It may have been hours that we were stuck in Brahmpur, Punjab, and an alternative arrangement was on its way from Dharmashala (our eventual destination). In the interim, I made my time spent here worthwhile. From enjoying the unique cuppa chai experience near the Gurudwara to having a taste of a kisan's life, were experiences to savour. And also exploring the area, engaging myself to some offbeat photography and doing what I like best - being up to my antics.
My first experience on a tractor. Felt like a kisan
Another front-view pic on the tractor
Side-on view now ....

Punjab Da Puttar Balle Balle
Sardarji leisurely riding his bicycle along the road early morning
Angoor Sutra aur Kya
Felt like plucking a bunch or two but ....
Felt like eating a few but ....
Could do neither of the above, but at least ....
could not resist this temptation in the vineyard :)
People preparing meals early morn' as the eateries opened for the day
Travelling musicians - Thanks Devang for taking this pic for me

Dude you won't believe it but I used to drive tractor when I was of 6-7 yrs of age.
ReplyDeleteFor me, on a tractor was just a pose, and with you driving a tractor, that too at an innocent young age is unbelievable. Guru, a suggestion, do write on unbelievable things you have done as this, on your blog.
ReplyDeleteYes sure. I have a many things to share.
ReplyDeletegreat dude. I have an eye on your blog for your interesting posts :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like you guys had a whale of a time, inspite of the breakdown! Did you like Punjab Basil? I love the endless mustard fields of gold, the dung cake mounds, the villagers, the farmers, the cattle with innocent eyes staring at you, the tractors, the gurudwaras are my fave! And not to mention the lassi and paranthas at the roadside dhabas! yum!! coupled with bhangra music! I miss punjab sometimes...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely we did Crystal.And I made the most of the break-down :)(am grinning here ear to ear) Loved the place, the hospitality of the locals so much so that I would love to marry a Punjabi gal. Already know one on FB through a common interest:) I keep telling this to different colleagues in office when they ask me about my trip up North, as it was the highlight of my trip. And the girl in our department is like 'Not Again.' :D
ReplyDeleteHow is that you have not told us about your Punjab trip earlier? Not seen pics either on your FB. Would love to hear/ see pics about the same sometime soon :)
