The erstwhile summer capital of British India, Shimla is a place that seems to be stuck in that era. It is a major tourist destination of the state and a wonderful place to spend a week or two.
But I happened to live there through two winters. Coming from the hot southern part of the country, it was initially difficult to adjust to the bone-chilling coldness of the place. It became worse as it snowed. Snow becomes slippery as it sets and you have to be really careful if you do not want to break your leg or sprain your ankle or have a fracture in your wrist.
Summers are really pleasant, however. They take away all the bad experiences you have had and overcompensate for any trouble you have had. If you have a garden, spring would be beyond belief.
The people are honest, unlike most of the rest of the country. This is a place where you can calmly forget to lock your doors and still feel relaxed.

I read your posts and it found to be interesting... Guess your really a social woman. . Am I right???
Deep in my heart, I prefer solitude to being in a crowd. But, at the same time, I feel the need to stay connected. Sounds confusing, I think.
Obviously... Your from thrissur???
Nope. Staying in Thrissur for official purpose. Will leave soon.
