Jai Mata Di
As my days past in delhi, my lust for trips and treks kept on increasing around this fascinating land surrounded by lots of mountains all around including the great Himalayas. This time around I got the opportunity to visit “Vaishnav Devi” shrine one of the most fabulous place for the energy it is surrounded with. According to our Hindu mythology this place is one of the most sacred place with thousands of pilgrims visiting the shrine every day.
This trip was eventually planned by my friend shilpi, well I always wanted to visit the shrine during my course in delhi and this time I got the opportunity and company to do so. This time our team was pretty small as it was more of emotional attachment towards the god that dragged the people rather than a normal fun loving adventure trips. Our team consisted of 6 people Pratap, Shilpi ( bacchi ), Prabod, Neha, Sheetal (Thayi……- Kya hai ?) and finally me Poorna ( Baba Bhairav )…

We started our trip on 2/12/2005 from the Samsung office itself after having our lunch around 2.30. we got a cab to the railway station. One good thing was we had all the tickets for both to and fro of the journey booked well in advance thanks to shilpi for taking this responsibility.
We had our train at around 4.05pm and we all started preparing for the hectic journey ahead of us. Pratap was last moment entry to the team as sandeep droped at the last point. It was fun having this person around… responsible, sensible and mature enough to handle the situation.

Once in the train it was me again who was caught between 2 elderly people who started telling some mythological stories, I think they were talking in Punjabi and most part of the conversation I was unable to understand since I hardly knew Punjabi but still I kept my head rolling for the all the stuffs they said. All the other members were enjoying the fun looking at me. Well I just capitalized the opportunity to put shilpi in my place and escape from their clutches. We had good time with them through out the journey that is till jammu. It was getting colder and colder as we approached jammu and no one could sleep in the train. We reached jammu around 9 am on 3/12/2005. We had tea in the railway station and started to Katra immediately.
The journey from jammu to katra was good enough as we got the last row of the bus so that we could play dumb shards and spend our time. On the way to katra we had some good hot pakodas and tea.
Once in katra we got the tickets for the darshan and then we left to the rest rooms. Over here in katra we have lots of dharm shalas which are very economical. All of us refreshed and recharged ourselves and then we left for the day’s breakfast.. we had a good restaurant where in we had some good poori, roti and lassi.

Now it was time to start our walk towards the holy shrine. I have walked enough distance in different places but still this time around it looked a different challenge all together, we could see the rough mountains through which we need to pass through to go on top of the mountain. I would really appreciate the efforts of Pratap over here that he decided to cover his journey on bear foot, it really requires nerves to do so in that chilled weather. Well even me and Prabod decided to carry the luggage on our shoulders. Before the start of the journey there was enough rounds of security checks since this state is one of the worst terrorist hit states in India. Once we were through the security checks we started walking briskly towards the shrine chanting “jai mata di”. With in few kms sheetal and neha drained up and started slowing down the pace. Myself , pratap, prabod and shlipi kept on moving ahead as we did not feel much of the strain during the journey.

Nothing much to say about this journey on legs but yes it was amazing to see that there is no real means of current generation transport, that means whom so ever wants to see this shrine has to give some pain to their legs. Once the sun went behind the mountains the wind started getting colder and temperature started to drop down at a faster rate.

It was a hard journey as I felt we are totally exempted from this type of life since we are induced into the city life. My legs started getting harder and harder and were resisting to walk and this was the case with every one. At around 9pm we were on top on the mountain at last. Over here I got the shock to hear from pratap that once we are finished with dinner we will visit the shrine and then start moving towards Bhairav nath temple. However that did not happen as sheetal planned something different for the team..

