Chopper Ride

They say that all good things come to an end, and so did my stay at IIT. It was a friday afternoon when even the clouds starting crying while I was busy packing my stuff.

Anyways I have left Mumbai and have reached home, via Vaishno Devi shrine. It was my second visit to the holy shrine. Last time I went - we walked all the way up, waited for 2 hours in the queue before we could have the darshan. This time it was quite simple. I hopped on to a helicopter which took me to the top in just 4 mins. With the special priority entry scheme, managed to have darshan in flat 10 mins :)

While boarding the chopper, I was asked if I wanted to sit on the co-pilot's seat. Who would refuse that offer. Now you can imagine the view that I got from that seat. No words to describe it. It was a once in a life-time experience and of course complete paisa wasool. Unfortunately couldn't take any photos. It seems no camera or leather goods are allowed inside the shrine and that is why I thought of not taking thing. I regret that decision now!

At home now and having loads of free time. More than what I did at IIT :D Will write more often now. (sounds cliched.. err)
