“Woh koi Kashmir trip nahi tha…
par zindagi ka sabse asli ‘staycation’ wahi hota tha — Nani ke ghar.”
Khaali school ki copy, naya holiday homework, aur ek hi sawaal — “Chhuttiyon mein nani ke ghar kab jaa rahe hai?”
Aur boss, jaate bhi the!
Kyuki vacation ka asli matlab hota tha — local train, cousins ki masti, aur chhat pe sone wali raat.
Jab tak safar tha Ahmedabad ke liye,
tab tak excitement full tha. Par yeh safar sirf sheher ka nahi hotatha —
yeh tha ek ehsaas ka, ek routine ka, jo har summer mein repeat hota tha, aur har baar naya lagta tha.
🚉 Local Train – Window Seat Ka Mahayudh
Ahmedabad tak ka local train ka safar,
aur usmein sabse bada sawaal —
“Window seat kiske hisse aayegi?” 😤
Ek hath mein Frooti, doosre mein chips ka packet,aur beech mein bhara hua compartment.
Station ke har naam ke sath ek game — “Agli station pe kon Utrega?”
Bhai, train mein jo masti hoti thi, vo na flight mein hai, na cab mein.
🏠 Nani Ka Ghar – Jahan AC Nahi Tha, Par Pyaar Full Tha
Nani ke ghar pahuchte hi feel aata tha —
“Haan, ab chhutti shuru hui.”
8–10 cousin ek hi kamre mein, aur garmi ka only solution — chhat pe sona.
Ek ek chadar bichhti, takiya sabka personal,
aur raat bhar ki baatein, taare ginte ginte neend aana.
Cooler ki awaaz nahi,
par hawa mein vo purani shahar wali thandak thi
jo kisi bhi hill station se kam nahi lagti thi.
🛍️ Teen Darwaza & Kankariya – Har Trip Ka Official Tradition
Ahmedabad aayein aur Kankariya Lake aur Teen Darwaza na ghoomen —
aisa toh nani ke ghar jaake doodh na peena ho gaya!
Kankariya mein train, jhule, aur gola — sab ka time fixed tha.
Aur Teen Darwaza ka market — bhai bargain karna humne yahin seekha.
Ek Shirt ya Top lene jaate the, par return hote the Panipuri ke swad ke sath. 😆
💭 Wo Yaadein, Jo Kabhi Purani Nahi Hoti
Aaj bhi jab zindagi thoda fast lagti hai,
aur har plan Google Calendar pe set hota hai…
toh kabhi kabhi ek khayal aata hai —
“Kaash ek summer break aur hota, bas ek week ke liye hi sahi — Nani ke ghar ke liye.”
“Ghumne ke liye kabhi bada budget nahi chahiye hota,
kabhi kabhi ek local train aur ek nani ka ghar hi kaafi hota hai.”
🌟 Tumhare Bachpan Ka Safar Kya Keh Raha Hai?
Agar tumhare bhi dil ke kone mein chhupi hai koi aisi yaad —
ek chhat, ek raat, aur ek chhoti si muskaan…
toh tum samajh gaye hoge is blog ki asli feeling.
Aur agar abhi tak samjhe nahi —
toh chalo ek summer break le lo zindagi se,
aur wapas milo apne inner bachpan traveller se!
