FLY TO BALI
(A Meditation Road Ahead)
Every trip always becomes a Lesson in Life (Spiritual) and Memory of Time (Materialistic). After my breathless busy contribution to the AAP, in last non-stop 8 months, I eagerly demand a meditation in the peaceful place. So I choose a destiny in Google Map. and I found one of the best peace, natural and spiritual lagoon BALI, Indonesia. I heard Bali is a place of Lord Buddha and Siva, where maximum temples of there and Nature always smiling and whispering to all. So I wished to make my meditation towards Bali. Meditation means not Concentration or silent sitting or Chanting something. Meditation means silent concentration in between mind to soul.
On 22nd of January 2018, Finally, I come out from Khirki Village, Delhi at 5:45 PM towards IGI, T3 Airport by an OLA cab. Vicky, The Driver of that Ola cab and he drive the car via Hauz Khas, Munirka and RK Puram to Indira Gandhi International Airport, T3. Most Interesting is that The car was Sharing Cab and I get first time experience of that sharing Taxi, Those Taxies are not time committed for their customer, they are committed only for their destination But after knowing my destiny my co-passengers willingly Support me to reach my destiny soon (Feeling Good). Finally, I reached IGI Airport At 6:50 PM. After the 45mints duration of immigration checking line, I enter in security check-in for 20mints. After that, I enter Chroma Shopping Centre to buy Ear Phone. Finally, I sit on the Air Asia flight and my flight was at 11:15 PM but it was a one and half hour delay. On the flight I met a 20 People group, they are going to Malaysia from Delhi. They are really a full funny gang, they laughed lots with them on some the personal junk conversations. They gossiping as they are in Local Train, and made up the environment as Local Train Station. They doing some joke on this mid-time of the flight delay and many times Flight Cabin Crew asked them to keep quiet. On flight no free water, so we have to buy one water bottle with 100 rupees (6 Ringit, Malaysian Currency). which I Twitt also to Sushma Swaraj, I met a fellow named Sunny who is from Punjab and studying in Australia, Actually, he asked me to buy this bottle for him. He was veg and his booking Of meal was non-veg and cabin crew can't change his meal Now, So at Mid Night when I wake up from, he asked me to take his prebooking meal and I can't deny his offer because I am too hungry on the time. After taking meal I sleep again when I open my eyes, the sky is an orange type, The Sun rising slowly and my flight D7 183 Air Asia landed at Kuala Lumpur Airport on 23rd of Jan, 5:55 AM (IST) and 8:30 AM (Kuala Lumpur Time). I step forward to see off Sunny, till his check-in point to his Destiny Australia. Bye Buddy... will meet again somewhere and sometime in this world Bye...
On Same Day I roam the whole Airpot, it was worlds second largest Airport and I am enjoying its beauty, First, I buy one local handmade Goat Milk shop with 10 Ringgit, to take bath, after the bath, I read some books and I took Malaysian Dish too in airport food court. Rice, Local chicken curry with 18 Ringgit. I spend my whole day at the Airport. Next, my flight takes off on 7PM from Kuala Lumpur and I reached Bali on 11PM (Indonesian Time). I come out from Airport within 10 Mints, easy immigration check-in at the airport. In the Airport Gate after checking out one guy asked me for Cab, The cab driver Name Wira asked me 3lakhs 50thousand IDR from Airport to my Hostal, Jimbaran. He has taken the high price from me, but it was 11 PM and Airport was silence So suddenly I took him, on the way I talk with him about Bali tradition and monetary resources, he is so friendly and supportive guy. Because he said me that he doesn't know the hostel address but he said his phone will find it, then he searches my hostel on his map, and I also searched my Destination on my offline map. Everyone should download this offline map before traveling to an unknown country and when our network also not support our phone. Finally, on 12pm at Midnight I entering into Bali Golden Elephant Hostel. I had no money to give to the Taxi driver if I give full payment to the hostel, I booked my hostel via Hostel.com So according to terms I have to give full payment before entering at hostel room. But they are so helpful they asked me to give the money to Cab and they suggest me to give their full payment on next day morning. It was so helpful for me by Juli Ani, The receptionist lady.
3rd day on 24th of Jan, I wake up at 9AM (Indonesian Time), after my morning fresh and up, I come down to take my breakfast at the reception. Juli Ani the lady of Golden Elephant Hostal, she is so caring and helpful, as I know her from last night, my first meet, she serves my foods and all room service, there was no waiter, after taking my breakfast I went outside to search ATM to Payment the balanced amount, after bring out money from my IDBI Visa card, on road I met 2 backpacking guys, They asked me the address of Golden Elephant Hostal, where I am staying. So, I asked them to follow me, Alex and Mathew searching this hostel from last one hour and suddenly they meet me and find out their destination. When we enter at reception place, we saw a new girl there... Hi... I am Polina from Germany, then we all given our introduction to her. The first time we met with each other but its seem we are very old friends, Polina took a scooter on rent for 24hours, then I asked her to do share it with me ... she asked me where would be the best places to visit? I said someplace searching on Google, but she wants to go to Temples first, then we decided to go to Uluwatu temple with Mathew and Alex. They have also a rented scooter. We start our journey with Maps.me, my offline map and The Temple is located in at South Kuta, Badung which is 8.9km far from our hostel, before entering in temple road we have to pay 1000 IDR on toll gate. After that we parked our bike and going to temple... but its need 3000 IDR ticket fee to enter in Uluwatu Balinese Sea Temple boundary. After that, we took 4tickets and enter the temple... Temple is famous for Monkeys and Sea View.
4th day on 25th January, Moning 5:30AM (Indonesian time), Alex, Mathew, and Anastasia left Hostal to start their next Journey to a small Gili Island. Together we spent a memorable time in Bali Golden Elephant Hostal. It's hurt to say bye but we cant keep the time along with us. Life always mean it. So, Live in your present time and make it fruitful for your life lesson, Ager, Ego, Cruelty never allow you to live a genuine life. I Slept again..., After a couple of Hours, suddenly I heard a voice, "Elvin... Elvin... wake up... It's 8:30 AM and we are getting late.." It was Polina Dogra. She sudden enter my hostel, because hostel door was always can open from outside. Polina is a very cute, independent, Brave and unreligious hard determined 22 years young Girl. Then I come up from the bed and after 15 mints I join her on Breakfast Table. She makes my whole day plan with the scooter, I met an Angel in Polina in Bali. we are going to Goa Gajah temple at Bedulu and its nearby Ubud. There is Siva, Ganesha, Brahma, Bishnu and Buddha Temple together in one campus. To enter this temple we need entry ticket cost 25000 IDR and after return we I paid our parking feed 2000 IDR. Then we start our next destination to Tirta Empul at TampakSiring Here is one soul purify pond, so this temple also calls for Soul Purify temple... There also we need to get entry ticket which cost is 15000 IDR to enter the Temple and after that, I took half bath in there, But I wet my head and lower part of the body, they have already given us a long cloth seem traditional towel to wear as Rapper. Polina also tears her half body (legs) only. Because we don't have extra clothes. After the ritual bath, I saw a pond again from where some bubbling come out from the surface (soil), but water still gets clean. It was nice to view of that temple campus. Outside of the temple, we have to come from a small street market, from where Polina bought a dress for her Mom. This time she paid 2000 for our bike parking. Now our next journey to Campuhan Ridge walks at Ubud. It is a natural hill area to walk 2KM. On that place, we enter free, without tickets and we parked our bike also without single money.

Actually, I don't have that App and App need OTP to register, SUddenly he asked me 50Thousand IDR. Then I paid him and entering the Airport.
