The stay in Shimla
The stay in Shimla was for three days. Starting on a Monday night and winding up on a Wednesday with sky yet to be dotted with kites. As for Monday musings nothing could be put on board except checking in the lodge where above the reception desk there seem to a be a watch. One Jagannath Gupta along with others were eager to help me and show direction from the bus stand and after a debate i decided to go with porters for whom carrying luggage was not much of a hesitation.
Tuesday began with an attempt to clear the bowel and in that energetic push the quantity inhaled led to a different and unexpected toll. Despite this unusual turn of event, i did not miss the opportunity to scan the shops and make a noting about their boss-turned-spouse.
Beginning with Indian coffee House , ICW Co op Society ltd Delhi. Next to the menu board suggestion book is available at cash counter. No smoking area. Smoking here is an offence. And here among those present were some debating the strengths of check dams and water that normally comes in tanks.

During the stay in the city had the opportunity to visit Jakhu temple.More than two kms from the ridge, the shared taxi option is there. Only one plies and there is a rush to get in successfully. At the Jakhu hill, the Jakhu temple had two new additions. First the small temple opposite Hanuman temple has a grandeur structure to its credit; second the all new tall statue of Lord Hanuman which is visible from the Mall.
The rush inside the temple was manageable and the priests were cooperative enough to look after devotees. The return journey was accomplished on foot and up and down trek is possible if one is comfortable with mokeys around.
On the day i left Shimla searched frantically for a green lodge where i stayed in April 2010. Was able to place the previous day, the next day it looked to be quite arduous.
Shimla to Delhi
Left Shimla old bus stand at 10.05 in the morning. The bus stand has counter 1 to 7. Opposite Counter no 6 the shop is manned by an old man who is helpful enough to part with water despite rampant scarcity. Here at the bus stand efforts should be made to provide water to the taps placed there. Pens in silver and gold colour come for rs5.
As the bus left it went past indian railways wood bank officers guest house. From a local bus hopped on to a ISBT bus. Left Shimla ISBT bus stand at 11.18. Reached Shoghi at 11.45, Kandaghat at 12.09, Solan at 1.03, Himachal border ends at 3 and reach Pinjore at 3.12. In Raskiya Bagh area nursery , Pinjore, it has a road reminiscent of Puri.
Reach Chandigarh bus stand sec. 17 at 3.45. Left at 4.25. At the Cold drinks & Snacks Shoppe the young boy hailing from Shimla at the desk is very polite.This Sec. 17 bus stand is fairly neat and tidy.
At 5.30 reach Jhagah. Going past Baba Nau Jhagah Peer Sayeed Ibrahim. Quarter to six go past ambala railway station. Though there are diversions on the way, they end after herbal park (probably ghauraunda).
At 8.20 reach Delhi which in the first ten days had rains barely. As rains make some appearance, there is every likelihood that it won't be of the scale that Mcleodganj and Leh can sense. Even if it comes close to that most would be willing to bat.
