How I Spent My Winter Break
This winter will always remain unforgettable throughout my life. My father took us to the beautiful hill-station of Shimla. Keats has rightly said 'A thing of a beauty is a joy forever.' My first experience with something real beautiful happened, when in the last week my father took the family to Shimla at the weekend.The drive from Parvanu to Shimla was a real treat to the eyes. On either side of the serpentine road breathtaking vistas of unmatched sylvan beauty soothed not only the eyes, but the restive soul also. Deep dells, with pure verdant slopes; idyllic, pastoral human settlements, glimpses of the far off white sheep grazing on the slopes of the mountains under the canopy of azure sky are the enthralling views one gets as a gift for coming to this paradise. I did not want the drive to end. As we neared Shimla, the mountains became taller and taller. The peace, tranquility, and spledour of Shimla and its surroundings were supernal. My father had intentionally got a hotel booked at a place where the nature was abundant. From the room window, the distant snow clad white mountains gave the illusion as if we are in a different world. At night we went on foot to the Mall road for dinner. First time in my life I saw the magnificence of the night sky. I did not know there were so many stars in the sky. Then the most wonderful thing happened! It began to snow. The cotton like flakes began to fall all around us. People began shouting and screaming out of joy. We were fully refreshed by our short stay at Shimla. I will always cherish the sweet memories of this excursion.
Last Winter vacations, I visited a historical city, Delhi. It was an adventurous and exciting experience. We went to Delhi by train wherein, we first went to our grandparent's house and then we rested for a few hours. Delhi has been known by different names during different periods. In an ancient period it was known as Indraprastha, medieval times it was known as Tughlaqabad. In Delhi, there are many monuments which are known for its history. There is the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Humayun Tomb, Jantar Mantar and Qutub Minar which makes the Delhi rich is history and glorious past of India is narrated through these monuments. Whereas, there are many wonders of modern time such as Rashtrapati Bhawan, parliament, Lotus temple and so forth.
Delhi's landmark is Red Fort which is built on the bank of Yamuna River. Shahjahan built the red fort, wherein he had a meeting with the public in one of its portion. Also, in modern time the prime minister of India hosts the flag of India at the red fort on every independence day.
Another major landmark of Delhi is India Gate which was built in the memory of soldiers who lost their lives during the first world war. India Gate is extended into the greater area and has become the picnic spot for people and tourists. Lastly, Delhi has become a major tourist attraction point as it is developed with the metro rails, museums, and center of shopping. Visiting Delhi was a very fascinating experience and the most memorable vacations ever.
