Weekend Getaway!!

This isn't like my other posts with introspection on life or such..Just a simple account of a short, but wonderful weekend in Dehradun and Mussorie..

We ( this includes my bhaiya's and bhabhi and my lil nephew who actually likes me!!) left for dehradun at 4:30a.m. on saturday morning..Had an absolutely back breaking ( ask harsh bhaiya!) 7 hour journey..Took the wrong route i guess..Anyway..I don't remember going to ddun before, so i was amazed when we entered the town..It had an outlet of Yo! China!!!Not that i am particularly fond of that place, but it looked liked mini delhi (owing to its proximity to it i guess)..I guess i had the image of it being a small quaint town, but it even had a McD outlet (if you have been to bhopal, you'd know why i was surprised!)..Then rushed for lunch to a friends place..From there we departed to mussorie..We went to see this absolutely amazing piece of land on top of some mountain in the interiors of the city..I almost died seeing the route to that place!!God bless the people who drove us there..I have never seen a steeper, narrower drive to any place..There were actually places where one couldn't see how broad the road was after the turn!!It was soooooo scary!!!Anyway i don't kn ow if the place was worth the drive or not, but i do know that it was breath taking!!The view was just green luscious mountains with their peaks covered by clouds, magnificent green forests and absolutely blue skies!!!It was like heaven!!From there, i saw small, english style houses, covered by trees, in the mountains..I so wished i could live there..They would just be the most romantic places to snuggle up to someone and sit looking at oblivion..Its a wonderful thought!!

Anyway, after that, we just went home and crashed..Though i couldn't sleep even then!!Went for a sumptuous breakfast again and then left for here..This time, after gathering more knowledge about the routes, we took a much better and smoother way and reached back in 5 hrs!!That was it..Very short vacation i know, but i enjoyed it thoroughly..

It's good to have such getaways at times..Brightens Life!!:-)
