My pictures with their little stories

In deep thought at India Coffee House, Shimla For long, I have been fond of this great institution called India Coffee House . Unfortunately, it has been on the decline for some time now. While passing through Shimla , made it a point to be there, spend some time and relish their trademark coffee. ( Shimla, 2010 )

Chinese Shoe Shop at Shimla Every hill station in north India seems to have The Mall Road and in every likelihood there will be a Chinese shoe shop. When I noticed this shop on The Mall at Shimla , could not resist peeping in. It did not look to be a very active shop, neither the owner seemed very friendly. (Shimla, 2011)

Kalka - Shimla Railway Single line narrow gauge especially in the hills - this is a different world altogether. The trains on these tracks are never intimidating. They are friendly and charming and definitely not macho. Best thing to happen is that you do not know the railway timetable which means that train could suddenly appear from nowhere.
