Beyond Dehradun once more - to celebrate Durga Puja We went again to this place after my heart, this time to celebrate Durga Puja. Quote:

The same route to go, but the road condition was not so pleasant this time. Too many speed-breakers, and seems like folks are getting smarter (I should not have spoken about this route on an open forum ), so too many cars and not enough space to pass. This time the Swift went, and maybe because of its stiffer suspension, maybe because of the new rattles that started up, maybe because there was more traffic and bumps than I cared for, the journey was a tad more tiring than usual.
Interestingly, there was fog on the way - not usual for this time of the year.
Lots of monkeys everywhere
