Agra ka raasta kya hai?

The greatest moments happen just by chance, they say!!  And i can vouch for that. 

After all the planning and making and breaking schedules, i finally got my road trip, and that also at the moment when i had least expected it. 

It so happened that me and Ankur were coming back after getting his car's AC repaired, while we were somewhere near Apollo hospital, 

he asked ki  " Yaar lajpat nagar ka rasta kahan se hoga?"  

And with my poor sense of directions 

I said ki " Bhai agra ka rasta toh saamney se hai,  woh dekh sign board par likha hai", 

He said ki " Chal phir agra hi chaltey hain." 

Phir kya tha, we went his home packed up an extra shirt , packed his digicam went to my place took the phone chargers, lens solution, bike keys, my helmet and off we went. 

Just then somewhere half an hour on the road later something lit up in our head, the big question......"AGRA KA RAASTA KYA HAI?" .

Then frantically i tried to check my phonebook to see if there was any one i knew who might have a faintest idea that where the hell agra is - Yes, GPS was not an option those days. 

After a few futile attempts, I desperately thought ki Taj Mahal ke paas se Yamuna behti hai na? lets follow yamuna and we will definitely reach there, and that too directly Taj Mahal, but then i shot it down myself when i recalled that we have to return by next day as ankur had his office. 

Then it struck me that Saket had gone to Agra this valentines and luckily he picked up the phone also, - unlike kitty asshole, who had his cell switched off for two days. 

Anyway I called him up and got the directions, after that it was we and the road, kabhie woh aagey, kabhie hum pichey bus full speed chaley jaa rahey they. 

After around 30 Km we stopped to stock on water, snacks and .....misc items :wink: .

We had started at 9:40 PM. than again the race against flying Tudi - rice husk- started.

That time being harvesting season ,trolley loaded with rice husk was plying on roads overloaded and spreading them around, mostly in our eyes.

 The bike was fuelled till the brim, literally. After 100 km or so we stopped For dinner at around 1145 at a family dhaba and had dinner. 

Our helmet ke visors were very scratched and unki totally lagi padi thi so had to drive with open visor whenever a vehicle would shine its headlight hence our eyes were more red than white.

 We saw the Mathura Crude oil refinery and also the burning gas tower from where exhaust gases come out, it was good and very bright ; Actually whole of the road was lit up with it, and mind you,  it was kinda far off. 

Finally reached agra at 0130 and managed to reach someplace called Bijli ghar and got into a hotel. Slept like a log, the cooler was damn cool yaar.  

By the time my neend was disturbed at 7 in morning one of my hands had frozen and had to be cut off 😅, but i  somehow did not lose hope and it regained consciousness, but after that i became cautious and took the blanket over me. 

Then next day got up and went to see the Taj Mahal at 1000 . It was just walking distance from where I was staying and I did'nt even realise till I reach there. 

It was good as the layout was very good, the entrances, the courtyard etc etc. It was freakingly hot -the weather- and we were feeling like dropping dead then and there next to mumtaaz 😁. the ASI has ajeeb funda there, you can take the still cameras but no video recorders.                 Fuckkers!!! 

Anyway our digicam looked like a video recorder to them and they refused to accept that it took still images also. Illiterate Ignorant assholes. Like if I made a video recording then mumtaaz will loose her honor 🙈 in her grave. 

But chalo we both had camera phones, so fuck the fukin fuckers. We had a round of the place and soon got bored because of the exceptionally bright sun we weren't able to look directly at any part of glaring white marble of Taj Mahal. 

Came back to the room and then asked the manager to guide us to some fun thing in that dead city, or the city known for the deads. He said yeah yeah theres is a big market for leather shoes , we were not in mood for lunch so we asked what else? he said there is a big market, we said ok cool!!!

When we reached there we were utterly disappointed. The way he said ki BIG market sadar bazaar, we were impressed then and there only but it turned out to be just a bunch of shops.

 Arey ussey bada market toh mere sector mein hai, and i dont go there as it's too small to visit. ha ha.
Saaley Agra ke pagal.

Managed to find a restaurant for lunch, and it was quite impressive!! With AC and all Bamboo walls, Good! 

Had lunch and it was feeling so nice and cool that sat there for around 3 hours. Then left for noida and tried to cover as much as possible in daylight other wise our eyes would again get screwed, and with the lenses it would be one heck of a headache to take em off again and again and wash. 

So full throttle karizma zoomed past everyone!!! Even some Mercs, but one swift wala dude gave a real good fight, with all that horse power he surely out -strengthened us but I outmaneuvered him. he he Sucker. 

Don't mess with roadies on road.

Finally reached home and now giving my ass some rest. I bet tomorrow even my shit would come in granules coz of all the vibration from the bike ride!! He he.

By the way if u really are interestyed to know if i had shit granular form then ask me in comments and i'll clear the mystery!!!!
