मेरो प्यारो दार्जीलिंग ( My Beloved Darjeeling )

My hometown Darjeeling is one of the most beautiful places on earth, also known as the ' Queen of the Hills'. This is a place I love from the bottom of my heart, a place I grew up, a place I call home, so I wish to write about all the good things, ignoring the political battle and the negativism that follows..Darjeeling is an awesome place to live in.

This fascinating place is best known for it's tea plantations, Buddhist Monasteries, Ropeway ride, mesmerizing fresh air, breathtaking view, shopping in the colorful markets, wide variety of fabulous food, long walks in the Mall road, trekking to high altitude spots, and the most unique feature of Darjeeling is the world famous Toy train which takes you from Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling through scenic valleys


Darjeeling is a place where anybody can feel at home, people of this fabulous place have a very big heart. You can never be broke in Darjeeling, you can actually go out with 10 bucks in your pocket and come back home after eating a plate of delicious momos. I miss the evening walks with my aunty to Chowrasta after school, and on our way back a quick stop at Glenary's to grab our favourite chicken patties. 


I miss Darjeeling and the feeling that someone at Home is waiting for you, My grandmom waited for me to return back from school with delicious goodies which she prepared during tea time, those cakes that she baked is by far the world's best cakes ever because the main ingredient is Love. Feeling of being loved, wanted, sheltered can only be found at home. 

Morning walks in the Mall Road, the fresh breeze brushing our faces, the feeling is just overwhelming. Darjeeling is my Home and I wish to go back someday and live the simple & easy life with my lovely family.
