The fun thing, if the object is materialistic the worth is only doubled to us after it's stolen. When we see our cycle daily, No one cares. But when it's not there it's enough to shatter our hearts, Isn't it? My cycle was recently stolen. There is nothing more I can do about it now. I wished, to find the thief and slit his throat if I ever got the chance. The story goes like this:- My family and I have just returned from our trip(check out the previous blog).

The major temple to cover on my list is Bharat Mata temple. This temple portrays motherland of the India, as a personified and glorified figure to be prayed to.
