Mussorie to Delhi

View from Top

As you already know, I was going to Delhi from Mussorie and I got a bus too. But the hit: I had a note of rs500, but in mussorie, no one had khulle rupee, I literally had to visit 10 shops to get khulle rupee. The ticket was 300rs. Finally I got that on 11^th shop. I already had reserved my seat in the bus. Now I was moving from Mussorie to Delhi. Now I would like to share some incidents of the bus. In the bus I found two-3 more friends. One was a person from IAS training facility of Mussorie. He told me how he feel like when he treats collectors. He said “honge collector apne area me hamare saamne to just ek student hai.”

One more friend was a kid. He was cool, since he had to vomit so he changed his seat and moved towards window seat. He offered me toffee too.

Now the third person was from Goa, he was going to join Cruise. He told me the best time to visit Goa is after October.

Well there’s not a lot to write about this trip, as I was sleeping for most of the time.

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