The temperature was very low and wind was very chilled it was so cold that even after wearing warm clothes I was unable to stand since I was shivering. Over here I decided to have bath of cold water, which is considered to be sacred before visiting the shrine. My self and pratap first left to take bath. As expected it was very very cold in fact when I first touched the water I felt like it’s just the liquid form of ice. Once done with bath I could hardly feel the coldness in the atmosphere as my body temperature increased a lot, but still my legs started paining very badly because of the cold and I felt like I am getting blade cuts on my legs. I could hardly walk because of the pain. Once we reached back more people left for the same looking at us and taking inspiration from us hahaa… well out of which only 2 them could make it shilpi and prabod, neha could not make it up even though she went till the place. But the best stuff was from sheetal who decided not to even change her sitting position.

At around 11.30 we went to sacred cave of “Mata”, well I was very lucky that this time around there was no big rush and I later came to know that it takes hours to have the darshan. Over here also the security is very high even inside the temple, I had a pleasant time inside the divine place, well I think it was the same with everyone. After this we went to the shiv temple below, which is also inside a cave, and it was nice to pass through the narrow cave. Here there was small stream of water where in people had put lots of coin and I was told that put in your hands and which so ever coin you get would be lucky. Well I don’t know the truth of this but I tried to get the coin but in the mean time all my warm clothes became wet and I had hard time wearing it in the cold weather.

Once done with the darshan, sheetal was badly tired and she had sever chest pain, over here I thought that it’s the end for sheetal hahahaha….. later I came to know that even she thought like that hahahha… well she just had some gastric problem and she was fine after some yogic treatment from Dr. Shilpi. We decided to rest in the same place till morning so that sheetal could recover and get some rest for rest of the people also. We could hardly find any place to sleep but one good thing was we were getting enough blankets from the counter to hide from the wind but I felt like what so ever you wear you just cannot face the situation at times until you decide to do so.

Well it was very cold and no one could sleep initially in fact few of them till the end. Well all 3 of us pramod, prathap and myself started laughing once we heard few girls who were sleeping few meters away from us started crying anyone give us some heat… hahaha…

Well as usual I was very tired and went to sleep after few minutes of bearing the cold, I should say I was very lucky in this matter for getting sleep in that weather. We got up around 6.15 and it was nice to see sheetal was fine and was ready to continue with the journey, so we decided to freshen up and start with the journey toward “bhairav nath” temple. At around 9 am we were on top of the mountain and we could see lots of langur and monkeys.

We started our journey back to katra, on the way one funny incident was as we were posing for a photo a monkey slowly came towards sheetal and took her hand in it arms hahaha…… both of them had some telepathic conversation … I can say talk of mind… it continued until sheetal decided that she would stick with her current boy friend only… hahhaa… might be listening to this the monkey got angry and snatched the prasad from her hands and went. Later 2 more bags were snatched from neha also.

I decided to take the root of the steps as I felt it would be more painful to get through steps and to my expectations it was very painful as I started getting cramps in my legs and it was very hard for me walking with the luggage, as I was feeling like some one was pushing you from back.

I reached the place from where we started at around 2pm. After around 40 mins I could see shilpi and prabod. After around 1 hour that is at around 3pm neha, pratap and sheetal made it at last. Pratap was struggling to walk hats of to him for taking up such painful journey on barefoot.

We were at the rest room at around 4pm. We had some rest till around 5 and then the girls left for some shopping. After some food we started our journey back to jammu through a cab since it was getting late at around 6pm. We were in the jammu railway station at around 8pm and left back to delhi at around 8.30pm. We were talking about all the stuffs, gossiping till around 12 and then we decided to sleep after which I only heard that we are near delhi hahhaa….

All in all it was a wonderful trip, which took off all the fluids in your body along with lots of fun all the way.

This was the end of one more meaningful trip of my life.

Sand Dume
This was a fantastic trip for the amount of distance we traveled in the limited time and for a all together change in seeing an all together different geographical location.

It all started when soni called up on Sunday 30th october 2005 at around say 1pm when I was resting my heels on my bed lying down on bed…. Soni called up told be ready by around 2 so that we can leave to jaisalmer..

