I ni I normally visit Agra in weekends and vacations. I get bored in between the journeys. Till Sohna everything is right ,after Sohna I feel bored . If you have read my other blog you must have got to know that I want to reach every place fast. The word slow is not in my ‘Dictionary’.


The conditions of the roads in Palwal is not good –especially during monsoons. In India if rain falls most of the unconstructred roads get filled with water, not only that some of the good roads get broken. They get many pits . The roads of Palwal are filled with many types of people – greengrocers,carpenters, shopkeepers,labourers(women and men),happy and joyful children,drivers,etc. They make Palwal an overpopulated,dirty and disease prone place.

After Palwal ,many small towns come which atleast have less people. One town’s name is Chatha which often makes me laugh because the meaning of this town’s name is an ‘umbrella’ in Hindi language. The other towns are less populated and have clean roads except for some towns.

Then we reach Goverdhan – a holy place where Krishna had lived once, and then comes Vrindavan – a place where krishna lived in his childhood. In Vrindavan , I see good apartments and roads. Then comes  the tollway of Mathura and Vrindavan. Mathura is the holy place where Krishna killed his evil uncle Kansa. We usually stop at Mcdonald’s in Mathura . After 30 - 40 minutes Agra comes. We see Sikandra when we were going to reach Agra.

I breath a sigh of relief when I reach Agra. Do you get bored in long journeys? If you don’t you must definitely have internet or something.
