Visit to Shimla & Chail

“Far from the maddening crowd
Far from the stress and rush
Closest to oneself
Closest to Mother Nature”

 


“Walking around the hills
Mesmerized by the beauty around
The greenery surrounds and flowers abound.
The happy eyes enchanted by the divine skies
One inspired soul, enriched by the greatness of nature so pure”


 

“The mountains, the green, the air so fresh
The drizzling, the fragrance, the life refreshed”

 
 

I am very fond of hill stations. I have lived amid mountains for almost 7 years.
The mountains fascinate me. They make me feel alive. They are my source of inspiration. I wish I could spend my entire life at some hill station.

I visited Chail and Shimla a few days back, Shimla has some charm that you wish to visit it again and again. But this visit saddened me a bit. What I saw was some extensive commercialization along with it what’s making things worse is the garbage, we the tourists throw here and there. Is it wise? Are we so illiterate and uneducated, are we forgetting that waste needs to be thrown in the bin? This is one such basic learning that we need to keep our surrounding clean.  We all know ‘what goes around comes around’ eventually we will have to bear the consequences of all our wrong doings. Wake up, as it’s the final call from our mother nature. Pledge to do all possible efforts in keeping our nature free from any sort of waste and pollutants.

  7. Shimla was beautiful. In the name of commercialization, we have reduced our cities into concrete jungle and worse, we use our city as a dust bin.

    Beautiful verses and btw, which hill station you've lived in?

      This is indeed sad that we throw waste here and there making our cities dirty.

  8. Mountains fascinate me too, I long for them often. We did a bit of hike last weekend...had to drive to reach mountain-area though ☺️

    Lovely memories you have, with beautiful shots. I wish we keep our places clean...not just important ones.
