 Wondrous Flashes That I seized.


From childhood onwards, I was affectionate of roaming and just feeling nature. As nature is the most beautiful Jewell of Earth, my only dream is to visit every place on the earth. In my early childhood, my parents use to take me along with them. That was the time when I started loving nature. 

When I was 15, I went to my 1st tour at Aurangabad. Aurangabad is a city in the Indian state Maharashtra where Aurangabad is the fourth-most populous urban area in Maharashtra. We went to Aurangabad by road and fortunately, I got my favorite seat i.e. window seat. I enjoyed the journey though and I reached my destination. There were multiple places to visit but as it was a school camp, most of the time we were busy in competitions, projects, etc. It was a 4-day camp where only 1 day was allocated for site seeing. I saw Bibi Ka Maqbara a replication of the Taj Mahal and for this reason, it is also known as "Taj of the Deccan". Then I went to Ajanta Caves and Daulatabad Fort. As I was small, I was not having any camera or mobile to capture some pictures, and thus I returned taking notable memories with me.

In 2017, I went to Chandigarh - Kullu - Manali - Amritsar. It was 9 days Industrial Visit (IV) through college. First, I went to Rose Gardens and then went to the Hotel room. The next day was the Industrial Visit Day where we visited S.A.S.I.I.T., Mohali. Then I went to Rock Gardens and Sukhna Lake. The next day I was in Manali, a beautiful town in Beas River valley, District Kullu. When I was on the bus the streets were full of snow and the buses coming from Manali were covered by snow.

My hotel manager told me to stay in the hotel as there was heavy snowfall and he said that it was the heaviest in the past 20 years. So it was the sad news for me because all the Valley's and Pass's were closed with heavy Military Protection. The temperature that night I recorded was -12 Degrees. The next day I got the good news that I can move out of my hotel room so I went to Hidimba Temple and then left Manali and went to Kullu for river rafting. The next day I went to Amritsar and visited Jallianwala Bagh and Golden Temple. Also, I had a special Patiyala style Lassi. The most Patriotic moment was when I went to Wagha Border at the time of closing the gate. The true enthusiasm was watching our army at the border.

In 2018, I went to Jodhpur-Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, also known as "Land of Kings" and it comprises most of the part in the Thar Desert also known as "The Great Indian Desert". First, I went to Jodhpur and visited Mehrangarh Fort which is one of the largest forts in India. There were many ancient objects placed in the fort including war materials like a sword, shield, Dresses, etc. Also, I visited Machia Biological Park where I saw many animals, birds, and flower trees. I also visited places like Mandore Garden, Kalyana Lake, and left for Jaisalmer. Jaisalmer was a Desert area where there were Desert Camps and mine was Rajputana Desart camp. I went for Camel Ride and I saw the India-Pakistan border there during sunrise and then went to Jeep Ride in the evening to see the sunset. I stayed overnight in the camp and then came back to the city and visited places like Jaisalmer War Museum, Jaisalmer Fort, Patwon Ki Haveliyan, and then came back home safely.

These were some places that visited out of Maharashtra. My life is not a long holiday but multiple small trips that make me refreshing. I have also been to Mumbai, Alibagh, Lonavala, Karla, Pali, Pune, Nashik, Trambakeshwar, Tamhini Ghat, Lohagad Fort, Mysore, etc. I am fond of photography as I love to seize the moments in my mind as well as in my phone so that when I can feel that nostalgia whenever I am free. If you are on Instagram please do check my photography page named "__captured._.moments.__". I love visiting new places but due to lockdown I am stuck at my home but for sure I will complete my dream of visiting every place.
