My post is all about capital of ORRISA. As a capital I imagined the city like Chennai... But my entire dream was shattered when I stepped in to BBSR in vishaka express... Then I came to know that in bbsr no public transport... Really we spent a lot for auto to go to zoo, park etc and etc... Then one more interesting thing is the cows there.. You can find lots and lots of cows... Even if vehicle horns loudly the cows dare to move. My favorite hangout is kalinga cottage. One fine Sunday we went to restaurant called “Hare Krishna”. We were hungry to the core. I ordered tomato rice. And was eagerly waiting for it. The moment the waiter brought the plate, I was totally disappointed. They had mixed half boiled rice and tomato sauce.. Some how managed one month.
Places I visited:
• First weekend: Ram mandhir, Pantaloons and Big bazaar
We had a good dharshan in Ram mandhir. Then to pantaloons, where I was shocked by seeing the price of a jean top which would be worth for just Rs.200. But the price in the tag was Rs.1670.
• Third weekend: Nicco park, coffee day, Smokin Joe’s and Nandankanan zoo
I enjoyed a lot in Nicco Park. Especially in water coaster. Then in nandankanan zoo, saw white tigers for the first time.
• Fourth weekend: lingaraj temple
• Fifth weekend: The great tour to Dhauli, Konark, Chilka lake and Puri
Dhauli was indeed a great place. It was from here that King Ashok set out to spread Buddhism. Konark was really superb. But the sad story behind it is only few remains of the temple stand there due to improper maintenance. Then we went to Chilka Lake. Three hours boating included sea mouth and dolphin mouth. We were lucky to see 6 dolphins.
So these were the only days of entertainment in Bhubaneshwar.
