I said so in the first response, you see small family means smaller places to stay these days as every one cannot afford to have big houses to accommodate visiting guests. Therefore people avoid to stay with them during night and stay at hotel but if they are meeting them in day time is not all that bad.

You know sunil, I remember an incident that happened a few years ago.I was visiting Mumbai for a few days with my children and there were heavy rains when we arrived there, so much so that we could not reach the hotel we had booked.A relative came to my rescue inviting me and the children to his house which consisted of just hall,one bedroom and kitchen.They were so welcoming, caring making us feel comfortable and offering the bedroom to us...I was so very touched.Today we are the best of friends 1 It is just a matter of having a big heart rather than a big house which only few seem to have these days...

I know that but as you said you were booked in a hotel so that was an emergency. Besides I never said that people with smaller places have no big hearts, this is matter of adjustment only, from both sides.

Of course sunil :) I was just quoting an example as to how some people are accommodating inspite of everything and some dont do it even when they can do so..

And you were also trying to adjust because you knew that your relatives have not sufficient place to accommodate so you planned to stay in hotel. I have a self contained 1bhk apartment in Haridwar where I can go and stay but I would be killed if my wife's youngest sister who is an advocate there comes to know about it despite living in a flat with 3 grown up children.

You are most welcome to north, please let me know in case you need a guide/helper. I am good at this without charging any fee. Jokes apart, the inner peace is the key of visit to Haridwar despite being too crowded, and the next few weeks see about 5 lacks people walking to and fro Haridwar every day for famous Kanwar yatra.
