A memorable holiday
There are many memorable moments in every man’s life. However, a few of them get indelibly etched in our memories. One of my most memorable moments is associated with a wonderful holiday. Holidays means travelling to new places, fun, no burden of studies, and just relaxing doing nothing. Travelling breaks the monotony of our routine. Thank God, there are so many beautiful places visiting which, we forget all the stresses and cares of our life! I got an opportunity to travel to one such place of extreme natural beauty, where peace and the pristine pastoral charm has not been affected by the modern industrial competition. During the summer vacation, I got the chance of visiting Dharamshala and the adjoining spots.
We set out early in the morning. The heat of the season began dwindling as our car went up the serpentine roads in the Himalayas. We reached Dharamshala in the afternoon, and finding the place teeming with tourists, we decided to put up at Chamunda Devi. We luckily got a hotel literally far from the madding crowd!
The sylvan surroundings around the hotel were as bucolic as described by Wordsworth in his poems. There was a tall mountain standing grandly just in front of the hotel at whose foot gargled a rivulet. There were no rows of houses; no honking traffic. To add more joy to our felicity, it rained very hard that day. The climate was so agreeably cold, we did not feel the need of switching on even the fans. We were refreshed physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. As Keats has rightly said, ’A thing of beauty is a joy forever!'
