Today I am writing a love story , I fell in love . I know it might sound a bit juvenile but it was love at first sight . The very little glance and I pulled my heart out and gave it away .I was listening to music , winds brushed my cheeks , my hair floating , everything was straight out of a Karan johar movie . But I didn't loose my heart to some handsome man I lost it to a town . Kalinpong is a town for those who are looking for some moments of solace . This beautiful town is located in Himalayan foothills of West Bengal , India . When you reach this 1250 m high town you feel you have reached the silver city itself . The wind touches your soul when you stand on the cliff of "Pujje Dara" . The hills make you feel welcomed and little hugs you get from the clouds make you feel loved . You understand the actual meaning of peace when you sit underneath the Buddha statue in "Durpin Monastery" . I have never felt so close to something divine ever before . You can kiss the clouds when you reach "Deolo park" . All you can see around are clouds and beautiful flowers and ofcourse the momos of Dilip daju will melt your heart . This place is always freezing , so don't forget to carry some warm clothes . This town is full of beautiful surprises , with picturesque views at every niche . Kalimpong is one of those towns in India which is untouched by humans and pure . It is beautiful in its own natural way . This place have magic in its air . I fell in love with this town many years ago and fall every time I visit it .
