Towards the Pride of India - An Unforgettable Journey to the Statue of Unity
Assalam-O-Alaikum friends,
Yesterday was one of the most memorable days of our lives as we got the opportunity to see the Statue of Unity, a magnificent statue built in memory of the pride of India, the Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This trip was not just a sightseeing experience but also a unique experience to connect with the history and beauty of nature of the country.
Morning time is the most important time in preparing for the journey.We all got up early so that we would not be late in catching the train.It was a little cold outside, but the temperature of excitement in the mind was very high.Breakfast was prepared quickly.Hot tea, bread-butter and potato parathas.Everyone was excited and an atmosphere of laughter and fun was present in the entire house.After having breakfast, we left for the station. On the way, light rays of the sun were spreading in the sky, as if the new day was giving us the gift of happiness.
After boarding the train excitement was clearly visible on the faces of the children.The cool breeze coming from the window and the changing view outside was making the journey even more beautiful.The fields, the mountains, and the small stations everything was very charming.In between, the voices of tea vendors and snack sellers were adding a different color to the atmosphere.We all talked a lot in the train, took photographs and enjoyed the journey by laughing and joking.Slowly the train started reaching closer to its destination.Statue of Unity at the station.

As soon as we reached the campus we got goosebumps after seeing the 182 meter high statue of Sardar Patel in front. The heart was filled with pride after seeing such a huge statue.There was cleanliness greenery and vibrant energy all around.The blue water of the lake, the backdrop of the mountains and the glow of that tall statue were all mesmerizing.We took many pictures there with the family.Sometimes in front of the statue, sometimes near the lake.Every click in the camera was saving a new memory.
After this we went towards Flower Garden.The heart became happy after seeing the beauty there. Flowers like marigolds,sunflowers and lilies had made the entire atmosphere colorful.The fragrance of flowers coming from everywhere was soothing to the mind.We took many pictures of the flowers.Every flower was smiling as if telling us Nature is the greatest artist.
After flowers we visited nearby Eco Park. There were also some small animals and birds.Like peacocks, rabbits, parrots and deer. When the peacock spread its wings, the scene was so beautiful that everyone just kept looking at it for a few moments.The children enjoyed a lot and were at the forefront in taking pictures of the animals.
After this we went to the museum where there was an exhibition related to the life and contribution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Seeing his role in uniting the princely states and his contribution to the unity of India, a wave of pride ran in the heart.It was a learning experience for the children — lessons in patriotism, leadership and determination.

After roaming around so much my stomach also reminded me that now is the time to eat something good.We went to a nearby restaurant where the environment was very clean and beautiful.There we ordered delicious fish and rice.The aroma of fresh fish and spices spread across the table.Every bite seemed to take away the tiredness.The cool breeze outside along with the delicious food this lunch also added to the beautiful memories of our trip.After having food, we took some rest and then continued exploring the surrounding areas.
While returning home, we saw all the pictures of the day in the train. Of flowers, of animals, of lakes and of statues.Every picture was a story.A smiling face a beautiful sight and a memory that was now settled in our hearts.This visit was not just a visit but an experience of life. We realized that this visit to the Statue of Unity has become an unforgettable memory for us.The fragrance of flowers the taste of delicious fish-rice the cool breeze of the lake and the grandeur of the huge statue of Sardar Patel.Everything has settled in our hearts.This place is not only worth visiting but also inspires every Indian that if we all are united no goal is impossible.
THANK YOU
