A very unplanned trip to Agra turned out to be pretty eventful. Having considered lot many people to join in, it actually ended up with only two of us die hard travelers to go on our own. Firstly, not getting on the spot tickets of train to Agra, I got into a tourist bus, that had its entire plan of the Agra-Mathura-Vrindavan trip pre-planned. Here is a short picture story. First encounter is this huge Agra Fort which took three Mughal generations to build up. And we are allowed to see only 1/3rd of it! Right in front of the fort is this hurriedly clicked, statue of Ch.

Here is the festival of Dahi-Handi, celebrated as a birthday of hindu god Lord Krishna. Some dudes here called it Yogurt Pot festival for a change.

Of course we were not part of the dance. The huge crowd right in the middle of a crossroad and the entire traffic had been diverted, but still we were less bothered about going home before the end of game happened. Although they had to lower the height of Dahi-Handi (the pot they are suppose to break to steal the Curd/yogurt inside) since none of the crew had enough man power to reach up to the original height, it was still a game of huge physical expertise and skills. The dudes rocked it in their first intended attempt without a single mistake or hassle.

This can be called " do takke ki shaayari" but really I enjoyed it: kehte hai ishq me neend ud jaatii hai kaash humse bhi koi mohobbat kare kambakht neend bohot aati hai.. There are few more of this kind in this movie.. but some of them(mostly borrowed from reputed shaayars) are really good. See this, insaan ki khwaahish ki bhi koi hudd nahi, do gaz zamin chaahiye, ..do gaz kafan ke baad. One more, masjid me sharaab pine de ghalib, ya wo jagah bataa, jahaa khuda na ho
