Today’s bus ride from Krishna Galli was 20 mins long. I got on a Sajha bus since the खलासी dai from yesterday did not pick up my phone.
I was amazed by how fast Sajha buses travel. I was kinda scared. Anyways, 20 mins away from Krishna Galli = Pani Pokhari.
I had only been to this place while driving and had never walked around here. The first logical thing seemed to find the Paani Pokhari.
I asked a shop keeper about where this Pokhari is and he pointed me to a direction, which I followed. I eventually found out that there is no actual Pokhari.
I then proceeded to take a random route behind the KULK building and this is where my day’s journey begins.
Firstly, I was met with a tiny park. And then a stone tap where people were washing their clothes and filling up water in bottles. Then I walked some more and got hungry.
So I stopped for some chowmein in a local shop.
Then I randomly followed a road that seemed to lead to greenery. Then I was met with a forest called Raani Ban.
I could not record inside the forest but it was pleasant. A lot of bamboo and bird noises and occasional beeps from vehicles outside. I stayed for an hour.
I eventually walked out of the forest and it started raining. I walked whenever it stopped raining and waited whenever it started pouring.
I walked and I walked with no destination taking videos of anything that caught my eye. I was bored, hot and tired. I talked to a few people, took videos of them and took a Sajha bus back to Krishna Galli.
Anyways, Rani Ban was mid.
