I was on my business trip in
Delhi for 3 days. I had to be there for one more day for the sake of my client.
Surprisingly my meeting got over early in the morning as the client had to take
flight at 9 a.m. sharp. So, I got free by 9.30 a.m. Thus, I decided to go on Delhi one day tour package. I had other options of watching a movie, call a friend and spend
time with his family but it was a weekday when many people are not free. So,
one day tour was a nice option. I got the opportunity to see various
attractions in Delhi. For example: Bangla Shaib Gurdwara, Lakshmi Narayan Birla
Temple, India Gate, Parliament House, Indira Gandhi Museunm, Embassy Area,
Gyarah Murti, Handicraft Market, Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, Raj Ghat, Shanty
Van, Shakti Sthal And Red Fort. All the places were amazing and we got to know
many things about our history and our heritage. I am keen to share my experience about
certain special ones.
Gurudwara Bangla Sahib
It is a Sikh Gurudwara, one of the major ones. There were 10 gurus of
Sikhs. This Gurudwara is dedicated to Guru Har Krishan Ji. The serene
atomosphere of Gurudwara appealed me lot. It was very peaceful. I was feeling a
change from my everyday routine. It was a rejuvenating effect that I did not
feel even after a luxury spa. It was divine. There was a ‘Sarovar’ means water
body inside. It was permitted to have fun over there; still I liked it. I had
the ambrosia means ‘prasad’ of Gurudwara after a long time. Its taste is very
unique not in the ‘Porridge’ made at home. Maybe the purpose is different, that
is why. Well, I started the day extremely well.
India Gate
The Delhi one day tour package sightseeing took me to India Gate then.
It is built in the memory of 70,000 soldiers who were martyrs during the First World
War, in France. These soldiers were Indians. So, after the feeling of divinity,
what followed was the feeling of patriotism. We got to know some stories of
bravery of our soldiers and it was all making us very dedicated to the country
and high respect for their spirit. India Gtae is recgnised as one of the most
prominent war memorials in India.
Qutub Minar
The next was the Qutub Minar. I was lucky to see the World Heritage Site on number third. Its hieight is 73 meters or 239.5 ft. It has five storeys and it is very tall. The height of each story is 14.3 meters or 9 feet. The remaining 2.7 meters is at the top of the Minar. The staircase is spiral and it has 379 steps. The guide said that it is somewhere similar to Minaret of Jam, which is in Afghanistan.
There were many other superb places which gave different experiences totally different from my routine for so long. It was a fruitful change in my kind of person’s life who only keeps working for the sake of money. I now realized I must be on such tours, it will remind me various things as a citizen of the country as well as a human being.
