Yesterday on 30th September, as I said in the previous post, was my birthday and on this day there was also a "Shraddh Vidhi" at my Father-in-Law house. I and my wife have to travel to Botad City: What3Words location so we wake up early at 5:00 am in the morning and went to Bus Stop to pick up a bus of 6:00 am from Surendranagar to Botad. When we reached Bus Stop, the bus was already on the platform waiting for departure.

^{A Photo From My Bus}

At exactly 6:00, but departed from the station Surendranagar City at What3Words location and due to the monsoon atmosphere, the clouds and rising sun was looking very beautiful. So I took a pic from my Redmi 8 SmartPhone from running a bus. I hope you would also like to see this pic of beautiful nature.

^{Early Morning Atmosphere}

At around 8:50 am we reached our destination and pick up an auto-rickshaw to go to the desired place (my father-in-law's house) and we paid charges of Rs.30 for 2 people for the auto. It was around 3 km. away from our arrival bust station. So, it was reasonably fair to pay this fare. At first, the Auto driver was asking for Rs.40.

Before pick up an Auto, I just purchased Five Star Chocolates 20 nos. @ Rs.5 from a grocery shop to distribute it to children as part of my birthday celebration.

At home, first, they welcome us and congratulate me on my birthday wish. I distribute chocolates to all the children and family members. We all took tea and breakfast together at Botad.

Soon after, a brahmin come to the home and he started "Pooja Vidhi" as a part of Shraddh. It took around 3 hours for this "Shraddh Vidhi".

^{It's Me with My Brother-in-Law Mr. Manoj}

I meet my brothers-in-law and sister in law at many more relatives there taking selfies for our memories because they were coming from faraway places like Surat City: What3Words Location

^{It's Me with My Brother-in-Law Mr. Ashok}

We all together enjoyed ourselves a lot and then look lunch at around 12:30 pm. It was a Gujarati Thali but I forget to take a picture of the food.

My brother-in-law's little daughter "Vishwa" is very cute. I played with her a lot and on my every act she was smiling and talking with me innocently.

The brahmin was good in nature and he explained all the "Vidhi" in detail. He did all things in a perfect way and we all were satisfied with his work.

^{I am arrived at Railway Station for Return Journey by Train}

For the return journey, I called 139 Railway to inquiry if there is any train available from Botad to Surendranagar and the executive give me information that there is a local train at 15:38.

So, at around 3:15 pm, I and my wife left from there to pick a train to our home for the return journey, and in the same way, we pick up an auto from home to the railway station. There was a train at 3:38 pm, so I preferred to travel by train because a train journey is more convenient than a bus journey.

^{My Train Ticket to 2 Persons}

On reaching Railway Station, I purchase an unreserved ticket from Botad to Surendranagar. It cost Rs.45 per person so I paid Rs.90 for two persons.

^{My Return Train Journey Started}

The train was around 1 hour late as it came at 16:40 pm and we reached our home destination at around 18:00 pm at Surendranagar. I called my son in advance to pick up us from the railway station and by this way, we come back home after an enjoyable journey.

Overall it was a good day for me because I celebrated my birthday and also participated in a family event.

Thanking you.
