Shaking Minarets, each
part of our body and car was shaken but we couldn't shake the
minarets !
That was one historic day,
when i read some blogs on a place called NUH and decided to
convince my gang to visit the “Shaking Minarets” – they say “whose shaking
is distinctly apparent”.
So we left early in the morning, loved the drive with long clean roads, hair pin bents and not to forget the infinite number of bumps.
Drove for about 45-kilometre from Gurgaon to see the mosque of Sheikh Moosa and found a lot of cows farmed, heaps of cow dunks parked in the SHAKING minarets and a school inside the complex.So we left early in the morning, loved the drive with long clean roads, hair pin bents and not to forget the infinite number of bumps.
This unprotected monument is more than 700 years old and an enginerring marvel but in dilapidated shape today.
Just before, we could leave the place, our car got
stuck in the sand and to add our misery there were not enough stones or people
around to help take that out on the pakka road.
We four, of which 2 english graduates, 1 statistics
master and the last – An engineer used all our academic concepts to take the
car out of sand but alas it doesnt work.
And then comes the eureka moment, all glasses down full
throttle we try to ignite the car..... and there was mud all over- inside the
car and in our mouth but that doesn't end
the disaster...
we try try and try......
And there comes 2 truck drivers, it took them exactly 7
mins to get the car out on the pakka road for which we almost spend 1 hour.
Our journey ended with samosas and mango shake at a road side thela...
The end of not so great but adventurous trip :)
