Our second trip.

Date ---> 26th Jan 07
Place---> Theur

After having a successful start to our ashtavinayak tour we immediately headed for our 3rd ganpati. The holy Ganpati of Theur. It was the nearest place from Pune as compared to the other places.

Here is our trip:

Actually I don’t have the pics of this trip because of the fact that this was decided spontaneously.


I mean, we were all outside hanging out on the eve of the Republic day.
Suddenly the thought struck my mind that we were wasting our time just loitering around. We still have time and if we decide, we could go to Theur and complete 3 of our Ashtavinayak Ganpatis.

Surprisingly, everyone liked the thought and we were off in a jiffy from there itself. Being mere 34 km away from Pune, it needed no planning and all.
It was around 10 am when we took this decision and we left at 11 25 sharp.

Being a holiday, it was crowded and driving wasn’t easy at all and above all, we all were without helmets and we paid our price for that.

We reached theur at 12 40 apprx. I was expecting a mob over there but there was not. In fact we took the darshan in just 15 min. there, I and pritesh were busy looking at the remaining places that we had to visit this semester. We roughly decided the dates when to leave for them.
We sat there for a few minutes and we were outside the mandir at around 1 30.

We had to make it quick to our house as no one knew we were here. For them, we were just hanging around. We drove fast as my mom had called and said that she was waiting for me for lunch.

We reached home at 2 25 and thus completed our shortest trip till date.
Cheers!
