The Queen of Hills -Day 1

The clock had been regular, regularly monotonous. It was as if life was demanding a change, therefore I like a city bird, fluttered my wings and flew away to the higher attitude, a distant land, to settle and be welcomed by royalty, to have a one on one with Shimla, "The Queen of Hills."

The journey started at four in the morning and it was around late afternoon that I reached my destination. The grandeur of nature tickled my mind and made me realize that beauty is not just about face value....its a beautiful feeling which can be measured with the kind of effect it has on you…and shimla sure casts a spell.After checking into my room, I peeped out of the window, a gust of cool wind embraced me, tickling my nerves and making my hair stand on their ends, it was indeed a spectacular sight. Huge mountains wrapped in a dark green cloak, with a faint red hue spread all around. It was magical. I often wonder how nature has such an enchanting effect that soothes our nerves, pumping in a fresh breathe of life. My fidgety city nerves calmed down and settled to experience the close encounter with nature…..It was a moment of transformation.

In came the twilight, slowly waking me up from the fusion of immaculate dreams poured on the canvas of nature which I was witnessing with wide open eyes. The fog settled on my eyelids, making them heavy and cradling me away to sleep…may be the night wanted to have a silent conversation….
Day two was yet to come..
