Orissa (Trip to Bhubneswar, Puri & Konark)

Finally I've been to Orissa... Yesterday I came back from the trip to main tourist spots of Eastern coastal state of India i.e. Orissa.. It was also known as Kalinga, Utkal etc... I went to state capital - Bhubaneshwar, Puri - One of the Char Dhams of India and Konark - Place of Ancient Sun Temple.

I went on 19th of March from Bhopal to Bhubaneswar via Raipur. Reached
Bhubaneshwar in afternoon, And after some rest, went Puri in evening on the same day..

Before reaching to Puri, I visited Dhauligiri on the way, it was the place where Mauryan Emperor Ashoka the Great, fought Kalinga war and then after it, He renounced Wars and Violence,.. There's one rock edict of Ashoka, by it, He conveyed his message of Non-Violence and Compassion to his subject. Dhauligiri visit was important for me. Being a History student, I read a lot on this topic & place...

PURI

It's one of the char dhams of India. I reached there in evening on 19th of march and visited Jagannath temple in the evening.. I saw whole temple complex with main deity Jagannath's temple.. I was blessed to get best darshan of Lord Jagannath.. Then I roamed in city by car and saw Puri city.. Next day on Morning, I again visited to Jagannath temple. This time it was more crowded.. Then I went to its beach.. Puri is located on the coast of Bay of Bengal.. There I had great fun enjoying in water.. Then in afternoon, I headed towards Konark which 40km (approx) from Puri.. Some of road to Konark from Puri is alonside Sea coast, so it's a great view.

KONARK

Konark is place where ancient Sun Temple is located.. It was build in 13th century.. There is one interesting fact, this temple was built very near to coast in 13th century and now the coast is 1.5 km far from temple.. This temple is dedicated to Sun God and by one cyclone many years back, its some part was collapsed.. Still it has colossal structure and temple looks like like Sun God's

chariot. Iron was used in this temple.

Then In Night, I went back to Bhubaneshwar. 10 km before Bhubaneshwar there is one small place pimpari famous for handicrafts. So we halted there purchased some handicraft works..

BHUBANESHWAR

Next & last day of trip 21th of march, I was in Bhubaneshwar.. Well I liked this capital city esp VIP road.. This road is 6 lanes road and many big buildings are situated here.. This city is clean, open and traffic is much low. There you'll find many folk and traditional paintings on the walls alongside the roads..Here I visited Lingraj Temple and then Udaygiri & Khandgiri caves.. These caves were used by Jains monks..

Khandgiri Cave

+++++++++++

Then In afternoon I travelled back to Indore via New Delhi.. So my trip to Orissa completed.. By the way by this trip my char dham yatra also completed.. I visited all Char Dhams : Dwarka (in 1993), Badrinath (in 1996), Rameshwaram (in 1997) & Puri (in 2009)...

Is Bachchi Miracle to me!?

Whatever I'm going to write here now. I must say I mean every single word...

Is Bachchi Miracle to me..!?

I've been thinking this since morning when I came across this line "miracles happens in life"... I'm thinking the way my brotherhood formed with Bachchi, isn't it a sort of miracle...

I'm always thankful to God for every relation I've formed in this life... But Somewhere I feel that all relationship to me are either formed by birth or by I wished to make them.... With bachchi, my brotherhood established neither by two...

The way she came into my life, The way we formed our relationship, The way we never tried to make our relationship stronger, The way all happened so naturally, often make me to think about ourself..

We came to know each other through Honey (THANKS HONEY!) and then we met very seldomly and that too at that time we were never supposed to meet... And then I proposed myself to be her brother. I felt good to be her brother but never think I'm gonna have such great brotherhood with her in coming years...

We never talked so much, We almost never met (only thrice in three years), Still whenever I met her, I always felt that I'm meeting someone I know for so long.. We always behaved so natural and naturally our relationship become so sweet...
As I'm becoming more spiritual, I'm understanding more about Life's mysteries and God's Plans for all of us.. I think we were meant to be like this.. We were destined to be Bro-Sis..

God only knows, that how happy I'm to be her elder brother, this new relation with her, makes me feel Special, Responsible & Inspires me.. I feel so protective for her.. But I'm not possessive for her.. Possessiveness can kill every relation.. I feel Bachchi should learn from others' mistakes, to have her own experiences about life and everything... She should be on her own spiritual journey..

The more you set your frequency with God's, you get to know what had been puzzles to you.. And This is truth because I've experienced it.. This spiritualness is one thing which created my brotherhood with bachchi..

BACHCHI IS A BEAUTIFUL GIFT FROM GOD TO ME..

Today I asked God while meditating: "Is Bachchi miracle in my life....???"
And he whispered to me: "Yes!"

P.S. I've a realisation of this silent conversation.

Must-Read Book: A WALK TO REMEMBER

Currently reading book "A WALK TO REMEBER" by Nicholas Sparks.. This is one of best books (fiction) I've come across... I watched the movie made on this book and found it wonderful and so is the book...

Nicely written and can make you feel emotional.!!

Still Feeling Betrayed...!! Why?

Today, while having breakfast, I got attack from nostaglia of one friend and I again became disappointed... All those memories of moments spent together was started playing on my mind like some film.. Those memories are full of happiness, promises of being friends forever, Future plans made by us, hangouts, what we did together etc.......

Now all seem false... I feel why we were having those great enjoyment when we were supposed to end up like this... Somewhere I think that our friendship was not as strong as we believed... Because any relation can be judged by time and distance... And Out friendship ended when time and distance came between it...

I'm still feeling betrayed... The way all finished was so disturbing that it sometimes make me sick of friendship........

I'm becoming more spiritually awared now days and I try to understand this matter with some fundas like Law of Karma etc... but still my mind ask these questions:

WHY THIS HAPPENED WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMED SO PERFECT??
WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT?
