The Ride From Shimla To New Delhi In India Some Months Ago

The Ride From Shimla To New Delhi In India Some Months Ago

Having practically stayed in Shimla (Shimla Is In Himachal Pradesh State In India) for three days it was time to leave with little knowledge of local fief.  Leave Hotel at 8.20 am. Mr Mehtar Singh is kind enough to carry the bag which essentially doesn't carry any plane tag. Travails Of Air Travel Are Unravelling As Passengers Are Frequently Babbling. Go past Hotel Gulmarg and the green roof reminds me I have stayed here on earlier occasions when country was in the throes of spate of inventions. Go past Dayanand Public School. Here there is chanting/recitation of Mahamrityunjaya Mantra also known as Tryambakam Mantra and this is no less blessings. Leave Old Bus Stand at 8.45 and reach New Bus Stand at 9.03 with some sections having tree. Leave New Bus Stand at 9.30. Bus stops at 9.34. There is sighting of HP (Himachal Pradesh) College Of Education Airport Road Totu bus with a young woman wearing face mask boarding the same knowing fully well her future aim. At 10 Solan is 36 km and at 10.7 reach Shoghi, Kandaghat accessed at 10.42 and this place has been visited by flight crew. At 11.12 reach Old Bus Stand Solan with New Bus Stand accessed at 11.27 and after a while board another bus for Kalka which starts at 12 with no ringing of bell. At 12.27 reach Kumarhatti, at 12.37 Dharampur and at 12.45 reach a territory from where one can access Kasauli ( I As Well Visited Manki Point Lord Hanuman Temple In Kasauli) which has been visited by residents of Utah Town Tooele. 

Reaching Kalka

At 1.30 sight Thanks For Visiting Devbhoomi Himachal board erected much above the road. Reach Kalka at the same time with the entire journey no witness to anyone paying fine.  Automan Mr Sandeep who is very much disciplined takes me to Kalka Station and here station episodes have been witness to repeated enunciation. In the Refreshment Room take Veg Thali (Veg Food) followed by Britannia Chocochip Cookies and Pomegranate Juice and pay the dues. In the Refreshment Room there are Mr Gotu and Mr Ratnakar who would have associates residing in Senegal Dakar. Mr Gotu for one is ever smiling and retain him as he is out and out gem. In this very station meet Mr Sushil Kumar Yadav who hands over coffee and I remind him I visited this place for the first time in May-June 1995 when Narasimha Rao Govt In India very much thrived. 

Kalka Shatabdi Train Leaves Kalka

Kalka Shatabdi Train Leaves Kalka at 5.47 with sighting of a woman cop ticking off people for crossing railway track in a season when we come across wavering luggage rack. At 5.54 the train gains traction. Seeing white structures on hills reminds me of Goddess Vaishnodevi Shrine in Jammu And Kashmir State In India. We hope the assembled lot in Bhavan (Goddess Vaishnodevi Shrine) keep the place clean and it has round the year sheen. We Extend Good Wishes To Goddess Vaishnodevi Shrine. The train goes past slew of homes and New India Senior Secondary School where discipline is the rule. Sight Maruti 800 still functioning on Indian roads and train goes past spate of Gurdwaras. TTE (Train Ticket Examiner) Mr R P Meena checks ticket and at 6.06 comes Chandi Temple and little later come slums and we hope the people residing there are not in a disadvantage and not disturbed whatever be their age. 

Underpasses Begin To Appear

Three women can be spotted taking pictures of Kalka Shatabdi Train which runs even when it  rains. A fairly clean Chandigarh railway station comes at 6.17 and train leaves at 6.24 and here one can spot coaches of Madurai Chandigarh train which is parked in another railway track lane. A time would come when workers from Chandigarh would go to Madurai for work and assignment would be bulk. From 6.31 underpasses begin to appear, a little later comes Ghaggar and at 6.42 the train is in full flow as it is carrying passengers who are destined to meet Nizamuddin Station bro. Dappar Lalru comes at 6.47 and Lord Shiva Tall Idol In Blue can be spotted. At 6.50 comes Dhulkot. At 7 comes Ambala and at 7.40 Kurukshetra all fairly clean stations. At 8.31 comes Panipat and Sonipat at 9.05 with stoppages in all these stations on a new high. The train goes past Subzimandi Station at 9.36 and reaches New Delhi Railway Station at 10.10 when some could be spotted carrying varied colours of pen. The train ride to Delhi saw some young women playing cards and their blue attire suggesting it is worn from dawn to dusk and these very women enjoy moments of busk. The ride lasted a little over four hours and some sporting Australian Daks. As we essay this script our thoughts are on Jaisalmer and Jaisalmer Fort In Rajasthan State In India which is miles away from seaport Candia. Jaisalmer we hold in high esteem and hope the unfolding winters bring more sheen.
