From the Deccan Herald:
On a wet windy afternoon we stood on the deck, unsteadily in blue disposable plastic parkas, and feeling a strange mix of chill, thrill and elation. Ahead in the distance was the mighty Niagara Falls: nature’s master piece imprinted into the landscape by forces of sun, wind, ice and water - a production 50,000 years in the making.
‘The Maid of the Mist’ lifted and dropped as we moved on the turbulent water. Around us swarms of seagulls wheeled over the double-decker boat, making squeaky high-pitched sounds. Japanese tourists around us shrieked and laughed. Children delightfully screamed each time waves of water hit us. As we neared the Falls, the mighty roar drowned all sounds. A weird and wonderful exhilaration swept the air.

Superb article! What details!! I just can’t wait to go there and do Maids in the Mist and the walks. I am sure I’ll be thinking of all the things Janardhan Roye wrote! Thanks for this wonderful travelogue.
