A weekly newsletter from a 13 year old trying to balance school, parents, activities & the world…and of course, homework. An honest description of how I see the world.
~3 on School Holidays!~ Shimla Trip
We went to Chail, a place in Shimla for a 3 day trip with our entire family which is like over 30 people! The road trip is supposed to take 8-9 hours but it took us
12😅. We encountered 3 landslides and there was so. Much. Traffic!
These places are known for their sensational views, but when we got there (finally) there was so much fog that we could barely see in front of our hands! So we went in and chilled and then took a walk in the rain and it was really pretty🎉.
The last day finally had the perfect weather we wanted! It was really hot but the view was amazing! Then my Mom, Aunt and I went on a small trek to a nearby temple that was all uphill on the way up (so tiring!) but all downhill on the way back and it was worth it for the temple!🤩🤩
~2 on Family~ Coming Back
Then the next day back from Shimla we had a flight to Singapore😭. No one wanted to go back but everyone was so tired, we woke up in a haze, finished our packing then we had to leave!😭😭
When we came back home and we were at the airport my Brother was like “finally! But I had the opposite reaction because I knew this meant that the holidays are over😱😭.
~1 on World~ Shimla landslides
This weekend there was 61 dead and a loss of 10,000 crores in Shimla. This was due to massive landslides and flashfloods surrounding the area. It is a popular tourist destination and it has derailed many plans, the Chief of the state has said that it would take about another year to rebuild the infrastructure.
~SONG OF THE WEEK~
Shalala Lala By Vengaboys. It’s a old song but super catchy!
~FACT OF THE WEEK~
Switzerland prohibits the ownership of just one guinea pig. Since these adorable fluffy creatures get very lonely when there’s only one of them, having only one is considered animal abuse in Switzerland.
