The much-awaited trip is here that too on the day filled with "colours", wherein I went to the colourful state "Rajasthan" on the day of ”Holi". There was something special about this trip as I went with some group of people whom I didn't know & meeting them for the 1st time in my life. Sounds strange as when you don't know someone then how will you enjoy π with them. But it was a trip to remember.
The trip starts like this, as in I reached the old Delhi railway station via Delhi metro was searching the group leader Mr. Arun who was as thin as a stick I meet him at the sideline of the station, he was the joint owner of the company "TripRoadie" as they call it. My logo to it is π€πΌ in my blog.
Trip Roadie Alien's Gang - March 2018 |
I was in my decathlon "khaki" blue Capri with my marvelous red backpack bag, whose string was tied to my decathlon sleeping bag which really proved me as a traveller but to some people, it would look funny π. I meet some bunch of people of the group who were bankers, HRs,analyst,tester, or developers you could see people from all walks of profession who came together.
When everyone introduced eachother I started with my earlier profession of Tata & Aviation which always makes other people's action "oh" is it , & make them amazed & proud to what I use to do back in IAF. I use to end by saying I am looking for a switch in IT . But I really used to steal the show. Our journey started well on time & our seats were in the sleeper class of the train, but I was told that my ticket was in RAC as I booked the ticket 1 day before. So I was sitting as Mr. Vinnet rather than my real name, to which Mr. Arun told" you just be relaxed when TC comes don't become afraid just relax", I was like wtf is happening & I just nodded my head to him. He told another person of our group member Mr. Krishna a South Indian guy from Combiture to show the ticket to TC. Krishna was of my age, I as usual started interacting with him & he was like you just shut up ”don't piss me off” but I wanted to share what I had in my mind. I came to know that Mr. Krishna was working with Microsoft but had late working hours & as always he too was not happy with his job as he doesn't like to stay in north India & wanted to go back to South India but had no opportunity. As it is a saying that "nobody is happy with whatever he/she is presently doing or having”.Chalo lets move on, so there were a variety of people, one of them was Mr. Kanav a Punjabi Munda from Ambala, a Punjabi ascent guy who never liked a south Indian guy around but both were comfortable with me. If you listen to Kanav's English when he speaks, there was no fluency but who cares as this guy works with Nagarro an MNC firm as a software tester earning a handsome salary.
Here I am sharing some pictures of the trip.
Aliens Turned Friends |
Looks amazing right no second thought, but my real motto during the trip was meeting people to get my CV forwarded in a reputed organization.
There was a girl with a very good career experience but being unemployed from last 2-3months and being a chill person and joining this trip was even a thing to talk about. This was a learning factor for all. As it says trips are amazing if you get some like minded people, so now the Aliens π½ were turned into friends. So everyone had something or the other on the trip.

Our trip was from Del-Jodh-Jaisalmer-Jodh-Del ...!! Though I really had a wonderful time seeing Rajasthan through Jaisalmer.
But when I saw the desert πͺ it was so lovely to see it, at the same time I could remember the snow at the beautiful hill top in Kaza, sea at goa & now desert in Rajasthan was just an incredible experience..!! As the desert view looked astonishing in all the places I had been, nature at its best.
Jaisalmer Fort - March 2018 |
While at Jaisalmer fort the view from the fort to the city was eye catching, it looked as if at night from the reflection of the moon π the city comes alive. The people of Rajasthan were so generous by nature which made them extraordinary, they folded hands while greeting & wish us Ram Ram Sa to come again. I must say for ₹6000 for the weekend trip was full "paisa wasool" looking forward for more trips like this. Thanks to Tripπ€πΌ.. Keep Reading & Exploring...!!
