Delhi Darshan ! (Akshardham)

Its been almost a year and half I am in NCR but I did not get a chance for Delhi Darshan.So finally we have decided to visit Delhi and near by as much as possible.It was a clear sunny day. We started for Akshardham.It took 2 hours for us to reach Akshardham via Metro.

Long travel in metro
We reached Akshardham Metro Station by 3:30pm and it was more taxing for Shukla ji as he lost his metro token....hahhaha! So after paying a fine of 80 Rs he finally decided to take a metro card :)) and then we moved on to he temple.Akshardham is a unique and divine creation. As soon as you enter this mind-blowing monument you will feel peaceful but the worst part is you wont carry cellphones, Camera any other electronic device either a pen and paper :P.There is an almost amusement park vibe to this place but the culmination of the boat ride, which takes you through a history of India.

View from Sanskriti Vihar
They played a movies which help you understand better Bhagwan Swaminarayan.It has got many other exhibits and gardens and finally the breathtaking fountain show.I remember one line from the short movie at Nilkanth Yatra- meine jab ghar choda, Bhay ne muje choda :)

Fountain Show
And finally we headed back.
The Best part about this trip was I met Hathi in metro.Surprised ?
hahahha!!
yeah, Hathi that's the name of my bro's friend Utkarsh Rawat, I never thought I will meet him after 6 years like that. :))) while coming from Karol Bhag to Gurgaon our Cab got puncture, the driver was all set to change the tier and finally he realised that the stepny is also punctured then he smiled and said: koi na madam ye tubeless tier hai mein aapko Gurgaon pahucha dunga. hahah! then after max 10 min.The Innova was running on the RIM.


finally we had to board another Taxi and we reached home late :( but had lots of fun visiting Akshardham.
