Last month, I finally took that long overdue break. And what a refreshing experience it was! Today almost fifteen days later when I think about that time what is really vivid in my mind is our stay in Mussoorie. It goes without saying that it’s a beautiful place that boasts of nature’s bounty to the fullest. But that is not what I am going to write about here.
What has stayed with me even after all these days is that evening I spent in our hotel in Mussoorie. Relaxing in a chair in the sit-out, a shawl wrapped around me, a hot cuppa coffee in my hand, listening to Yanni and staring at the beautiful Doon valley before me -- no deadlines, no bosses, no appointments…only an eternal silence encompassing me.
And that evening even the regular Nescafe that the hotel served tasted out of this world. It’s going to be a long time before I get to spend an evening as quite and peaceful as that one again.
