Leaving Katra For India's Capital New Delhi
As I was not able to procure sleep the entire night in Katra the sum total of black tea and bananas signaled the intent that onward journey would be accomplished with no hiccups. The set of idly the previous night from Jewels was good and so was the ambience. As I bided time personnel of Katra Taxi Stand assured me transport would be arranged for Jammu. In October 2017 when I visited this place I had grub from Krishna Dhaba. Mind you Luxmi Vaishno Dhaba or Krishna Dhaba are no ordinary restaurants, they are upscale by any standards.
Mr Bunty Of Katra Taxi Stand Helpful
After 11 am I checked out of Tilak Yatri Hotel with the personnel Mr Biju wishing to know whether I intended to avail taxi service. The prompt response by Mr Bunty of Katra Taxi Stand assured me that Mr Biju's request could be entertained the next time. This Tilak Yatri hotel is good by all means. Leave Katra at 11.09 am. Mr Om Prakash Sharma (9419110057) is at the wheels. He has been driving taxi for 30 years. He put a query to me whether I visited Vaishno Devi Shrine every month to which I replied I come as and when Goddess Vaishno Devi wishes. Visiting Vaishno Devi Shrine at short intervals and even every month could be possible if Vaishno Devi Ma so desires.
The Ride From Katra To Jammu
As the taxi made its way through Katra town going past Hotel Asia Shripati, going past Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Spiritual Growth Centre. Sight hoarding of Thanks For Visit Municipal Committee Katra. Go past Suraj Vaishno Dhaba. Go past TNP News hoarding. The road to Jammu is great with enough twists and turns. Board of hurry makes bad curry and this message is for all those driving different modes of transport and they need to have patience and spare a thought for pedestrians. Spot PWD At Your Service Hoarding. Spot J&K State Road Transport Corporation bus. Thanks For Visit District Administration Reasi board spotted. At 11.29 Srinagar (Srinagar Is Capital of Jammu And Kashmir State In India) is 220 km, Delhi 602 km. At 11.30 reach Suketar. At 11.33 go past first tunnel, followed by second and third tunnel. Surroundings are expansive. Fourth tunnel comes soon after. At 11.38 reach Ban. At 11.39 Delhi is 593 km and Jammu 33 km. At 11.40 Sharp Curve Here board spotted. Go past Kashmir Handloom And Handicraft Store. At 11.42 reach Dhammi. At 11.45 reach Jagti. At 11.48 reach Khanpur. At 11.49 comes Sithi. At 11.50 Amritsar 228 km, Pathankot 117 km and Jammu 20 km. Enter Jammu city a little after 12 pm. The traffic is thin with sighting of enough security personnel. At 12.16 reach Jammu Airport.
More Than Three Stages Of Frisking At Jammu Airport
There is almost winding queue outside airport and frisking begins at the outer gate of airport itself. This is followed by second stage of frisking and third stage. The CISF personnel who rummages through check in baggage points out that coconut can't be carried. He is from North East and with enough patience. Here I take a seat next to frisking point and here a woman passes through carrying laptop. I bide my time with announcements made for different flights. Vistara flight arriving from Srinagar to Jammu and headed back to Srinagar. Similar announcements made for IndiGo and Go Air ( Go First). With Go First Flight which I am supposed to board the announcement is made for gate change from number four to number three. Here there is another set of frisking before boarding the aircraft. Flight captain is Mr Pradeep Kumar Sharma and co-pilot Ms Vinita Kashyap. The flight takes off at 2.48 and lands in Delhi airport at 3.48. In record 60 minutes the Go First Flight accomplished Jammu-Delhi ride as against almost 70 minutes taken by Spice Jet flight from Delhi to Jammu.
Pre Paid Taxi Counter At Delhi Airport T 2 Good; Bring In More Black And Yellow Taxis
We hail flights that take off from Delhi and go via Delhi Cantt, Bhikaji Cama Place and South Extension. In T 2 Delhi Airport where the Go First Flight lands there is little rush and one can step out of airport premises in matter of seconds. The pre paid taxi counter maintained by Traffic Department is handy and I hail a Non AC Black And Yellow Taxi. These pre paid taxi counters are a must as they give employment to black and yellow taxis of an era gone by and gives income to those people who are content with vehicles that are old. I wish more black and yellow taxis make inroads in the city of Delhi and beyond. The route that my taxi took from airport was similar to the route taken by a black and yellow taxi in August 2016 when I returned from Guruvayur in Kerala State In India while taking flight from Kochi at 2.30 am. The memories of Guruvayur stint comes afresh. I stayed in Guruvayur for almost a week with Lord Guruvayur showering blessings. This time round I reach home a little before 4.50 pm with memories in abundance about Vaishno Devi Shrine. While coming from this route next to Africa Avenue and in vicinity of a church the Friday Market can be seen. The point not to be missed I carried Mysore Sandal Soap (Mysore Sandal Soap Is Manufactured In Bengaluru City In Karnataka State In India) To Vaishno Devi Shrine And Brought It Intact Back To Delhi.

In SVBC's Adhyatmika Viseshalu on Thursday there was mention of Goddess Padmavathi Perinovatsovalu in Tirumala on same day.
Are Their Flights From Delhi To Srisailam (Andhra Pradesh) And Hope Airport Comes Soon
When would flights originate from Delhi and go all the way to Srisailam In Andhra Pradesh State In India no one knows. First the airport has to come up. Airport at Srisailam is a must. Reminiscing about Srisailam (Andhra Pradesh), Jakhu Temple (Shimla), Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah (Ajmer), Nathdwara, Udaipur (Lord Shrinathji Resides Here) and Tamil Nadu (Kotagiri And Udhagamandalam). As for the City Of Bengaluru the weather is fine and much relief from summer scorcher of North India. It has been a while since I visited Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah in Ajmer.
