Shimla Trip

First week of May we went to Shimla, Delhi and Agra. We went by Toy Train from Kalka to Shimla. First time in my life I saw train breakdown. The train was late by three hours. I felt the train journey was very tiring.

It was too cold and it was raining in Shimla. We visited the JAKHOO TEMPLE, Tara Devi Temple. Also we visited Indian Institute of Advanced Studies former Viceregal Lodge.

We visited Sutlej River at Tatapani that is 55 km from Shimla. A dam is going to be constructed there and that area is going to be under water in few years. It was a nice experience to be on the bank of a river. It was rough even though there is less amount of water. I used spend time in Cauvery banks when I was in school. Nowadays there is no water in Cauvery. Even during the AdiPerukku, I am not able to see water in Cavery.

From Shimla we went to Agra. We went to Tajmahal and fort. We went to Lotus temple in Delhi and Zoo. Guru enjoyed the trip and I enjoyed the nine days and this was the first time I spent so much time with my family.