At around 2 myself, soni and hari started off in soni’s new Swift to anil chand’s place on the way we picked up thomsy…. With his apples…

All together we started from anil’s place around 4.30pm … it was fun loving team who started the trip of deepavali in 2 different cars..

Our team included Anil (with is Girl Friend …..) , Thomsy, Soni, Hari , Kiran (Chotu..), DJ Raka (Rakesh) and ME (Poorna).

Our first break was for dinner in jaipur at around 9 where in we had dinner and started off to jaisalmer which was our only destination….

On the way we moved through ajmer, jodhpur..(This was the most confusing city while going as well as while coming back).

One important place on the way to jaisalmer was pokran where in india conducted its nuclear test., we had a small photo session over here on the roads., the roads from here was really amazing barren lands on both sides of the road till the end and also the fascinating thing was the dam straight roads., you don’t get to see a single curve on the roads other then few sign board which read “move smooth on my curves”.,

We reached Jaisalmer at around 9.30 am after a hard 20hr long drive, we rested our heels in a hotel. After charging our batteries at around 4 we left for seeing the fort of Jaisalmer., all in all it was great fort and a hold to india’s historic beauty.,

From the fort after seeing the sunset from this place on top of the fort we left to boating., it was fun going for boating in the night with pitch darkness all around you could not see anything in front of you it was total dark and fun going for boating over here.

We started to our main goal of going 2 sand dumes on 1 nov at around 9 am we went to a place called Bade bagh., it was a good place for its beauty and a small park with some tress in the middle of the barren land. After which we did some shopping and then moved towards the main stream.

We reached the place around 40 km away from jaisalmer around 4pm and then we had the fun of riding camels to the place from where the desert started., lots of sand all around it was an amazing view to see the smooth curves of the sand . All of us enjoyed our stay at this place for around 2 hours. After watching the fantastic sunset from this place we returned to our mud huts where in there was arrangement for traditional rajastani folk music.
A team of Rajastani flock had already arrived to entratain us, the weather was very cold however we had some food and started enjoying the music. In fact myself and thomsy started dancing for their beats. There was a family which had come from gujrath they also enjoyed our dance and passion we showed.
We all were tired and went to sleep at around 10pm. However our plan was to wake till 12 and we planned to celebrate Hari's Bday at sharp 12. However it was very unfortunate because almost all were awake till 11.45 know one knows all of sudden how everyone slept.
However earlymorning we celebrated our deepavali by bursting crackers in desert and cutting a wonderful cake for Hari.... we enjoyed every moment in these small huts... and then once we refreshed ourself we started our immediate return journey to Noida which was again almost 15-20hr drive.
All in all a wonderful end to a meaningfull trip.

