Our place seemed like a Paradise on earth as the bus travelled through the narrow roads. I can always sense a lot of nostalgia as my home village is a hill station,all long pine trees in the side of the road and different types of wild flowers bloomed.

Bus passed many hairpin bends and small villages ,entered the beauty of Chandragiri.

It was a pleasant morning, little misty but sun rays was peeping through the clouds as I yawned.As I couldn't sleep a bit watching the scenarios on the way.

And the atmosphere was just too fantastic to have a cup of tea in the misty mountains of Chandragiri.I was watching the serene beauty of the place and inhaling the freshness of the air, without any kind of pollution.

There is a thin line of water cascading down from the top of the misty mountains.The bus crossed several small waterfalls in the way.The roads facing waterfalls were been made of small cement blocks other than using tar and metal.It was for avoiding accidents during heavy rains, when the waterfalls flow dangerously crossing the roads.

The bus passed through a small bridge across a small stream. The sound of the stream flowing beneath the bridge felt like a sweet music to Khushi's ears, as she felt herself engulfed by the Mother Nature.

The bus crossed the stream as we can see tea plantations on one side and the other side orange trees. The workers were busy plucking the tea leaves and I watched some workers plucking the oranges from the trees, as they balanced themselves on the bamboo ladders.

She took in a long breath as after getting out of the bus, and started walking.She clutched onto her tiny bag in her hand walking swiftly through the curvy roads towards her home.
