A Tour For Attending Conference

The aim was to attend a conference that was organized at the Department of Physics, BHU, Varanasi. Me and one of my best friend, Harsh, took the opportunity to have a visit to one of the seven wonders of the world,  Tajmahal, Agra, whis is very near to Varanashi. And since Agra is very close to his home and his home is close to Jaipur, we finally decided to visit all this places. And finally we had tour to Delhi, Varanashi, Agra, Baran (Home town of Harsh), Kota, and Jaipur. This was a really long tour of 12 days including the conference. We traveled more than 7000 km and spent 7 night in train. But these places were so beautiful that we never tired.
As there were no direct train for Varanashi from Bangalore, we had to go via Delhi. This was my first travel through Rajdhani express and that was really a good experience in terms of food they served, service, punctuality. The train reached Delhi sharply at the scheduled time. Now we had 6 hr in our hand and we decided to visit Red Fort. But it was closed due to security reason, as 15'th August celebration was ahead. But we visited the Jama Masjid near to Redfort. That was also very nice place. Have a look at the pics.

Now at Varanashi. We reached BHU at 2:00 O'Clock at night, but we were warmly welcomed by the IT Guest House staff, where our lodging were arranged. I am really impressed by there hospitality and service. The room were well decorated with modern equipment, clean and well maintained. The campus of BHU is also nice place. The building were really nice. Whole campus is filled with greenaris. There was a temple inside the campus also. Where a lots of people come, from outside, every day. But unfortunately we don't have any photograph of that temple.

After Varanashi we went to Agra to view Tajmahal. Tajmahal is one of the seven wonders of world. And so I dont have to say any thing about Tajmahal.  We also visited to Agra fort. This is, you can say, twin of Redfort, Delhi. This is also a world heritage site.  Also the view of Tajmahal from Agra Fort was awesome.

From Agra we move towards Baran. This is the home town of Harsh (one of my best friend). This is a small but very nice town. It is surrounded by very beautiful land scape.

Now at Kota. This is the place where we took the train for Jaipur. We also visited to Harsh's uncle's house. And since we had some time we went to visit some park and mandir (temple) at Kota. We visited the Chambal garden, a really great park. We enjoyed boating here. This was my first experience of boating with motorized boat. Then we visited to temple of god siva, that was also very nice place to visit.

Now the last point of our journey, Jaipur. Out of all the places we visited, we spend maximum time at Jaipur. We were staying in MNIT hostel with one Harsh's friend. The location of the MNIT is also very beautiful. We almost visited all the main tourist spot at Jaipur. Like Jaigarh Fort, Amber Palace, Nahargarh Fort, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Albert Hall, Birla Mandir and Hawa Mahal.
Jaigarh Fort and Amber Palace are one of the most famous fort in India. This fort's security was so tight that no one ever dare to attacked to this fort. This was build at the top of hills near Jaipur at Amber. This is also the home of the largest canon on while in the world Jaivana.

Nahargarh Fort is another fort adjacent to Jaigarh Fort. We can view whole Jaipur from this fort. This views are really breathe taking and awesome.

The other places at Jaipur are also very good. City palace is very well decorated and the design at the wall and doors are excellent. The Birla mandir is very nice place to spend some time. Jantar mantar which is one of the very early observatory is a world heritage site. And Hawa mahal, its outside decoration is great.

At last I want to say this tour was really unforgettable experience for me. In spite of scorching hot I really enjoyed the tour. It is like a life time opportunity to visit this places. I am really thank full to harsh and his  friends for bing with me there.
Thanks

PDA Treasure Hunt 2010

New academic session has started. Lots of new students are coming to the institute. It's time to welcome them to there new place. The physics department of IISc is one of the biggest department of the IISc, there are more than 170 students in this department. So it is obvious that we will not be behind to any one to welcome our new new friends. Our physics departmental association(PDA) every year organizes various program to welcome freshers. Treasure Hunt is one of such program.
This is actually a game to have some fun together with all student. The organizers hide some thing (some cash prize "Treasure" ) to some place in the department. We (the player ) have to find that "treasure" using clues given by them. We have to make team of 4 people. They will give there first clue in front of the all team together. It will indicate some place where there will be next clue. We have to crack the clue and find out the place and have to get the next clue which will indicate the place of next clue. And this way you will find clues one by one which will finally lead to the place where there will be final clue and final clue leads to the place where the "treasure" is hidden. The team which will crack all clues first and will get the treasure will be the winner and will have the cash prize that will be there as "treasure". There will be lots of fake clue will confuse you. This make it difficult to find the "treasure"
This is not the end. Generally the wining team throws a party to all students present there, we all together go there and enjoy. So no matter who wins, the game ends with a lots of joy and fun. Which gives a break to us from our regular boring life. And we all students wait for this kind of programs every year.
This year it was organized at 27'th of Aug 2010, Friday from 9:45 pm and ends at around  2 am. The organizers were Nirmal, Ananyo, and Rahul. And the winner team were Saintan, Arnab, Sayak and Chanchal. It was a really great fun
