ALLAHABAD.
Hey guys, how are you all? I know, it’s been weeks since I
last posted, I’m really sorry for that but I was making major decisions for
this blog, so, this is officially a Lifestyle, travelling and food blog. So
yaay!
This first blog after WEEEkKKSS, is travel related. Hands up
if you love travelling, would do it even if you had to put up in a dingy motel,
not tourist around, won’t go on a itinerary tour, won’t follow a map and do
what the locals do because that is what I’d do. I love travelling and even the
cons it offers. So, you might not know this but my aunt lives in a city named
Allahabad which belongs to the state of Uttar Pradesh. I spent my summer
vacation there this time, huehuehue. I’m a Kolkata girl, born and raised in a metropolitan,
small towns just don’t speak to me much, it also doesn’t help that I live smack
in the middle of the city and I love noise, it helps me sleep, *le Shireen
Gupta trying to be deep* but seriously I hate silence, I thought of Allahabad
to be one of those ghost towns but I was a tad bit surprised. You might just go
ahead and call me condescending but I think lowly of towns and I had the same
idea for Allahabad but it was amazing to be honest.
Here’s a list of do’s and don’ts for all ya wanderlusts out
there :3
DO’S:
Places to visit:
To be very very very honest, until and unless you are a
religious person, I don’t think you’ll like to tourist out.
Now, the real deal, the underrated places you must visit. :
1. There’s this apparent haunted house which used
to be a factory and where around four murders took place, I don’t know the
exact address but what I can tell you is that there’s a famous tank near a
hanuman temple and a lane right beside it, go straight and take the first left
and you’ll find a wall which has the word “disputed” written all over it,
across the wall is a small house like building. Yup, that is your destination.
Here’s a picture, ain’t it spooky? (BTW, you can’t go inside the house ‘cause
it is disputed)
1. 2. Another haunted house, guess who’s a freak, this
girl. This house is more abandoned than haunted, we went inside and all but we
didn’t see or feel anything, it does have animal bones lying around but nothing
scary really,oh and if you do enter this house, please go up to the terrace,
the view is breathtaking. Address: Ashok Nagar, military cantonment, “Bhut
Bangla”
2. 3. If you visit Allahabad and don’t visit El Chico
then God wouldn’t forgive. THE FOOD, THE GODDAMN FOOD IS HEAVENLY. Go ahead, be
jelly.
Address: 24, Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Civil
Lines, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh: 211001.
Phone no. 05322427696
DON’Ts:
1. 1. Don’t visit Khusro Bagh until and unless you are
a couple who likes meeting in secret yet publicly.
22. DON’T
GO ANYWHERE FROM 12:00 P.M. to 5:00 DURING THE SUMMER IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE
BURNED TO DEATH.
Best season to visit:
Autumn, autumn in Allahabad is to
die for.
Things to try:
THE CHAAT, if it were up to me,
every meal of mine would consist of chaat.
Oh, if you’re in luck, you’ll
experience summer rain in Allahabad which is the best thing ever.
So, yeah, that’s about it I
guess!