Fliers
This trip of mine had all the trill, fun and strain I ever expected… well guys u gonna appreciate my team building skills I was able to build a team which was beyond requirement in the most minimal time given. Myself and Suria had a very formal chat during our lunch hours on Friday (23/8/2005) for going a trip to Rautang Pass..
Still everything looked like a dream till 4.30 when all of a sudden we were able to get 9 people on board to Rautang… we decided to leave around 8.30..
Here my first mistake of an unplanned trip was exposed…. Instead of 9 … to our shock 10 people assembled in Atta and a single cab for such a big journey..
Now let me introduce you to my new team.. it consisted of 12 men.. masters in their own…. Skills…. Suria Prakash, Amith Ghandi, Satyajith(Choclate Boy), Ajay, Sandeep, Arun, Raghuveer (Hero), Akshat (Apple …) , Dinesh…,Snehal, Rahul…(Coool man).. and Me..Poorna Prajna…
To continue with … it was shocking 2 see 10 people ready 2 board … ofcourse looking at the enthu of the guys it was simply impossible to say anyone 2 turn back so our only option was to add few more people so that we can take 2 cabs.
Now a special mention to Arun and Hero who made it sooo simple on joining us.. in fact Raghu was simply superb… he was having dinner at Atta when I called him.. and asked to join for the trip he did not even ask properly where we are going nor he had any clothes 2 join us. He just said yes and went to a shop got some basic requirements clothes and was ready in the cab… coooool buddy… tat was really cooool of u….
So now we were 12 and 2 cabs were ready for the fly… hmmm a special mention 2 one of our cab driver who drunk a bit and was feeling sleepy… even though he was very good at driving he struggled a lot as he was feeling very sleepy….
We stopped at around 11.30 for our dinner at a Dhaba on the way to Chandigar…. I got the best ever food I had in north amazing food every one enjoyed the food 2 their maximum limits I belive…..
After which we left to manali our first destination on the way we had 2 slow down a lot as our driver was feeling very sleepy.
Morning was very coooool and still we had to cover lots of distance 2 catch with our plans… however since our main plan was to visit Rautang Pass no one in the team had any regrets for not seeing kullu or manali.
We stopped on the way 2 kullu near a stream of water where is we refreshed ourselves by playing in the cold water for sometime.. it was fun playing in the water.
We reached Manali after a very tiring journey of around 650kms around 4 in the evening. Now we refreshed ourselves in the hotel after we left for a walk in the “MALL ROAD”..
A special mention to the team…. The best part which was observed in the trip was its discipline to get ready on time and not to make others wait…. Once we reached the hotel at 4.., 4.45 was the time given to get ready and at 5 everyone were ready down…
We walked around the stream and then all along the MALL road having a look at all the beautiful stuffs… around, we had some good hot snacks…. Over here and then headed back to our hotel for the long night party….
We then had a dance party of all men… dam good dancing steps I leave it open 2 your imagination hahaha…. Sorry cant explain these stuffs… and finally after a dinner we need 2 go back 2 bed early as we need 2 leave 2 our main destination Rautang very early in the morning.. so everyone slept at around 11pm.
Day 2 of the trip was one of the best day in my life time it really very very hard 2 put what I saw on words… as its pretty hard to explain the beauty, one can only feel it is wat I say.As I told early this time around I had the privilege of going with a very disciplined team every one were ready by sharp 6.30 that’s the best I have ever seen… 2 be frank because of this we achieved lots of stuffs in the trip, otherwise I don’t think we could have achieved so many stuffs in such less time.
After a small photo session we all left to Rautang by around 6.45, not to mention the route to rautang was soooo thrilling, scaring and beautiful that everyone enjoyed to the core… amazing beauty …. I can only say u need to feel it rather than read something…
We reached rautang at around 10 it was the best place I have ever seen till date… sorry friends its out of my reach to explain this… wat I saw.. only few of the snaps can tell the story tats all… is what I can say…. With in 3 hrs we spent in Rautang we were able to see all kinds of weather like it was bright and shiny when we went so we were lucky enough 2 get lots of snaps after a few mins it was completely covered with fog and cold breeze started to blow and then it also rained heavily all the way down and also we could see lots of snow.
We had lots of fun a small trek and skiing over here added to our fun. Then we took one the best decision of going for paragliding an opportunity to fly in the air like a bird … This was one of the best moments of my life time I started first in the group… I like to share my experience over here… when I started it was fully covered with fog could not see anything down and I could feel very strong breeze… I was unable to see anything down all of sudden the fog cleared and I was able to see the depth of the valley… rocks all along… I got a bit scared but yes enjoyed to the core I can say a life time achievement of flying in the air…. Amazing feeling of weightlessness in the air…. Akshat and dinesh u really missed something amazing …..
On the way back to manali it was fun and thrilled journey, a cab with girls over took us and started playing pranks with guys…. Now as u should think it’s the matter of ego we started having fun with the grls dancing in the respective cabs teasing each other and the best chasing them at the max speed … we were following them sooo closely that I am sure if they had slipped from the road we would have followed them in the air hahaha…
It was so fun that we left our other cab half the way later we came to know that their cab got punctured hence it took soo much time for them to come back. It was really fun chasing them all the way.
Once we reached manali many of them had sever headache should be the effect of cold breeze… anyway many of us had some tablets and started our return journey hats off to our cab drivers amazing speed and control… he even crossed 140kmph as a result of which we were in delhi by morning…
Any way I would like to say this was the best place I have seen till date… Still I dream to see few places like Kargil, leh , ladak and gangotri…

Who Missed It………..

