I cannot remember when I started a trip feeling this tired. If I was traveling alone, I would have canceled this trip to Fagu in Himachal Pradesh. But when Chhavi asked me how could she bring in tomorrow quickly, I knew I was going, ill health be damned. And here I am sitting and typing this away after spending the Sunday in a snow fight! The brat is peacefully asleep.
I had planned to take this mother-daughter trip to Fagu in advance but then I got very low temperature and started getting dizzy. As Chhavi knew about the trip, she was so looking forward to it. We in the end told her that if she closed her eyes, tomorrow would come when she opened it!
It was a long tiring journey to Fagu yesterday but she perked up when she saw snow above Kufri. Her joy knew no bounds when she found snow next to our hotel, at HPTDC’s The Apple Blossom. Yesterday we were just too tired to do anything but crash.
But today was another day. The child was raring to go after the breakfast, before the breakfast was another story but ask me about it some other time. Breakfast safely in our stomachs, we got out and started walking around the hotel Then we got more adventurous and decided to go to a temple that we could see from our hotel.
And she found patches of snow on the way. Chhavi would scoop it up from wherever she could. Initially she was happy throwing it about. Then she asked me, shall we do snow fight? Now when did I shy away from such challenges? I was game for it.
To begin with she would ask me, “shall I throw it on you now” (and when I get angry with her I have to remind myself that she is the same cute kid who seeks permission before hitting me with a snowball). I told her you don’t ask when you hit someone with a snowball; you just go and hit them, bang! It took her sometime to get over it, but in the end she started pelting me at will.
By lunch both of us were pretty exhausted and thankfully she was not too keen about anymore snow fights but I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be another day! And I am looking forward to it.
Ha ha i know who is training her to be a brat. 🙂
“I told her you don’t ask when you hit someone with a snowball; you just go and hit them”
Indrani 😀 thanks for letting me know who is responsible 😀
Loved the mother-daughter duo spending some memorable time together. The second shot of Chhavi in the air is superb. Have I said earlier that Chhavi is a cute lovely girl? Yes, she’s indeed. 🙂
Thank you so much Ravish.
The photos are so full of life and so is she…God bless 🙂
Thank you so much Datta.
The pics speak about her loads of enjoyment she had with snow…

Thank you Anita but I hardly ever do such posts. Hope you will understand.
Nice post and beautiful pic of Chhavi 🙂
Thank you Rupam.
Look at Chavvi in the last pic.Looks one hell of a shaitan bacha all ready to take over her mom 😛
She is a shaitan baccha Ankita 😀
I love snow fights and look at her she looks so happy and excited 🙂 She is such a cutie pie :*
Thank you so much.
I know — looking for permission to throw a snowball? — so damn cute! That would never happen to me, the permission part, I mean. 🙂
Sweet pictures. Good you found some snow or the little girl must have been so disappointed. I remember being in Kufri one Jan and finding nothing more than some patches of snow. 🙁
Here’s wishing you two lots of snow fights. 🙂
Divya she didn’t expect snow, as of now she can’t even remember the name of the place we are visiting 😀 But find snow made it a lot more fun!
How sweet! The pictures, the wonderful time you both spent together and the lovely comments previous commenters gave… everything is just so sweet!
Thank you so much Sindhu.
Hi there, i am thinking of travelling to Fagu or shimla in coming early Feb and is wondering if the trip is suitable for a 6month old and a 4 year old. We will be travelling from Mumbai. Any idea/suggestion on how to travel to Fagu from Mumbai? The easiest and fastest way.
Actually i’m more concern of my 6mth old as i’m sure my 4 years old will have lots of fun with the snow.
Thank you
Hi, not sure how four month old will react. My daughter was 6 plus when we went. I would say wrap the kid well and they should do fine. But it is entirely your call.
