We are the luckiest people in the world! Whether we go to Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata, the moment we say 'Dehradun' everybody looks at us with awe, admiration and envy. And why wouldn't they; we live in a quiet (okay, not so quiet any longer), small and beautiful valley with a glittering crown on its head - Mussoorie.
Umpteen times, when cousins or friends visited us from Delhi and elsewhere, the showcasing of the shimmering lights of Mussoorie used to be a special event on the terrace. The pride that we feel when people ask us about Dehra dun, Mussoorie and various other things related to Doon, is very genuine. And a Doonite will all his life be a Doonite at heart, where ever he may live in the world. Such is our attachment to Doon.
Ah! we love our Doon. Where else can a half-hour ride transport you to deep forests, vast open fields, meandering streams and gushing waterfalls, idyllic hillocks and glades - perfect places to spend a Sunday picnic. A Doonite gets typically restless as soon as Friday comes. His day and evening teas are spent discussing the options to go places this weekend. I'm sure as you read this, you will say, "Not any longer; things are so busy these days". And you will remember those days, when you did precisely the same - chalk out your Sunday picnics and outings. >>keep reading...
