My visit to Niagara…

On the day before Memorial Day, my colleagues and myself had planned for a visit to the world famous Niagara Falls

Niagara falls is located in Buffalo County, some 300 miles from my place Schenectady.

One of my child hood dreams was to visit Niagara Falls in NY State of US of America.

I had heard about this waterfall that it is one of the 8 wonders of the world.

This dream had set in my tender mind when I was in my high school and one of my best friend Yogi’s brother was in Canada then. He had showed me the photos of his brother at Niagara Falls and the casino behind it. My tender mind then had set this as a goal for my life. Though it now seems to be a small issue, but the path took me through this IT industry. And when I came to US I had this love of visiting the Buffalo County where Niagara falls.

We started for Niagara Falls at 8.30 in the morning towards Buffalo. On the way we saw the Mohawk River that flows though Schenectady. I saw the cows in the waste grassland, meadows and old houses. I was filled with joy after seeing the greenery. We reached Niagara at 1.30 in the afternoon and we ran to the counter to take the tickets to visit the places.

Though lonely in my mind, I was happy at least to have some colleagues of mine whom I consider my friends. I took as much happiness as I could in their presence.

First we went to Wind of the mist, which takes us to the Niagara Falls and shows us both the American as well as Canadian Views. When I saw this falls, my mind ran behind 8 years to compare it with our own World famous Jog falls…

Lot of difference is there between the falls…. Jog is tall, Niagara is wide…Niagara roars all over…Jog roars only with Rorer…these two sisters are a festival to eyes…

Cave of the wind gets you nearer to the roaring American falls. But for our Jog, you have to walk through the steps and forest to catch up with the nature’s marvelous creation.

We had already spent lot of time in waiting and enjoying both eh cave of wind and Wind of the mist. But still we waited to see the color show from Canada. It was marvelous to see that the color of water kept changing and u can see a VIBGYOUR Niagara. After this we waited there to see the crackers show and by the time we finished everything it was 11, we had some food in the Punjabi Dhabha and left to Schenectady

By the time we reached back to home it was early morning 5.30 AM of Monday, i.e. the Memorial Day….
