I see the lake, vast in expanse, The sun reflecting off its surface The trees giving it a green hue Visitors from all over India Quite eager to take boat rides Some strolling in the Tibetan Market Dotted by eateries and retailers It's cold, too cold for a Hyderabadi Taking in this scene I wonder What fascinates people about Nainital As I am left pretty underwhelmed Saved only by the company of friends And now I am travelling back home Wondering if I will ever travel at all.
