On this trip we travel into interiors of Punjab, to a small city on the Chandigarh-Amritsar highway. I take a private AC bus from Chandigarh and am dropped off 4 kms away from my desired location on a highway in middle of nowhere. I had to board a Punjab roadways bus back to the city's bus stand.
The city where I went to had no signs of private or public transport, if you are very lucky you would be able to find a tempo on this highway, its claim being that everything is close by and you can reach from anyplace to anyplace by simply "enjoying" a 2 km walk on the highway. Regardless to say I "enjoyed" a 2 km walk from one part of the city to other in order to reach my destination.
The people here were very warm, humourous and welcoming. A pan-wallah bitched about the city transport system to me for around 20 mins , while the people at the place where I had biryani and beer were also very candid. Coming to Biryani, this is the best part I love about Punjab-people are foodies over here and the restaurants know what to cook and more importantly how to cook it.
Came back to city life of Chandigarh in the evening.
Sitting in a CCD right now and trying to fix meetings after 2 of my meetings have been canceled.