This trip was a proof to say, we can do it to the best even with out a proper plan since our only motto is to enjoy the life at its best……..simple and straight….
It started with lots of confusion regarding whoz going to join the trip and stuff but ultimately hats of to Sri… My self and sri decided to go out for the weekend irrespective of whoz joining us.
We decided about the team around 9.00pm on 15/7/2005 for a trip to masoori.. but within 15 mins the plan was changed to almora… since another team was heading towards almora…so we decided to join them and make it memorable…

Our team this time consisted of very talented and enthusiastic people all around so everything till the end was fun…it included Hari Krishna ( Photographer…), Soni (…..Yoooo maaaaaaan….), Sambhav (Shambu…my roomi…), Sandeep..(Trying to come out of the villan sphere…), Srivatsa (Sri……) …his wife Suman (summi…..as sri calls…..),…..Shilpi…(One Cartoon…..a small kid in the team….) and myself..Poorna Prajna…

Nothing went as per plan the cab which was suppose to come at 9.30 came at around 12.30am what a loss for people like us…who belive time is money…. hahaha…also to add to the pain we got one of the worst driver I think he had a bad at office one day before our trip he never crossed 60kmph even in the best of the roads available in India which hit back our plans very badly….

At last we started at around 12.30 making lots of noises…. We saw our first obstacle at around 6am when the other team called us and told that their car has broken down and they have halted their proceeding.. We caught them at the 79km stop where in they were resting in a dhaba…this team included Anil Chand, Rakesh (DJ Raka), Rajessssssssssssh, Kiran (The culprit…..) , They just had overlooked a speed breaker and hence had a dent in their oil tank because of which engine had seized.. We gave a big break for our driver and even had enough time on car so we took a break freshened up ourselves and then had good breakfast… then we got the mechanic to fix their car and then we decided to make a move thinking they would join us at the top for the party….unfortunately they could not make it…….
We stopped at a small stream for a small photo session also to enjoy the water….it was a cool place had some fun….over here..
We reached almora around 3 we got a good hotel to stay where in, took some rest and freshened up….after which we made an enquiry for the places around where in we can enjoy…we narrowed down on to Binsar a wonderful place….
We planned for a camp fire but since it started raining…we had an alternative we went to the hotel canteen…. Removed all the tables and chairs which was nicely arranged and made ourselves comfortable for the dance floor….
A special mention has to be made to Sri and Shipi …….. Sri entertained everyone with the typical steps of fun and enjoyment…..to the best…. Also Shilpi ….wow what a dancer she is….she dances really well no one could even match her ……..hmmmm myself, sambav, sandeep, soni and suman all danced to their steps…..

Day 2 we started to Binsar after a wonderful breakfast….filled our thirst with lots of paratas……really good ones……….
On the way to Binsar we stopped the cab for a small trek at a wonderful place….amazing place with lots of trees and coooool breeze to add to the pleasure and fun we had….lots of fun seeing people slip while climbing the mountains….
The road to binsar was amazing……very narrow and wonderful sight of greenery all the way….We reached binsar around 11am it was raining heavily.. so we took some rest and had some tea at which the rain stopped…. The plan was to have a small treck inside the deep woods to a place where in there is watching tower to watch the snow capped mountains…

We got a wonderful company all the way through …..julie ….Sandeep’s run time girl friend…. Who resisted every one for not calling her Julie……. What an impact it made on our sandeep in such a small time….

