It feels like a pre-kiddie mini break . I really wanted to experience something new and exciting. The number of days I was in Allahabad ,I use to hang around like anything. Got some scream-buzzers , some harsh comments and strange pedestrians.
In Allahabad the best thing I liked was cheap transport. In just 20 bucks you can experience Tricycle Rickhaws. I even tried riding, was real tuff. And, tempos they are just too comfy and spacious.Rs2 per head. The reason ,I know about public transport coz I use to go out secretively with a younger cousin ,who studies in Boys High School, Allahabad.Ok, let me ramble on this.
Boys High School a.k.a B.H.S is a brand school out there. It got started in 1861 by a missionary.Its Brand Ambassadors are many but to name one is , Mr. Amitabh Bachann. This school is the only school which has got swimming pool , a huge playing ground and its located in the centre of the city .Boys out there are said to be something...! Will tell only, when asked;)
The other famous thing is Mayo Hall also known as Amitabh Bachann Sports Club.The Badminton court really excited me. It has a seperate court for every game.
The other place is Hanuman Mandir .You have to be careful about the timing.Otherwise, go round and round.
Anand Bhavan and Planetorium are just next-to-next.Anand Bhavan has remaining of Jawahar Lal Nehru. A good place. And, planetorium take you through stars and the same old thingie.Ye, you can surely catch some military hunks out there,only if you are lucky!
I did'nt really heard about night life in Allahabad but, Civil Lines is a happening place. You got Atlas Mall , inside you get the Retail Chain of Big Bazaar and Mc Donald.What really excited me here was Bunjee Jumping .Ye, Allahabadis do that, how kool is that! I also tried and was a greta fun.To bear, juntas reaction is hell. They are crazy!
The other market in the city are Chowk and Katra.
And, who can forget the banks of Ganges , out of this world.Will describe it in a seperate post.
Till then chao!
