Punjab Diaries

Started journey towards Mumbai from Pune. There were two buses and total students around 75 .As bus passed some distance from college,we started to dance in bus. After some distance we had stop on petrol pump and then direct to Mumbai railway station. We were still dancing in bus. It was first time to visit Mumbai. We had some time for train so our group had dinner and we purchased playing cards to spend time in train.
Now we were in train started journey towards Punjab. In our group there were 4 people we started playing cards.

Some girls from Mumbai joined us in playing cards. Now our group had more people. On next day we played cards for whole day and on 3 rd day morning we reached to Punjab. At Punjab station,2 buses were waiting for us.We started journey in bus by traveling 30 min we had our first trip spot was Jallianwala Bagh.

This garden have historical importance in British rule. We can get info of Jallianwala Bagh on Google easily. There was narrow entry to Bagh. hardly 3 people can pass through that narrow entry at one time. This is the only entry for this Bagh. Soldier entered through that entrance and blocked the road.Fired bullets on people which were present for sabha.
That sabha was related to India freedom. Many people died in this incidence.
I was in shocked by sawing that narrow entrance.

Then we moved inside. On left side there was Martyrs’ well. People jumped in that Well . From this well 120 people removed after that incidence. After passing some distance there were wall. Wall have bullets marks. It is preserved by Indian government
there was Amar Jyot on right side of entrance. After this spot we moved to hotel. We were tired by travel. We had some fun in hotel play some games after lunch. Then we had travel to Wagha border. Wagha border is between INDIA and PAKISTAN. Beating Retreat Ceremony was for 45 minutes. Soldiers from both side came in front of each Tother and challenged each other. But that was scripted. that time stadium was under construction. So did not got seat. We stand in front of GATE. After ceremony army allows us to click some photographs. We took photo near to main Gate and some with soldiers. India crowd was more as compared to Pakistan. So we enjoyed this ceremony with different slogans.
