The travelling foodie

Every child is fond of listening to stories, specially if the story is mysterious. When i was a child,  my nanaji used to  tell me stories of many mysterious places in uttrakhand. One of the heated topic on those stories were of jaunsar, a place in uttrakhand where people believe witches exist.  The story, that i remember from my nanaji's side is that once my nanaji's grandfather went to jaunsar for development of roads. Hence he wondered that all the stories from jaunsar were a myth & other engineers were not ready to go there, he got ready for the project of jaunsar. The day he reached jaunsar a cat tried to enter the flat alloted to him, which looked a little bigger than the normal cat. While the cat was trying to enter through the window, he threw wooden photo frame on the cat. He was really terrified by the cat because of it's abnormal size, he had understood that it was one of the witches of jaunsar. The next day when he woke up he noticed that one of the woman ...

When me and my cousin started an unplanned trip to tungnath.  Those days we were in bua's house, usually we go there every year. In the morning my parents and buaji asked me to come along with them to dhari devi mandir, i denied as it was too early in the morning.

Vrindavan is a holy place which is mostly visited by people to experience lord krishna's presence. I visited vrindavan last year with my younger brother as i got to know lord kishna visits vrindavan everyday even till this decade. I was so surprised & hence made a plan to visit the holy place.  We started of in the morning,  reached there by evening. After discovering  many neighborhood areas, we headed to vrindavan. The vibes were too good there but the plan of meeting lord krishna failed as no one is allowed to stay there at night after eight. Let me tell you what is the story behind this - Vrindavan is 5700 years old. People in this area believe that lord krishna visits this place at night. There are some trees around the temple those are small in size, they turn into gopis at night, even the monkeys & other animals leave the place before it is dark. The temple is locked with 3 different locks in the evening and are found opened in the morning.  People say...
