Trip Back Home

August 9th 2006 was the day I might say I waited a bit long might be because I spent around 2 months alone at delhi… or might be I was a bit home sick this time…. I wanted to meet my family in b’lore.. i got up very early on 9th and left for the flight to Bangalore… Well when I landed in b’lore my father tried to play a prank with me but well was not smart enough…. I was very happy this time meeting all my family members at home it was pretty long time…since we all met together…

The good thing of this trip was…papa took off a week’s break from his office so that we all can stayed together… so we enjoyed a lot together… it was good moments…

We all went out together for lunch on mummy’s birthday…. It was one of those times were in I got good time for my family ….we did lots of shopping… for everyone….

Few of the best part of this trip was I met my childhood friends vidya and bhargavi… I went to their home … were in we spoke for some time and then we went on a long walk… near her house…. All together it was recollecting my old days….

But the best part of the trip was my ride to tumkur…on my bike pulsar.. Well as soon as I landed in Bangalore the best thing I felt was the weather… this is one thing I definitely missed in delhi… or in any other part of India… so as soon as I landed in Bangalore the first thing that came to my mind was I would be going to tumkur by bike…

Well I started to tumkur around 3.30pm. Tumkur is around 60-70 km from Bangalore. This is the place where we have a house and also this is the place where in I did my graduation… so I know in and out of this town. Even though I started in the afternoon the weather was very cloudy, supported by cool breeze it was an ideal weather to go on long ride…. Its one of those seasons… down south where in you would enjoy ur long rides to the core if it does not rain…..

Well the new laid roads of the quadrilateral project was best suited for zooming out in my bike…. Broad and empty roads… teased me at my speed of around 100kmph.. well I felt the need of a 1000cc bike ….. tat was the kind of roads….. Both sides of road were well covered with green patches because of rains around this part of the world during this season….. these green patches are one dam good view for a person whoz living in a cosmopolitan city…

It took me around 40min to 1 hr to reach my aunts place in tumkur.. It was a surprise visit for them…. Well the evening in front of my home where I spent my childhood was very pleasant… I remembered those days when I used to run to home from my school drop my bags and then run to play cricket in the field opposite to my house…. Enter those thick green mango orchard.. and chased away by the mali…. Visit the “venkateshwara temple” in the evening … with my old buddy ravi sharma… lots and lots of stuffs passed through my mind in a flash of a second…

Its all in the game of time…. We were kids when I saw all those young men … now they have grown old… and we are fastly replacing them…. And the babies with whom we played…. Are enjoying their college life…. All together it was gr8 to think for a moment what is life… and get a bit philosophical….

Well evening I made it a point to visit the temple around which I have lots of belief attached… was pleased to meet my god… an encounter after long long time… also went for a marriage reception of a very close friend of mine… for which I had come all the way… met the couple and wished them after which I had a good time with my uncle and aunt… before sleep….

I woke up the next day very early and was very pleased by the pleasant weather outside my house…. Had a small photo session after which I met my age old friend ravi sharma…. Was very very happy to meet him after sooo long years…. We sat and discussed for few hours what we are and where we are going towards in life….. whats our aim in life and lots of stuffs like that…. I wanted to put few points to him.. and I hope I was a bit successful in doing that also I belive…. After which I need to start back to Bangalore… as it was getting cloudy and I did not want to take the risk of getting struck in the rain….

On the way back I stoped at few palces and took some snaps in my camera but lot were captured only though my eyes it was very painful to stop my bike when I was enjoying the speed…. I reached home safely by around 4.30pm.

I had to leave to delhi the next day…. But all in all this time I got to know lot about whats family and understood few of the values of life for which we need to sacrifice few other stuffs in life…….

Water Raffting Part-2

The first trip to Rishikesh for rafting on january 1st 2006 so good tat I could not resist myself from going there again. I called up the person in charge for rafting Shoorbeer for information regarding the booking and stuffs… well I got the good news that it had rained the water levels were pretty high and rough compared to last time and chances that your boat might topple in the raft…. Well well that was the good news I expected from his end……so I booked it for a team of around 8 people… this time the one special person who joined me was my roomie.. Sidd (Kernel….)

We were 8.. Sidd, Neelappa, Sandeep, DJ Raka, Vamshi, Manju Uncle, Yogesh(Sandeep’s Roomi) and myself…… As expected other then me and sidd everyone were late for the departure.. we planned to leave at 12 from office but as usual sandeep got struck in a last minute meeting and could not come out till 2. Any way after that we had to go to each and individual’s house to collect the luggage. At the end we started from Delhi at around 3.30 …..

We had a cartoon driver who was a bit above 5 feet and and was driving Tavera… I was sure the person driving from the opposite side would not be able to see him …. Also he had such thick glass that we were scared that is he able to drive….. he proved us right… he never crossed 40kmph after 6pm adding to our frustration…..

We reached rishikesh at around 10pm here we need to pass through a security check to go ahead near the base camp…. But to our bad luck our coordinator had switched off his mobile and the police was not interested in letting us go ahead without any fodder…. Well well… we were lucky enough to get a call from the coordinator at the right moment don’t know some how he convinced the police through the phone and we were let to go ahead…

The base camp is around18km from here… were we stopped our vehicle and started moving towards the harsh river we couldn’t see anything while we were walking down the small hill.. any way tat was the fun part…. When we reached the river we could see the ganga flowing in throttle … a look at the river itself was a bit scary since many of us did not know swimming and we need to cross the river in the night without any life jackets….

