Last week a had short trip to Chandigarh along wit ma parents(Jus 2 days).
Took a flight(Jet airways) from Chennai @ 01:40pm and Delhi first(No direct flight from chennai to chadigarh).Had an excellent meal in flight(Thats Jet indeed).Landed at delhi around 4.45pm.
Took a prepaid taxi till Kashmiri Gate ISBT(Bus Terminus)-Rs.310.My fate,got into a maruthi omni.After a 2 hour journey in that trafficated city reached ISBT at 07:00(No flights at evening from chadigarh to delhi-Last one at 06:00pm).
And the quest for ATM  went for 30 mins.Dinner at McDonald's(Spread allover delhi)

Managed to get ticket in Haryana Transport Corp A/C bus(Rs.345).Departure at 07.30pm.
F***kin thing,the vent above me had no provision for closing(Ch(K)illin me)
Wat wlse to do,had no shawl nor sweater.Jus covered myself with the window screen...

D bus stopped some 180 before chadigarh(don know the place name) for a break at 10:45pm.Had an average tastin dip tea;bought some chips and mineral water.After some 2:45 hrs reached chandigarh ISBT @ sector 17.

Ma dad was waitin for me there(He along wit ma mom started 2 days prior to me and had visited Delhi and Kulu).A small walk from there led us to the AG office(ya lik the 1 in mount road).We had been allotted a guest house there since the Accountant General of Punjab was the husband of our friend(A big thanks to her)..
