The ride from Dharamsala to Palampur
It was a day defined as Saturday when i decided to leave Dharamsala for Palampur. No sooner i had reached the place where the road dissects with one going towards bus stand and another going to Kotwali Bazar the private buswallah shed his private existence and tried to rope in as many willing and viable passengers on his transport. Though the bus was not headed towards Palampur, including me he got a sizeable sum and here i regretted the decision. At 12: 35 as the bus left Dharamsala, Chamunda was shown 15 kms. Going past Souli Khad Bridge and Primary Health Centre Dari, the bus would effectively stop at every effectively raised bus stand and in effect give its assent to accretion of commuters with any disposable rant. Manjhi Khad bridge, Sant Nirankari Satsang and Gyuto Monastery the bus went past them interspersed with ad declarations of Bright Career Science Academy and Yahan Pe Taxi Ke Liye Sampark Karein. Yol Cantt Rising Star Corps covered by Heritage Wall 1943 showed the historical import followed by Shri Chamunda Devi Primary Health Centre.
As the conductor with a sizeable conduct to get in and out from front and back gates for umpteen times was not sizeably prudent to hand out ticket for the cash furnished, it sizeably proved that for private buses the ticket was as good as given once cash had been handed. As promised Malah came at half past one and there was another bus waiting to take the sizeable slept and left passengers to Palampur. Here too after a request had been made the ticket could be gained. Perhaps the rule here is no matter the sizeable size of journey for private and govt buses the ticket is least likely to cross fences; more and more true for private buswallahs. From Malah the first major halt happened to be Paror (1.45pm). In the entire D'sala-P'pur commute the two buses would have crossed bridges with little water underneath illustrative of the times we are in and the receding water that no one is finding fun. Just after two we reached Palampur and post meals i was told that Subhas Chowk would get me the bus for Neugal Cafe. On foot it can be covered and once you are in the market road there is a rope that defines the pedestrian space.
The Neugal Cafe bus started once all commuters had been seen sitting, standing and some disposed to the idea of fainting. Under 20 minutes i was in Neugal Cafe not known for notoriety but equally missing for any variety. It was at a shop adjacent to Sargrai Enterprises i had lemon soda which was dutifully prepared by an old gentleman who seem to be resigned to the idea of fewer customer and none of them happening to be a bummer. The board across the road showed Neugal Cafe 200 mtrs and Saurabh Van Vihar 1.8 kms. On the way i came across an old man in a blue outfit who had a stick perhaps scanning the water released from upper reaches.Wished him well and hope his tribe swell.
Once positively aligned to my real positioning in Neugal Cafe, it provided scenic surroundings but not amply strong to keep you binding. It has a resemblance to Kodanada Viewpoint near Kotagiri in Udhagamandalam in Tamil Nadu. Except for few bright elements boasting of beer in a secrecy surrounding their share, the place hardly looked imaginative except for those who imagined a dip in the water here would be beneficial as it stored the quantity more than a quarter. On foot i decided to take the return journey which i broke at a place about 700 mtrs away where tea had been stored in a kettle outside just opposite the tea gardens which none fear. Here the teawallah and his family with miniscule earnings looked to me a man with prized thoughts, if possible once should try tea which is placed in a turn of sorts. Any purchase from his store would help him to keep his life sure. On foot the most energetic space i discovered was St Paul's Senior Secondary School which has in its vicinity a road that has thick trees lined on either side.
Here in Palampur the softie comes for 10; the tea from Rotary Club can be tried as well. The walk to the Palampur bus stand was energetic enough to keep me energised for a while. Once the wait for a govt bus began i began to sense the situation i was in and it took me almost four hours to get in a mood to swing and sing.
