Family Tour ..happiness over-loaded

Family Tour.. happiness over-loaded

I was much excited when I boarded the flight to New Delhi from Goa with my son Puneet and my husband Shivanand.

This time the reason for my un controlled excitement is that my brother also joined us with his family for the first time, flew in the air sitting in the priority seat, one side we three and in the same row other side my brother Ganesh his wife Nayana and his lovely daughter Anusha.

I could make out from all their faces that they're happy about it . Dad asked, " Why is airplane window round in shape?"

"It is round and  it has a tiny hole in it, it keeps window fog free"  Puneet responded in a simpler way.
"Yes it regulates the pressure within and outside the plane" he  added more. We nod our head as if we understood everything!!

My husband sat by the window seat coolly observing the outside scenery-the extra ordinary things pass across icy peaks, shiny ocean, mountains, laps of  clouds, and other aircraft - it was heavenly feeling!!

For a few moments I sat and lost in my thought .. when Puneet came to us from Netherlands on leave with in no time how quickly  he decided with his Mama Ganesh eight days tour to New Delhi, Agra Jaipur and Udaypur.

I doubted it would be a flop for hardly two weeks remained for him to go back to Netherlands and before that he was supposed to complete this tour.

Thank God! how quickly he arranged it  through Make-my Trip package!!!  As Pooja says 'Puneet is like that- once decided he won't be back'. Poor thing she and Rahul were not with us this time for they didn't have sufficient leave but wished us to enjoy the tour at the most.

My thought had a break when the air-stewardess came to our seat with moving trolley serving us food like light snacks with bread and cheese and beverages.
I looked at the other side. Ganesh and Nayana were looking through the window pane as if watching suspense movie!!!
My husband glued to the window seat, not aware of anything just enjoying the beauty scene from the flight.
I just pushed him back with my head and peeped through the window-pane. . each time there are new changes-the light is different sometimes pale sometimes bright . The clouds cast shadows on the sea. The lakes reveal rainbow hues. It is thrilling to see the edge of space that is the curved horizon beyond the sea. Nature shines and cities feel colossal!!  Yeah now  I came to know why Puneet always ask for a window seat while travelling in flight.

 We reached  New Delhi within two hours and from the Delhi Air-port we travelled in the cab to the luxurious hotel the Park. From there we began our day- through out - sight-seeing- visited the most beautiful places - India Gate, a beautiful stone archway  Red Fort, a famous tourist place, Qutub Minar -73 meter high tower built in 1193, Jantar-Mantar located in modern city in New Delhi consists of 13 architectural astronomy instruments and Lotus Temple a prominent attraction and notable for its lotus flower shaping. Puneet clicked a lot of pics in his Cam  and  Ganesh  with his iPhone .  Eating in posh hotel, strolling on foot-path, moving in park,  boating- rafting in lake were other pass times and had a lot of fun and amusement. 

It was a  hassle- free journey convenient and easier for us as the cab driver Sukhdev was  good and friendly with all of us, called me 'Mathaji' every time helping us in need and became a good friend of my husband , accompanied him when he took rest instead of moving with us. 

In between Ganesh mama's jokes kept us lively and enthusiastic. We were not tired as it was
well planned  by Punu.

The first day of our tour was joyous!!!
