Tons River

The Tons is the largest tributary of the Yamuna and flows through Garhwal region in Uttarakhand, touching Himachal Pradesh. The Tons thrust is named after this river.

Its source lies in the 20,720 ft (6,315 meters)) high Bandarpunch mountain, and is one of the most major perennial Indian Himalayan rivers. In fact, it carries more water than the Yamuna itself, which its meets below Kalsi near Dehradun, Uttarakhand.

Tons Valley

Tons Valley lies in Jaunsar Bawar region, as it emerges from the Himalayas has Dehradun on its eastern bank. The cantonment town of Chakrata is situated between, the Tons and Yamuna rivers.

Tributaries

The Pabbar River is a tributary of the Tons River connecting to it from the west. The Pabbar River is the westernmost river that drains east to the Ganges. The Sutlej River is the next watershed over and is the easternmost river that drains west into the Indus.

The Asan River is a tributary of the Tons that is often named (incorrectly) after this great river as the Tons. The Asan river is a confluence of two small river systems; one comprising streams flowing south from the Himalayan range running from Vikas Nagar towards Tehri (with Mussorie in the centre), and the other comprising streams flowing north-west from the lower Shiwalik hills (that separate Dehradun and Saharanpur districts). The misnomer Tons stands for the river originating from the Mussorie hills, flowing down through Robber's cave, Bijapur canal and Tapkeshwar Mahadev, before emerging into a broad valley behind IMA. This river receives substantial waters from several streams flowing south from the Himalayan slopes. It goes on west beyond the locality of Premnagar to finally join the streams from the lower Shiwaliks and flow toward the Yamuna, which it joins near Poanta Sahib. Asan barrage is constructed just before this confluence.

Dance Forever

by: Allstar Weekend

Baby, get up
Open your eyes now, the world's waking up
You realize we'll walk to the beat so suddenly
While we make believe that this will last forever
We won't sleep 'til 3 in the morning
This song speaks, and it's singing the real thing
It feels like we're living a dream
But tonight we're gonna make this one right
We'll set the stage and let the records play on a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage, we can dance forever
Forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever
And we can dance forever
We're crazy enough to feel alive now
You've got the stuff when we arrive
We'll walk to the beat so suddenly
And then you tell me that we could stay together
We won't sleep 'til 3 in the morning
This song speaks, and it's singing the real thing
It feels like we're living a dream
But tonight we're gonna make this one right
We'll set the stage and let the records play on a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage, we can dance forever
Forever, forever, forever
And we can dance forever
Forever, forever, forever
Turn around, just move it
With your feet on the ground, you'll prove it
When you hear the sound, we'll both lose it
Then we'll make the rounds to dance forever
And when the music stops and we can't wait
For another day, but we'll just dance forever
We'll hold on tight and think of Saturdays
If you say my name, then we can dance forever
We'll set the stage and let the records play on a Saturday
And we can dance forever
We'll burn the light that makes the city sway
When we set the stage, we can dance forever
Forever, forever, forever
We can dance forever
