The rain seems to have suddenly stopped and we are blessed with great sunny weather. I could even see certain parts of the kanchenjunga range this morning. Blessed are we to be living in such a beautiful place. Blue skies, candy floss clouds, green hills... so colourful. Feels so good to be alive on days like this, everyone seems to be happy and cheerful. Chowrasta is full of people lazing around or taking walks around the mall. Children out for horserides and teenagers gorging on ice creams and soft drinks. Lovers crossing hands and trying to the live the moment to its full. Can't even dream of getting a place on the sun deck of Keventer's! Housewives freaking out trying to finish washing their clothes and drying quilts and pillows on verandahs and walls. And the evenings, they are something to die for, so many different shades and hues painted all over...
I guess this is what the real Darjeeling actually is and not the negatives that we talk about all the time. Can we spare time to observe and soak in the beauty of nature sometime and be thankful that we live in such a beautiful place...?

Hi Aqua,
Glad you liked my blog. Will try and tell positive stories about Darjeeling, cos there's already so much negative around. Someone's got to be optimistic
