Rupster says "About the Vey Memorable 10 Days"

So the much awaited year end trip finally took place. It was an experiance that you would have to face it for yourself. Words may just describe it but facing it,looking at it and going through it is something that you got to do it all by yourself.




10 days was not only filled with spiritualism but it was also filled with fun, excitement and tiredness. Travelling for hours in the bus is something that is not very much fun.




Temples were beyond magnificent. You actually get to feel the calmness just as you step food at the entrance. Sometimes you actually wonder how did the actually build those structures thousand of years ago. If today we see them use all sorts of machines to assemble buildings. But those days it was all by hands and major help by elephants to carry stuff.






























The carving on the tombs, the painting and all the art you see is just simply amazing. There are not much pictures of those because camera's are not allowed into the temples. In India, getting in to the temples is all about queuing up. Being tourist we definately would not have enough time to que up.

Thus they have this special line in which you are required to pay and you get to go directly in front of the shine. Rupster always wondered why people kept going back to India for its temples. Its only when she got the chance to stand right in front of the shine that she understood why. At that point of time, you would have forgotten the amount of money paid just to get to stand right there. No words could explain what Rupster felt. All she could say was she felt the power of God. Something that rarely happens.

In India, that was very common for Rupster in almost all the temples! Dont ask why but that was the power of it.Rupster would never be shy enough to say that she actually teared feeling the power of God. That is something not everybody gets to feel. If they do, it could just be once in a lifetime thing though they've gone back to the same temple many many times.

Being in India, you do not have to mention about the food. Because you get tonnes of variety. And mind you it is super duper delicious though its vegetarian. Another thing about India is the level of poverty. Its extremely sad to see that situation. Mind you. These beggers are extremely adamant. They would never leave without getting what they want.

They would follow right from the start of the journey in to the temple and still be with you until you are done with temple and boarding the bus. Even the kids are equally adamant. We had the chance to have a 5 hour train ride too. It was fun too..Very early in the morning and the whole group was supper hyper. We were making so much noise in the train after boarding it just because we were early and not many passengers had boarded the train.

Owhh...and people in India can really shop! Like literally shop and not window shop! To the extend the just sleep where ever they can in the mall and later wake up from a short nap and continue shopping. Imagine the crowd we get to see during Thaipusam in Batu Caves every year. Yes that's the croed that you see almost everyday shopping!!! At 1 pointof time Rupster just turned around and told the whole group that she was tired seeing human-beings! Surprisingly almost everyone agreed!

p/s Like mentioned in the start of this posting. Not much words are there to describe the whole environment. Pictures could only help a little. Its what you see for yourself and what you go through is the whole experience about.
