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. Shivaji Maharaj. Aurangzeb would have never thought that once his prisoner, Shivaji, who made a great escape from this mighty fort would be standing as a proud statue in front of the fort itself! Then there are several huge and beautiful buildings inside the fort. Notice the Taj Mahal in background. This must be the only view for Shah Jahan himself for his last seven years spent imprisoned here :( . Taking the Hot Seats...

We didn't have a great camera and skills with us but clicked every moment that looked interesting and worth saving. Here I have uploaded few pics taken from either Pravin's digicam or my cellphone cam. Lookout for ones that are tagged with ' fossin2008 '. Apart from foss.in, there are few taken while wandering around in the city of Bangaluru. There are few more, but they would better fit in my orkut profile. cheers :)

Its been really long time I posted anything. Really running outta time now.. especially there's no time for blogging when you have enough faith in personal interactions. But taking out some of my usually invaluable time.. This is what rocked my weekend this time. A mansoon trek with a specical guest and few of the colleages cum friends. We went to see Bhaje caves and Lohgad near Lonavala with our Guest Sarah on the day when Sun had bad times with clouds. Although it was my easiest trek so far, it was one of the most enjoyed one. And really worth mentioning fact that I didn't fall for a single time ;-). There was a hard time when we had to hold each other against the awefully strong and slapping wind and that too when we three, only three, Ankit, me and Maku were on the edgemost point of the mountain, and nobody could see us due to clouds between, a real deadend. There is lot more to talk on this and few really good moments that came along with Sarah.. I wish she comes back soon...
