(pictures at the end of the post)
8:30 am - Left from Chandigarh. (You know, In the Dharti sunheri- ambar neela- har mosam rangeela- aisa des hai mera- mode)
10:00 am - Reached the fort (5 Kms from Khanna).
10: 10 am - Had a Budweiser.
10: 30 am- Actually played Rang de Basanti music on my i-pod to get d feel. (Yes, I rate myself the highest in the order of wanna be's. I am actually surprised that I didn't end up going there in an open jeep.)
10: 45 am - Clicked some pictures.
10:50 am - Some other people (locals probably) walked in - felt good- to see that the fort was doing so well.
10:55 am - Witnessed something close to hooliganism or what can only be called the Sleaze-fest 2012
Official partner- Testosterone Charged losers pvt. ltd.
Media partner - Ogling eyes pvt. ltd.
(men and their ways to attract attention-pffff).
11:00 am - Collected our stuff and Got the hell out of there.
(In the famous - tch tch is desh ka kya hoga? - mode.)
Review:
Nice place.
Try going with a group.
There is not much aside from the fort- so good company is a must.
Rest I understood what Aamir Khan has been saying all this while.
We Indians do really know how to make the others uncomfortable.
(Atithi -not- devo bhav)
I was appalled to see that Not just the foreigners- we don't even spare our own when it comes to showing our inhospitable road side mannerisms- like eve teasing/littering/spitting etc etc.. plus it was really dirty too (liquor bottes- wafer packs- and spit stains) .
Place requires a little security and a lot of maintenance.
All this was actually a spoiler and made me deduct 2 and a half stars straightaway from my rating of this place.
Rating:
** and 1/2* (In case u didn't get it- that was two and a half stars)
Here are some pics I think you may like.
Behind me is the field where Aamir Khan and the boys took off their shirts!
