Hi Readers ! I am back again with new information. I had a short break just to enjoy the monsoon weather here. I had a chance to visit the forest area. It is all green around with a variety of plants all over here. Different varieties of mushrooms, lichens and ferns can be seen here these days besides conifers and other trees. Sometimes it is drizzling and sometimes very heavy showers.The rains are all over here making the hills green and beautiful.One can see many small and big springs and waterfalls around, amidst the roaming clouds on the hills giving a picuturesque view of this beautiful place of Shimla. Sometimes it's all foggy with zero visibility but the weather is very pleasant making everything full of life around. In Today's Post a good news for the philatelists of Chandigarh. A philatelic exhibition is proposed to be held in Chandiharh in the month of October. Some new stamps from India . Today is the Independence Day of our neighbouring country Pakistan.
