day came to end.

At RioRico Hotel






At Calangute Beach










Before return journey we had a heavy breakfast. Bus started return journey at 9.11 am in morning. Its movie time again. We watched two and half films on return journey. “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”, “3 Idiots” and half part of classic “Khatta Mitha” films. Famous actor Amir Khan is part of 3 Idiots film. Film stands 5th highest grosser of all the time on box office. We had 3-4 small break in journey. We had lunch at CountrySide restaurant in Kankavli. I loved Gaganbawda ghat section journey. Lots of ups and down in ghat reminds me of our low and high of life. After tiring approx. 14 hour long return journey, finally I reached the home at 11.30 pm in night with wonderful memories of Goa Offsite.

Amarnath Yatra - Sacred Journey

Planning and Initial phase of Journey.... Since the year 2011, my family was discussing for a trip to Amarnath and Vaishnodevi Pilgrim...
