Visit to nanak piao


Visit to Nanak – Piao

Yesterday was the hottest day in delhi , maximum of 45 degrees and minimum of 33 degrees . I was at my massi’s place all day and could muster courage to only venture out in the evening . So , I went along with Sahil( My cousin) and his friends ( Dadu, Rajeev & Vikas ) . We went out in vikas’s refurbished 1985 model ambassador . It looked an antique piece with its back window controller coming into my hand soon .

So, we first went to gurdwara nanak piao on the G.T – Karnal road . I like the history behind this gurdwara , guru nanak devji stayed at this place in the 15th century for some time and serve the travelers on GT road by serving them with water . That is why he made the place dug up to store water and quench the thirst of travelers . Hence , it has been named after this event : Gurdwara Nanak Piao . The gurdwara had an earthly appeal , beautiful bhajans goin on in the background and the walk around the sarovar was peaceful . The water was still being served to all worshippers and visitors as part of the ritual still being followed . The sarovar had all types of fishes in it and it looked beautiful . Thanks to Rajeev for making us visit this gurdwara .

Further on we went shopping to Kamla nagar . It was pathetic .. the crowd as well as the heat . The heat was unbearable . So , we just ventured into the shops and stayed there for as long as possible . Dadu bought some footwear .. we had some MCd burgers and some refreshing badam-pista and kesar-pista milk . By this time, my T-shirt had got all wet with my sweat .
I came back as soon as possible to massi’s place and another Sunday was over in a jiffy . Let me wish all of you a great week ahead . bbye .
