nTwo trips stand out among the many I’ve taken. One was my very first visit to Darjeeling and the other was a short trip to Rajgir. I went to Darjeeling when I was in Class XI with my parents and younger sister, Subhasree. We spent a week or so there and since it was summertime, it was a welcome escape from the sweltering heat in Calcutta. The time we spent there was relaxed and peaceful punctuated by shopping jaunts and sightseeing trips. I remember picking up quite a lot of clothes, junk jewellery and shoes there. And while I didn’t get to see the Kanchenjunga peak clearly ? thanks to dense cloud cover ? I managed to get a perfect view on my next visit.

My trip to Rajgir in Bihar was a good eight years ago when I was in Class IX. Agin this was a family vacation and what appealed to me was the sheer beauty of the hillstation with its gorgeous waterfalls and Buddhist temple. During our six-day visit, we even managed to go on a small trek.
