As i left the national capital for Dharmshala
AS i left the national capital with very few people in the departure terminal, the ride was aboard Himachal Road Transport Corporation bus ( HP 2696). The bus showed its willingness to leave the ISBT Kashmere Gate Terminal at 7.45 in the evening . With seat number 9 under my grip, the visible and not that visible commuters gave me the confidence that ride lasting 12-odd hours would be completed with fewer sighting of sizeable cars. The bus went past gandhi vihar and burari and the halt at traffic intersection with Burari on right and Azadpur on left was consuming enough to throw you in a state of consternation. The bus was on National Highway 1 and all that this N.H. was subjected to was overtaking by cars of smaller denomination from the left with fewer ever willing to blow horn and go past other vehicles from right. THough other denomination vehicles were too playing truant but it were the mini cars with occupants not accustomed to spend sizeable hours that saw the maximum set out for left overtake stake.
THe one seated on window seat 7 was belly-strong to catch sleep here and there. Two teens yet to get familiar with teen tribulations were ahead of me and they decided to speak and soak the experience only after the commute was two hours old. At Panipat the bus was on an elevated stretch with Dainik Bhaskar Panipat the signboard i could sight different from the sighting of cool drinks in Sewapur in Karnal which was accessed at ten fifty-five. Here lassi and soda lemon was tried and one should not be open to the idea of an unlimited version.
Ambala station came at 12 20 am with a familiar sight of people squatting on the approach road. Just before Chandigarh the check post beginning with letter J (the name is hard to collect) we were witness to a vegetable mini truck driver handing something to a traffic personnel. It was hard to make out the exchange but it could have been the old way for a smooth passage past check post. Chandigarh was accessed at 1.10. and here the The Tribune with IIT entrance declaration that had a powerful gaze. At Chandigarh bus stand, some could be seen in a state of discomfort as they vomitted following their exposure to searing heat. Hazards of travelling in the searing heat most of us are familiar with and at Chandigarh bus stand i was disposed to the idea of a vanilla treat.
Anandpur Sahib came at 2.40 in the morning. It was in the vicinity of Aanandpur Sahib the bus went past railway track on two different occasions. Twenty minutes later the first sign of Dharamshala and its very famed existence was brought on board when a hoarding showed 179 kms away the reigning fort. Ten minutes later another signboard showed 147 kms away making it more difficult on how far the destination.lay. Nangal was accessed at 3.30. As Nangal municipality limit ended there was a toll barrier where a private car occupant ahead of us had to indulge in a transaction with no receipt whatsoever. Here some need to set the house in order as this would make more privatewallahs repeat the same folly and hand out the fodder .
As the bus left Nangal , Dharmshala was shown 136 kms. Una comes at 3.40 and next to the bus stand there was a posse of women personnel.stationed early morning. More women personnel need to be stationed at toll barriers like the one after Nangal for sanity to prevail. Soon after Una the sight of dishevelled road comes to the fore. The bus goes past AMB Andora station at 4 25 and few minutes later the ascent begins. Chintpurni comes at 5.
On the way to the final destination the stoppages are at jwalamukhi, kangra and a slew of other places. The belly-strong guy and another one who was with him got down at Jwalamukhi and their department antecedents showed their polite conduct and not crossing the fence. They were replaced by other set of passengers; majority comprising of those going to school.
The HRTC bus ride was not that discomforting and only when winding roads come before and after Kangra one has to be careful to keep from all stomach trouble. The boy sitting at the rear end vomitted, perhaps to do with the food intake he had just before boarding the bus. When the bus reached Dharmshala the sight of those with chai ka pyala was not plentiful as most had to adhere to other morning rule. The peaks and those with booming cheeks shows the rich fabric the town is woven with ever ready to shut out those who come with terror toes.
