 Review on Vaishnodevi by birajv - MouthShut.com
I have been there twice but this time I was not going…I had work at Mata Vaishnodevi University…which is constructed at the foothills of Mata Vaishnodevi temple.
I sat there in the bus and now the sun had gathered its full momentum and was fiercely radiating its heat to make the people ready for enjoying the cold beautiful showers of the rains in a few days time.
I felt my cheeks burning with the sun rays and was getting uneasy and restless for the bus to start towards the Vaishnodevi university…No one else was feeling like me, the locals with their laid back style were busy chatting with each other and were at ease and had all the time in the world.
