NOVICE IN NANITAL

 NOVICE IN NANITAL.
Strange name to start a blog post. But it is true for me, as I was passing through a crucial juncture in my life. And It did turn out to be a new beginning for me. That refreshing air worked as balm on my pain.

Unfortunately my mother passed away in the last week of February/15. And I was struggling to come out of that shock. 
 We (trio) decided to go to Nainital, a hill station situated in India. I knew it in my heart that I had to go, as it was now or never situation for me. Now this "trio" consist of two middle aged women accompanied by a young corporate. We must be presenting strange picture to onlookers. We two sisters and our young niece. The news of our going to Nainital spread like fire in her office, her colleague were very apprehensive, and were trying their best to reach out and help her. From our hotel booking to sorting out good eating joints with all the do's and don'ts fell on their already burdened shoulders. Their sympathies were naturally with our  niece. They were under this impression that she had taken a insurmountable project in her hand like accompanying two aunts, out of which one was visiting from USA and the other one was wincing in pain. So there was a constant updating from her base camp (office in Delhi).
For me this visit indeed proved NEW BEGINNING.
NanideviTempl -this is very old temple and very
famous shakti temple of Goddess Durga.
Nainital is a beautiful hill station in northern India. The whole town is named after "Goddess Naini Devi". There is Naini lake also just in the middle of town adding beauty to it, It is adjustant to a big ground adorned with Temple, Gurudwara and Mosque. The far away mountain view is picturesque.
Night view of Naini lake and mall road.
It gives the impression as if some lady is adorned with gold and diamond jewelry.

Our main focus was on finding good restaurants and Nanital does have quite a few of them on its main mall road.,  We did go to tiffin top and enjoyed  the awesome view of far away Nani Peak. And our outdoor activities included taking selfies, laughing at stupid jokes and taking a stroll down the mall.

Boat house. We had very tasty dinner here.

So after having absolutely fun and good food for three days, we came back to Delhi.

SAVING TREES

The recent news to cut down 16,000 trees by the Delhi Govt for housing project jostled me. This is like giving away lungs to save heart. ...
