Kasauli Trip: A weekend in the lap of nature

We are youth of India who belong to biggest fraternity of working professionals. It's called technocrats. Guys and gals in branded denims and t-shirts, coming in cars and facing hell lot of cacophony each day. Sometimes they are culprit of causing this and sometimes victim. Then there is another face of coin. A place which is largely untouched by civilization, pleasant weather, greenery everywhere. No, I am not talking of heaven...this place is called Kasauli. It's just 60-70 kms far from Shimla. One can feel the clouds coming down like apsara(nymph) from heaven. You just want to grab it. I have never performed yoga but I am sure that sitting around those mountains gave me a lot of calmness as compared to yoga. I was just away from everyday tension. It was just that moment which I was living. A perfect weekend on which you just live each and every moment of your life. I remember an incidence when I was very tense and one of my friend suggested me that dont't think much about future and just live in present and focus on short term goals instead of long term. I would suggest: " Go to Kasauli dude!". Nothing better can happen if you are accompanied by friends. I was lucky for this. Laughing at every nonsense which we could do. I posed as statue, devta(as they call me) and what not. Only one word can describe it...AWESOME.
