...the first thing we did after reaching Dehradun was eat as all were feeling ravenous.The night was spent peacefully but the next day again started with waking up early in the morning, qeueing up for the bathroom, fighting for turns and finally getting ready to go!!
We went to SBSPGI first and were greeted by one of our seniors working there.The whole atmosphere was quite informal and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
That very day we visited the Forest Research Institute.The greenery all around was indeed a treat to the eyes.In the evening we were left on our own to go around the Paltan market.It was time for shopping and no one complained.
The next day we set off for Mussoorie...Sahastradhara and Kempty Falls fell in the way and we had a gala time. Nature was as its breathtaking best!!
By the time we actually reached Mussoorie it was evening...there we got to know that the ropeway was getting renovated and thus the whole exercise seemed futile.It all turned out to be a huge disappointment.
The last day at Dehradun was spent at the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped(NIVH). It was an overwhelming experience for all of us to see the visually challenged kids and adults performing various tasks efficiently.
Tht very day we left for Allahabad - our final destination.
Anand Bhawan - Pandit Nehru's residence took us back in history.
Early next morning we visited the Sangam - confluence of the three rivers, Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati(the invisible river said to be flowing beneath the earth).The waters of the Ganga and Yamuna could easily be distinguished and it was wonderful to see them merge.
After the holy sojourn we visited the Leprosy Mission Hospital at Naini.The doctors there cleared our myths regarding patients suffering from leprsoy and it was some learning experience for all of us.
Finally it was time to leave for indore.Everyone was happy to be going back home but felt sad too for the journey was about to end.All those moments we'd spent together would be etched in our memories forever!!
For me it wasnt just a tour but an experience that made me realise the value of everyone around me...how lucky and blessed i was to be surrounded by all my loved ones!!!So for me,
Life isnt about finding faults,
u simply need some adjustment
Life isnt really bad,
just try living every moment
Life's all about learning to smile
and staying happy all the while!!!
