Back to Indira Gandhi International

The ticket has been booked and my train upon Prayag Raj express has beed bought, and it seems that i will once again be making my way to Indira Gandhi International. That makes my second trip in less then then a year. Well as my aunty has informed me , i am a seasoned traveler to india and need to cheperon her around( i am going wth my dad, aunty , grandmum and 2 other ppl). Well India to some of you all may bring to mind Poverty and filth( and to ppl wth this mentality please jump down a cliff) and to some an exotic distant land (even tough its around 5 hours plane ride away ..haha) but for me, its is a quasi-home like place.

Well the itenary is somewhat like this on the 28 i will take the 9 am indian airlines flight to delhi and should reach arnd 1230 pm local time. Then we will go for some shopping and take the 9.00 pm prayag raj express train to Allahabad. We wil reach there around 7 am in the morning of the 29th. From there my aunty who lves there will pick us up and bring us over to her place and from there to Prayag... For those of you who do not know, Prayag is the ancient name of allahabad before the the muslims came, plundered and well , u get the pic. Prayag or holy merge is the name for where three of indias sacredest rivers ( Ganga Yamuna Saraswati) confluence with each other forming onegreat Ganga a.k.a Ganges river. It is a holy place for hindus and apparemtly the 29th is a very auspicious day to take a bath in the river. After that on the 29th out family friends driver from the village will come to allahabed ad pick us up to go to the village. We will leave at arnd 12 midnight to avoid traffic(Kiaso mentality of my dad) and doing that greatly increases our chance of getting caught in the winter fog and dying(apparently my dad overlooked that..haha). Anyway by the 30th of Jan i will be in my Village where water has to be pumped from a well and electricity comes and goes. ON the 1st of feb my dad has some prayers to do and on the 9th we will leave to tour india. From thre 9th of feb onwards onwards i do not know what the itenary is , so i will inform you of it at a later date...I however do know that on the 20th we have to be back at the village for my abnoxious cousins wedding and on the 23 is my return ticket to singapore. And after which i ave about 2-3 days till mY REULTS COME OUT!!!!
