Shimla "Queen of Hills"


Shimla (Queen of Hills) its name of goddess 'Shayamla Devi', which is one more appearance of Goddess Kali. Shimla has been blessed with all the natural beauty, any one can think of. residence on a panoramic spot, the hilly town is bounded by green pastures and snow- peaks. Shimla is very different from other hill stations. Shimla is capital of Himachal Prades it is located in the north west Himalayas

On 26 Jan it was sudden plan to Shimla. It was usual day when I woke-up. and no doubt it was holiday too. But after couple of hours I had pull up my shocks to Shimla. Till 2 o’clock I have not made any reservation, within in half an hour I had done the reservation Delhi to Kalka and Kalka to Shimla via Shivalik Dlx Exp (a toy train). At night we started our journey, it was not very comfortable night, because of the hectic day schedule. But when we reached at Kalka and we started our journey Kalka to Shimla the all tiredness was gone. But I did a mistake, I forgot to bring my Camera, therefore all the picture was taken by my mobile.




A toy train was different train compare to other train. It was wonderful experience. Out side view from our toy train is also very beautiful. Train was passing through mountains and offers beautiful views on the way. Inside the train pantry service is good not very good. In this train almost people seems that they are going for holiday young couple, old couple, families and children. They all were looking so excited, I was too, This was first time for me to visit Shimla. Before this whenever i planed for any hill station, first name come to my mind is Shimla, and this was the time when i was about to see that place.

I had not booked any hotel before departure to Shimla, because I know in Shimla we will find lots of good hotel, it up to you to decide what type of hotel you looking for. I saw many hotels than I have chosen hotel Clarks, it is very near to the mall street. The Mall of Shimla is the key attraction for the tourist as it is the core to a large number of shops. The mall is the most happening place of Shimla, as several of its restaurants and bars act favourite meeting point of the town. Next to the Mall of Shimla are the Tibetian and the Lakkad bazaar. Besides it is also the biggest shopping centre of Shimla. There is many interested place to see around the Mall like Scandal Point, General Post Office, Kali Bari Temple , Christ Church ( The famous Christ church & St. Michael's Cathedral of Shimla is a beautiful architectural masterpiece) , Jakhu Hill. and many more. Well no doubt in Shimla there you will find many religious places like few i have already mentioned and few are Bhimakali Temple, Sankat mochan Temple , Tara Devi Temple.



I really forgot to mention that on this trip I was with my wife along with my loving in-laws (Ma-Baba). So of course i had to take them all religious place...at least few of them. First day we just visited few temples and church. And just liked to walk only in mall street. One place that you cannot ignore is definitely the Mall Road in Shimla. The mall road of Shimla is very beautiful and different then other hill station's mall road. Thank god my wife at least likes something in Shimla, otherwise her views about this place is not very good. She says other hill stations are much much better than this Shimla... here nothing to see except the big crowd. Let's again come to the mall road,

The Mall road of Shimla is full of shops that sell woollen clothes, handicraft items, pottery items, stones jewellery, woollen caps etc. Yes you easily won't find any branded clothes, but who goes to mall road to buy branded clothes, in my opinion we all like to buy from any hill station only those things which relates to their culture. So am I, we buy some woollen caps, handicrafts etc. at late night what we found is every restaurant and Dhaba's in mall road were full of crowd.... and it took very difficult for us to find out any restaurant to eat. Please pay attention... here i am not talking about any good restaurant, i am just talking about any of there restaurant. Those all were packed and it took almost 3hrs for us to get the table to eat something. after having our dinner we marched to the hotel, it was about 11:30pm and there were no one on the street. It was end of the day one.

It was UFO light ? Or something else ?

On 11th March 2010 @ 02:49 I was coming from Airport. I called my wife to open the main Gate and I was waiting outside to open the door. When I was looking into the sky than I saw UFO searchlight coming from East. Firstly my reaction was very normal, but when I saw that light carefully than I realize it was not a normal light it was something else. It was running very fast, so it was very clear to me it was not an Aeroplane or A Rocket. It is something else. I also showed to my wife. She was also very shocked when she saw in the vast sky. I'm dammm sure it was not normal thing.
Unfortunately I was not able to take any picture of UFO search light. I do not have any evidence to proof my statement and because of this it is very hard to believe, but believe me it is true n real story.

My Goan Experience


Swaying palms, white sands and sparkling waters: the three essential elements that attract 2 million visitors annually to Goa’s balmy shores are plentiful in this tiny, glorious slice of India hugging the country’s western coastline and bounded by the Arabian Sea.

First We had stayed in Captain Lobo’s Beach Hideaway. Capt.Lobo’s Beach Hideaway is ideally located on a stretch of the Baga Beach and near to Calangute Beach. Well its not a very luxury hotel but also a well maintained & no doubt his plus point is it’s a beach property. On very second day we shifted to another Hotel Sun Village, well no doubt because of my wife… b’coz she doesn’t like to stay at normal hotel.

The so-called New India was out in full force. Well-heeled local tourists from Mumbai and Bangalore poured in by the thousands for the holiday: mixed gender groups dancing the night away, young entrepreneurs flashing cash and ordering bottle service. I even saw a precious few Indian women avail themselves of the ocean. But, surprise, surprise, by far the largest demographic – outnumbering even the Russians on package tours.


After breakfast proceed for a North Goa tour. Visit Miramar, Dona Paula, Calangute, Baga Beaches, also visit Fort Agoda etc. In the evening return back to our hotel for night stay.

Last two days we went to South Goa, the reason behind the we were tried and we want to relax. In South Goa in found its actually very calm and beautiful. People are so sophisticated in South Goa. It was Sunday they were coming with their family. You will hardly found any unmarried crowd in South Goa. Me and my Wife enjoyed a lot in North Goa n South Goa but two mine friend not enjoyed in South Goa

We were four freinds and we enjoyed a lot. In another words we had a Great Great Great time in Goa. Those days were unforgettable days. We will always remember this trip for long n life long.
