The dal lake that was not dull
Despite a string of rain revelations i decided to head to Dal Lake in the evening. Bench strength of those seated close to Bhagsu Taxi Union Office suggested that there were very few people going in that direction. Just above the bus terminal is the auto stand which clinically spells out the destinations that an autowallah would enable you to cover with a seating capacity of three. This auto stand i can see from the top where the benches are and i decide to try it on foot. The roads are not that wide but still permissibly strong to let two vehicles pass each other.
First noticeable contribution is shown by Gorkha Rifles who have managed to put in place water thunder at one of the spots. Enquiries on how far and how easily i would be able to access Dal Lake point to the TCV School thrust that has been the benchmark of educational inroads in Mcleodganj and the vicinity. Splintered groups going in the opposite side can be seen at different intervals suggesting they headed to the lake quite early.
Once i am in the precincts of TCV School, the message is loud and clear that Dal Lake isn't that far and what all i can see is a steep climb coupled with winding roads. There are shops at different turns with most dealing in cell commitment, with equal gathering of kirana stores and tours and travel roar. One cyber cafe i spot which recommends 40 rs an hour usage. Those manning the Vijay Luxmi confectionery and Jaaved Gift shop are a true picture of delight. It is 6 25 in the evening and i reach Dal Lake when showers for the evening haven't kissed the earth in the most imaginative way.The spread of the lake and those spread out across is not a tale of boast and the picture starts falling in place once showers begin and i have to take a cover in a structure housing Mahadev Mandir flanked by a tea stall; all opposite the lake. Revealed during conversation is the lake that has gone for a turnaround as far as depth and size is concerned. Tiles have been put to ease pedestrian movement.
With rains failing to abate i decide to walk back with no luck as far as getting a lift is concerned. Next to ML Station D'sala is etched a signboard 276. A restricted area suggesting that one needs to prove identity before stepping in. By the time i reach my destination i am drenched and deserving.