This route was really amazing…….to be frank it was the perfect picture of a dense forest……. dark….filled with greenery…tremendous silence…no sound other then our team….it was a bit scary….. to add to this we heard something jumping from a tree we were lucky that we did not see anything out there but every one were assured something just jumped past….. this will definitely remain in memory for some time …… as we walked for almost more than an hour… after which we could hear from others lets turn back since we did not even know where we were heading towards….also the memories of the movie kaal was fresh in everyone’s memory hahaha….. At this point we were lucky enough to find the tower at a certain distance every one jumped in joy after seeing the tower as it was the ray of hope for out trek…..
Climbing the tower was really very scary and also had lots of fun …. As It did not look strong enough to hold everyone climbing was not easy….however everyone made to the top of the tower from where we could get a spectacular view of the whole valley unfortunately we were unable to see the snow capped mountains from here as it was filled with fog……
It was here that I made a mistake to tell my experience to Sri…in my local language forgetting that even Sri’s wife was around and I became centre of laughter for sometime………
It started raining heavily over here and then we decided to move ahead with the rain it self …..so by the time we came back to the starting point everyone were drenched in water….
It was wonderful experience inside the deep jungle…..after coming back to the hotel we got to hear that….the place is home for lots of leopards and wild bores and we were lucky not to find one….hahaha… here everyone left open their wild imaginations of the sound we heard in the jungle….. good that everything ended well… without any issues…
On the way back we stopped at a small water stream to have some fun in the water…. Also we had a great photo session over here…. It was really coooool place with a big land slide from a few meters away from where we stopped….
From here we started heading back to home….our driver added to the worries driving slowly at his own pace and dropping back home at around 5am in the morning…… We all were very happy that our driver dropped us back home safely as we could see him close his eyes every now and then while driving…….. he definitely added lots of thrill to our journey….
But what a trip….. we were able to see the nature from a close distance have the thrill at its best……… wonderful experience…… was just dreaming like what if a leopard had made an appearance in the forest……….hahahaha…..
At last… for the amount of risk we took everything ended well hahahaha…..

Valley of Peace
What a wonderful trip it was………………….. lots of memories 2 be kept with……..this trip…..well it all started with a wonderful and strategically planned trip by ajith, ridhi and roohi….we just joined them for support…. Hats off to them they planned really well…

We started from our Samsung office from around 6.45pm on 1/7/2005… as other team members were to meet at Atta… Our’s was a big and wonderful team……. Consisting of team members.. Ajith(Clearence…..), Rakesh(DJ Raka), Sandeep(The Villan), Ridhi(??) , Roohi..(Ms.. Attitude…Toy shop…), Neha Ghandi..(Ms..Catwalk), Dipti Mali (C..me..l..i), Dhanashree (Ch….pa), Rajeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh (Mr. PJ)……., Vishaaal…, Dinesh,Mayank.., Hardhik…,Gutam (Devdas….) and of course me ….”Poorna prajna (??....any names welcomed….)”
As per our schedule we started from Atta at around after having done a small shopping for all the accessories.. everyone tried their best 2 be on time and we started to a wonderful destiny at around 8…
Our first task was 2 introduce our self…..lots of interesting and new people…..so lots of fun….so we had a break at around 10 for our dinner…not the best …..but whatever was served ….we did the rest…..got 2 know all our team members in this break after which……at around 11 our team started it all again the journey….

We had to pass through the famous Jim Corbret park at night …..we need 2 say……..its really good at night 2 pass through this place amazing forest……..we had some wonderful experiences over here…like we saw a group of spotted dears…. On the road…and the best was…there was a small landslide and a big stream of water was passing across the road now we were in a confusion can we go or not……and started throwing stones just 2 get a feel of the depth of the water …… turned out to be nothing we went ahead with this……..on the way had some fun with the music provided by DJ..Raka..

