Question

Essay A Journey by bus

Answer 1

Last year during summer vacation our family went to Mussoorie to spend some time in the cool environment amidst the greenery and the mountains. We all were really excited to spend the vacation there. We began our packing a week ago and the entire houses got caught up in the excitement. Reservations for train berths were made up to Dehradun. From there we had to travel by road. So we all were all the more excited about the uphill journey to Mussoorie. Time was really dragging very slowly. We could hardly wait for the final day of departure.

The train was in the late night. We did a final checking of all the items we had to take. We made sure we had packed all the necessary things. We kept our camera and walkman in our kanapsacks. We had our dinner and headed towards the Railway station. The train was on time and so we boarded it and settle down. The excitement all day had chased away our sleep. Yet after an hour or so we forced ourselves to sleep so that we can enjoy the bus ride the next day. We reached Dehradun by 10 in the morning. Then from there we headed for the bus station and bought tickets for ourselves.

The bus too was very comfortable. We ate the packed breakfast and bought some snack-chips and cold drinks for the way. The weather too was very pleasant. The bus started at the right time. We were fortunate to get window seats and so we all sat together in anticipation of an exciting journey.
