Hello everyone
After a long break-busy schedule I am here. Actually I couldn't manage myself to come here due to my hectic intern schedule (9 to 6). But last weekend has given both topic and time to me for coming here. Last week I have been a part of small trip to Somnath and Dwarka. As during 2nd year intern I was also in Gujarat but I couldn't find any accompany to go there. Now this time I did it pretty well. As a matter of fact I never miss any chance to suffer in SUFFER (trip).I love to make plans for trip and execute them very well also. In last May also I was called by Vaishno devi and Manali-Shimla and by many more and that was immaculate and first trip with friends. Now at this time I was called by Somnath baba and Dwarkadhish.
The appointments with God Shiva and Krishna were fixed on last sat & sun day. So we organized a meeting of our Planning Committee (3 friends). I and Siddharth passed this agreement in the very first session of meeting but our undaunted 3rd panel (Nikhil) didn't pass it. But as in our country 2/3rd majority is enough to pass any bill or agenda, we PASSED it by booking only two tickets to Somnath. But on Friday our 3rd panel also booked ticket to Somnath. After facing so many transportation problems on Friday, finally I appeared at the bus stand. Our bus time was 9.30PM and it was private, we thought that it would be on time. But it came after a filmy interval at 11.00 PM. After a tiny public private conversation in Hindi and Gujarati with bus conductor, we were allowed to take the seats. It took almost 12 hours to reach the destination.
First time in my life, I saw the coastal farmer’s fields. In our Rajasthan we have almost 10 to 20 trees at random positions in the field and we also have a well defined boundary made of soil or barbed wire but in this region they don’t have any trees in mid of the field and they have coconut and banana trees for fencing. Their agriculture system is based on farming method.
Almost 11.30AM we arrived at the Somnath. Somnath is basically a small village which has turned into a small town due to having an eminent temple. It is situated on the coast of the Veraval Dariya (Arabian Sea). It is the first Jyotirlinga among the 12 Jyotirlinga. After taking a wonderful AARTI DARSHAN, we moved towards the beach to do some adventures. But we were failed by a police guard. Here they don’t allow visitors to go near or into the sea water. But at last somehow we took some good pics of us near the sea. Meanwhile we were also welcomed by an awesome rain.
After Somnath we step up to Dwarka. Here in path to Dwarka we were witnessed of wind mills, awesome beach cum highway, coconut farms, a bus stand without any bus & passenger and a kathiyawadi dhaba. After a long tired journey we reached Dwarka at 12.00AM. At this time there were only five persons (we & bus driver and conductor) who were not in slumber. After hiring a CNG auto we travelled in and around the city for a hotel room but almost 10 hotel owners welcomed us with a Full House Banner. At last hotel Aadhunik gave a 2 seated room. At that time I recalled the Gabbar’s dialogue – kitne aadmi the -3 or bed – 2, phir bhi tum wahan ruk gaye. Kya kare sardar majburi jo thi. Next day we took a fresh start and went to temple at 6AM. Normally at that day there were fewer appointments as compare to other day, so we made it very quickly. Basically there are two Dwarka temples one is known as Dwarka and second is Bet Dwarka which is situated in Sea. After taking a local bus we visited this one also. It was my first ride on Sea boat. At last we went sun set point, Gomti ghat and Nageshwar temple (Jyotirlinga). Then an enjoyment cum suffer journey ended at Vadodara. At last I want to give a thanx from my deep heart to God Shiva and Krishna to call me their home.