Once the journey on the mountains started I don’t think anyone could sleep properly….the journey was pretty hectic….we stopped our cab at around 5.30 for a photo session in one of the best places we could see in our life time really amazing coooool…breeze.. amazing valley…and the stunning mountains……and place was really cool and stunning……
We reached “Raniketh” by around 7am on 2/7/2005. We got our self refreshed and had a small nap 2 come from out of the tiring journey.. We had breakfast and we ready 2 explore by around 1pm. We decided on 2 wonderful places a small trek into the woods to a ancient dam..
Coooool experience for all the new trekkers in the team…….. good place……..2 have fun walking down the woods………. Hmmmmmm needs some special mention over here……Mr. Ajith had gr8 care…… in helping people over here hahaha sorry could not mention it whom…….Vishal…..i think u can put some light on this yaaaaaaaar….. And our Gandhi stood by C..me..l..i …. For complete support…wow wat a bonding it was……….
We reached the dam after a cool trek by around 3.30pm…nice place 2 hang out for a party……had lots of fun enjoying the nature…..
The come back journey was not very easy for many as we did not have water and we were climbing the mountain which was really hard for few…. Also was a bit hot….so rajeeeeeesh had no other go but to show his “body” ….(Lifeboy he jaha…………tandurustiiii hai wahaaaaaaa lifeeeeeee boy……….)

After a hard walk for around 2hrs we reached back at around 5 back on top from where we started….had the best ever maggi…..(should be…….was feeling very hungry….) and then we went to the apple orchards.. hmmmmmmmmm here our Gandhiji (forgot about her own 3 monkey….philosophy…) and tired 2 steal some apples…….. hmm but could not avoid getting caught….need 2 improve some skills……..in this field….
We had a small break at our hotel rooms and then around 8 we started accumulating our energy levels for the camp fire….. woow tat was really coooooool lots of hidden talents were explored….. had lots of fun dancing around the fire….. grls 3 cheers for u…… thought us some amazing steps to dance out…..and not 2 mention tanx to DJ raka ….for the music support…… we danced here for around 90 mins… had lots of fun… after which we had 2 go 2 bed forcibly as were suppose 2 leave the place for nainital by “5 am”..(I still need some time 2 come out of this…..)
The sad part is fantasies of one room …..where we stayed had been disclosed……………where as the mystery still hangs around the other 2 rooms…….

Here DJ Raka was caught red handed inside the room…with the Villan………...(Drinking…….)….

We reached “Nainital” around 11am.. What a wonderful place it is………….cooooool weather with a small drizzle……. Here we decided to go to the hill top ….one more trek…….. the path was not very easy a bit slippery….so girls decided to stay back and enjoy boating …well they did enjoy going 2 a small water falls…. Hmmmmm our Ghandiji…. Took the required initiative 2 join us….guys….. cheeeeeeeers for her…….. we had a light drizzle all the way across which added to our fun…..we had some stunning photos over here taken with lots of risk involved….. really gr8…. As the rains had made the rocks pretty slippery…….. taking such snaps were no joke……
Now after returning back many people enjoyed the lake view with a boating….however I did not join.. them…… wanted a small break so went 2 the cab for a nap…. Heard it was fun out there……..

After this we started our return journey back home…. On the way back in the cab it definitely requires a mention we danced a lot…..in order to control the vehicle the driver did switch off the deck at times or reduced the volume…..but he did keep his head coooool to tolerate us…….

It was here I made the biggest mistake of my trip….. I was forced to listen to the “Babbar share…s” of roohi…ridhi…dipti and danashree…. Ooooooooo god………….. I learnt my lesson………..hahahaha………. I could even hear those when I was sleeping at night…….it was really horrible…………

Hmmmmmmmm…… learnt a important lesson from the trip……I came 2 know why managers are highly paid people ……… its really not easy handling a team of enthusiastic and differential thought orientated people…and canalize them to flow in a common path…….
As everything which has a beginning needs 2 end ……… our trip ended at around 1am dropping me first on the way back………. A sad demise to the wonderful trip………
