The ride to Uttaranchal

The ride to Uttaranchal

It was a Wednesday i decided to leave for Uttaranchal. Took a bus from Kashmere bus depot. The bus  left at 4.45 pm. Going past Shastri Park, Seelampur and Mohan Nagar crossing. Perhaps before Mohan Nagar crossing there is a Modern Building factory. A series of trucks could be seen parked. Going past Sidheswar Nath Mandir with the board showing Dainik Jagran. Somewhere Agra is shown to be 220 kms away. In the first hour as the bus negotiates through a rough road , there are scores of people riding two wheelers with no helmet. Around 5.45 the bus goes past movieworld. Here movies at Rs 60 (gold Class) , movies at Rs 80 (premium Class) are shown, something not visible in New Delhi capital  With single screens all but gone.the multiplexes have honed the skills of those who believe in multitasking.
The bus reached Muradnagar at 6.02 pm. At 6.17 Modinagar water tank is seen.  A hoarding of 2 BHK, 21 lac onwards is seen.  At 6.30 the bus goes past Moniuddin Sugar Mill. Soon we come across a green belt that is thick and tempting. A greenery that eludes us from 4.45 to 6.30 pm. At 6.52 the board shows delhi 63 km away.
When the bus stops at Muzaffarnagar by pass for meals, the water at Sooravanshi food outlet is amazing. The taste and resonance that it leaves is quite appealing. Few areas in the national capital would have come across this rich form of water. Finally the bus reaches Dehradun a lttle after 11pm.

Again a share taxi ride from national capital to dehradun could be something to look at.
