Going To Punjab In 1 Week After 20 Years

[sunny_love_kirtan]

Is it safe to drink pepsi or coke when I get there?

Is the contamination scare still ongoing.

soft drinks contain pestisides and in india the amount of pestisides used is more than the limit.

ha ha ...compared to bottled water of dubious origin...soft drinks with trace pestiscides like one part in a million or something is infinitely preferable. So don't bother about some nano-decimal traces of pestiscides in soft drinks esp if confronted with bottled water you are not sure of or that has not been sealed properly.

If at all anything goes wrong...you can sue the pants off Pepsi/Coke & the like and be a very rich man by the time you leave India..ha ha

Thanks to all!

Only drink Bisleri or Aquafina (I recommend) and don't buy them from places like railway station (In delhi Railway station booths.. most of them all fake).. Just make sure you drink the SEALED bottle water.

Mastercard card or visa will be fine and they can be used mostly by majority of the shops in amritsar or places like chandigarh. Only good shops offer that service though. Take lots of toilet papers lol... Believe me its worth taking that as if u buy it from india.. they are very hard and bad quality...

If you go to Amritsar.. (as everyone does) heres what to do:

1) Visit Darbar Sahib (Harmander Sahib). Go very early in the morning around 3ish. See the whole process of darshani deori gates getting opened etc.. Also you won't miss the guru sahib jee coming to main diwan hall from Akal Takht Sahib. Good time for meditation.

2) If shopping for sikhi needs, visit Taksali Shop (next to gulati tailors) and countless other shops. If you want to buy books, go to Sikh Book Store (close/next to Punjab bank).

3) Visit Bhai Veer Jee's Museum house (majority of visitors 99% doesn't even know about it). It's on the lawrence road on the Left Hand Side (You have to find that..) The best way to get their is go the Bhai Vir Singh Jee's hall (for marriages etc) and the is back of the hall. Soo many acres of flowers/trees.

4) Pinglewara - Go ahead and once you are inside.. tell any guy over there to give you the tour. They will give you a small tour and don't forget to visit the musuem of Bhagat Puran Singh Ji.

5) Sikh Yateem Khana - Situated on famous GT Road near Putlighar, Buy 200 or 300 candies (roughly $10) and distribute candies to little kids over there. It will lit their faces up.

6) If you are hungry.. go to Pizza hut on lawrence road and you will love their taste.

At last.. we wish you happy journey and do share your travel exp. when you come back. Take lots of pictures :lol:
