 TRAVEL GUIDE TO SHIMLA


     Today, I am sharing with you a small travel guide to Shimla from Delhi.To go to Shimla from Delhi, first we can take a four hour train from Delhi and get off at Kalka station. From here after a short break, we can take the toy train from here to Shimla, which allows us to witness many scenic views of the hills. After reaching Shimla we can use either private taxis or the government public transport.As we stayed in The Grand Hotel Shimla, which was only a kilometer away, we took a private taxi. There was some distance to walk as there were many steps to get to the hotel.As we went during summer vacations, I would recommend you to pack light and cotton clothes and also essential water and snacks for the journey. It would also be good if you have a stick in hand to prevent monkeys from attacking. For food we can go to mall road in Shimla where various restaurants from Dominos to Indian Coffee House can be found. As for tourist locations Scandal point, Viceroy house, Jakhoo temple, Himalayan Bird Park, Ridge, Mall road, Town Hall and Mashobra Apple Orchards are some of the main places to visit.



    Commuting between all the nearby places is easy for, Scandal point, Town hall and Ridge are all on the mall road.The Himalayan Bird Park is just outside the Viceroy house and is not a must visit site, but if you have time you could visit it. Mashobra Apple Orchards, Jakhoo temple and Naldhera are the long distance places where you need to hire a taxi. I hope you will visit this wonderful place soon.

The Blue Umbrella RUSKIN BOND     I found this among some old books. I read this book about 6 years ago, but the vivid and colourful details Ruskin Bond puts in each story makes us remember it lifelong.This one is set in Garhwal, a hill village in Uttarakahand.Binya the protagonist of this novella is like any other brave village girl. She herds cows and has a very caring elder brother . But then comes the blue umbrella with the picnickers from the outside world which she hasn't ever seen. She falls for that blue silk umbrella and is even ready to give her lucky leopard claw away for that bauble.And the rest ... well for that you have to read the book. This simple novella turns each ordinary character from the village into a hero and gives them an oppurtunity to redeem themselves.

FRIGHT OR FLIGHT

  FRIGHT OR FLIGHT 'A corpse smiling at you in the middle of the night is not the most pleseant of experiences. It is calculated to give you goosebumps. And when the smile becomes an evil grimace, it is time to say your prayers. But there was no time for prayer. The smile widened even further, and...'           I hope the genre of this book needs no further introduction.  " Fright or Flight" is a spine tingling and blood curling collection of  horror stories put together by Ruskin Bond and published by the Rupa. But these are not the ghost tales you are expecting. These are the real tales of horror in life. Sometimes we may not be sure what time and nature has for us and even menial things can sometimes be a source to horror sometimes. You never know. Some of my personal favourites are 'The Last Match' by Edward Fitz- Gerald  Flipp , 'The Beast with Five Fingers' by W.F. Harvey and 'A Fright at Night' by Ruskin Bond. So whom would you want to
