ONE DAY TOUR HASTAGIRI

 "Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent,in the ideas of living." - Miriam  Beard.   

         Hastgiri  Picnic

 

             one-day tour was organized by R. R.  Monpara Arts College on February 8, 2023. And it was the first chance to stay with our senior, professor and principal from morning to evening. Also it was memorable  fertile and fruitful day.

           We reached the college at 6.45 am and then waited for another student to come. Our journey started around 8 am  by bus . Took students from different places on the way.We were allotted the front seat as the number of girls was less.

         Around 9 am we stopped for breakfast at Bordidhar. For breakfast we were served jalebi - gathiya  and chai. The place was peaceful and beautiful. I liked that place very much. We took photos, shot videos and left for Hastagiri. 

          Around 11.30 we reached Hastigiri. We took photos there. And then visited Derasar. But photography of Derasar was forbidden. I wondered why they didn't have to take photos. If photos are allowed, other people who cannot go there can also get information by looking at the photos.

                   The carvings of Derasar were amazing. The entire Derasar was made from marble stone. And the atmosphere there was also very calm. There was also a lot of cleanliness.We also took a group photo outside Derasar.

              We reached one place. Where lunch was made. We helped in making lunch. But the cooking aunty was very good natured so she refused us. Because that seemed to be their duty. Do not seek help from others until you can do it yourself.Then we served food. And took lunch with Mam.  We also play garba  with mam,sir and our principle . We left that place and then reach at Taleti where some of us do shopping and we wandered around and ate pani-puri and come back at bus. At last we danced for while. Around 9 we reached back at college. 

                       When I came to know that our Principal Dr. Ashish Sir Chauhan is coming with us, I felt that we have to be disciplined and follow the rules.He made us laugh a lot, played garba with us. Usually, I thought they were quiet and strict in college but I was proved wrong.

         We went to see the majestic and beautiful Derasar where humans were forbidden to take shelter. And after five hours came to the small hut. Even though the hut was small but Baba who lived in it had a big heart who sheltered us and provided us with the necessary things.

             It was another pleasure to spend those five hours without smoke, noise of vehicles and without any kind of disturbance. In that calm environment we also heard the chirping of birds. And spent those hours with great patience, gentleness and cooperation.We also enjoyed playing Garba in that calm atmosphere. Our principal and professors also played garba with us.

           After that, after visiting the Taleti, we left to come back. In the bus we sang songs, danced and had a lot of fun.

           Thank you so much Dr. Ashish sir , Vipul sir , Vaidehi Ma'am,  Komal ma'am and Twinkal ma'am to support us. And special thanks to Vipul sir and Ashish sir to organized this picnic.
