Coming Home


As in last post we have covered the first part of Mussorie, now it is the time to move on and catch another one. When I descended down from Laal Tibba, I had in mind to go and see Gunhill point as suggested by my new friend from Delhi (I don’t know his name). I reached starting station of Gunhill Point, and saw a queue of people waiting for their turn. I asked people how much time it will take so that my turn comes, they said min 2hrs. It was 6pm that time. I thought if I go to this point, I won’t be able to return Dehradoon today, as the last bus from Mussorie leaves at 8pm. In that case I had to get a room in Mussorie only, and room charges were high. 
There was no meaning in staying there for a single spot. So I cancelled Gunhill Point, ab bhaiya Mussorie tak aaye aur sirf 1 point dekh kar chal de to mazaaa kya aayga. So I grabbed a burger, since it was the only parcel thing available at the nearest shop, and searched a ride which will take me to Company Garden and take me back within 1hr. So that I still have time to catch the bus easily. I found a cycle Rickshaw waala , I told him my situation, he said OK, ill take u back within an hour. The deal was fixed for rs200. I had to spend a big amount because I had to come back immediately. I sat on Rickshaw like a King, put my bag on the backseat, in 1 hand I had Burger, while in other I had Maaza. Ohh man what a feeling it was, riding alone in the mountains of Mussorie. I leaned backwards like we lie on bed with legs downwards and closed my eyes. The cold breeze was touching me, I was feeling too good at that time. Faces of my closed ones flashed in front of me, I just wished that, they could have been here with me. The fun would have increased 10 times.

I reached Company Garden, took ticket of Rs15 and got in. As I got in the Garden, I traversed every part of garden. In real I was actually running in the whole garden, time kaha thaa aaram se ghumne kaa. I must say it was a good garden, in case you like garden, nature, flowers just as me. Large trees, multicolor flowers all were just awesome. You can have a small feel of the place by having a look on the pics. I completed the whole place in 15mins, and I got back to my cycle rickshaw. And I must add jaise raaj shahi andaaz me garden tak gaya thaa vaise hi andaaz me vapas Mussorie tak aaya. Driver dropped me near bus station. I thought to go first to Dehradoon and catch Dehradoon-indore train in morning. But then I have to stay at some place in night, railway station was not a god option as someone told me that Dehradoon railway station gets closed in night. But as I reached bus station, I got to know that there is a bus from Mussorie direct to Delhi. Rest story in next part
