A walk down Mussoorie's Mall Road can be quite interesting, as you can observe life in its myriad forms.
Basic street food - eggs, Maggi, momos, tea.... I am sure these would be lip-smacking
The palace of the former Maharaja of Rajpipla, right here on the Mall, Mussoorie. This was the norm, the rulers of the small states used to spend their vacations in the hills.
Rajpipla is located in the Narmada district of Gujarat and the place came in the limelight when a scion of the royal family, Manvendra Singh Gohil, came out of the closet and disclosed that he is a gay!
Another palace, this one built by the royal family of Kasmanda, Orissa now lives on as a hotel!
Roasted corn on the cob ...
The happy faces tell that school's over, it's time to get back home.
Kids in the hills have ruddy cheeks, which make them look extremely adorable....
The flea market waits for business...
A pit stop overlooking the valley...
Juice for anyone?
Anaardaana goli, hing goli, jeera goli, aampapad - traditional appetisers and digestives on sale...
Ber or jujube berry on sale...
Target practice time....
The wrinkles of these sturdy hill-men have a story to tell - a story of hardship of life in these areas, the daily struggle, the struggle with the elements and much more...
A relic from the past, Mussoorie Library...
Candy floss... I used to love it as a kid!