Once we crossed the river and reached the base camp we dumped our luggage at the respective tents and then we had good food… everyone was very hungry and also it was very late…. After having dinner the best part was we started playing kabaddi in the night… It was fun.. I remember one funny thing…. yogesh came forward to catch me and was showing is ass towards me in a gesture of making fun…. I gave such a wonder full kick to his ass that he kept crying till the end of the trip…… After around 20-30 min of the game camp organizers asked us to be silent because other people were resting…. Anyway we were very tired of our journey and then every one went to their respective tents for resting……

21st may was a different morning it was very pleasant… I got up very early might be at around 5.30 … even Raka was awake so we saw the river flowing in full flow… the water was a bit muddy because of the rains…. But it was really pleasant in this hot summer of north India..

After attending the natures call in the pleasant weather myself, raka and sandeep went along the banks of ganga for a small photo session… we had some good snaps… after which when we came back every one were ready for a game of volleyball on the banks.

It was fun playing volleyball in sand.

Myself and vamshi then buried neelkant inside the sand till his neck… I had a wonderful photo when neel was in this condition but he deleted the same any way no issues…next time neel…..

After having a wonderful breakfast…. At around 9.30 we started for rafting… hmmm all the boys were very happy to see 2 girls joining our raft ….. one unlucky thing like the last time was we couldn’t carry our camera to the place where I wanted the most number of snaps……

Unlike last time when I was here in winter this time I spent 70% of my time outside the boat that is in the water…. We dived all the way… swam across the water pulled each other … splashed water at each other… all together it was fun….. one important point over here whenever the girls dived all the boys were ready and eager to lift them back to the bed hahahaha but no one was in a mood to lift their old father…. pooooor chap….


Since it had rained water levels were very high and the boat swung in all directions… all together it was fun filled with lots of adventure…. At the end we reached the point for cliff jumping…. Unlike last time…. Since the water had raised to a great extent the distance between the cliff and the water was a bit less almost everyone of us jumped into the water many a times… I jumped 5 times it was fun….

At around 2 after an adventures rafting we started back to noida immediately.. this was a mistake we made we should have enjoyed till night and then we should have left the place… any way it was the end of one more wonderful and meaning full trip… but after the trip I am sick and having fever….still recovering from the same.

Snow Mountains…..

One of the best trips I had ever been was on its way.. for a long weekend we had. I planned a lot but looks like handling different people is not my cup of tea. Had lots of confusion till the day we left that is on 25/1/2006 evening. I will remember these silly stuffs for really long time and of course my failures in handling them. Any way at the end of the day we were 9 people on board to a wonderful trip to god’s own land Auli.


We left directly from office on 25th evening, but had to pick up few members of our team on the way as they could not get their luggage to office. This time I was joined by Naveen Tomsy, Neelkant, Ajay, Jahir Saleem, Selva Ganesh, Prakash, Gaurav and Anil Chand all in all 9 member team.

We started from noida at around 8pm our first break was to be at Haridwar. We reached Haridwar at around 1am. We broke our journey at this point for a break as we had a hectic journey ahead of us.

Early next morning of 26th we started from Haridwar through the fantastic land of mountains all around us and river ganga flowing on the other side of the mountain through out your journey. We had breakfast at Rishikesh. Here I warned saleem not to have egg as we had tough journey ahead but saleem was in no mood telling nothing’s going to hamper his spirits.. hahaha.. all eggs came out within 2 hours.

The journey from Rishikesh to Joshimath our next destination was really hard, tough and scary. As and more we went up, we could see a tiny stream of water down which in itself was a very hard river which gallops everything on its way. Even though the distance from Rishikesh to Josimath is just 240Kms it takes 10-12 hrs, you can imagine the terrain. No match to these strong mountains. Also we could see some landslides along the road. Everyone were getting very tired by the end of the day anyhow our enthu was kept alive with some VCDs we got on the way.

We reached Joshimath at around 6pm and booked a hotel over here. We can get hotel rooms at very nominal prices right from 100bugs to any amount you want. After freshening ourselves we went for some warm clothes shopping in joshimath. Once back we had wonderful dinner and everyone went to bed very early, as everyone wanted to spend every minute possible in Auli the next day.

As usual I got up every early the next day at around 6, there was no light in the hotel it was very dark I just went to the counter to check out if I could get any one for help but horror struck me when I saw a big dog “Rocky” roaming in the corridor with no man around. As soon as it saw me it came to me, I got scared a bit but it was lovely dog… it came with me all along to the counter I could not find anyone because of the darkness and I went back to bed waiting for the light to come out.

At around 7 I could see light through my window I woke up and took gaurav and prakash to rooftop. What a pleasant weather it was with huge mountains all around you. We could even see some snow caped mountains. But the best thing was when the first light of sun fell on these snow mountains it looked like golden mountains, amazing view.. I captured every moment of these in my camera.

At around 9am we started from our hotel to Auli through india’s longest and lengthiest rope way. Auli is blocked by road in winters, so we need to use ropeway to reach there. This place is not occupied by civilians, it’s a place only for skiing, you can say skiing paradise for the soft snow and slopes it provides. We reached Auli at around 10.30 everyone in the team was mad after seeing snow all around us.

This was my first experience in snow and I was really amazed to see this wonderful place. The best thing I liked in this place was this pure white snow in its undisturbed format. We could see the smooth curves of snow. It was around 2 feet snow I believe were in our foot completely went inside the snow. Here everyone enjoyed skiing for sometime. Skiing was not as that easy I thought, balancing was really tough and every one kept falling till the end. After around 2hrs of skiing everyone was very tired, so we thought of going to a near by mountain by walk you can call it a small trek in snow it was around 1.5km walk I belive, but was really difficult as oxygen level was very less and also your leg sinks in the snow making walk uncomfortable.

Anyway after a small walk through a small forest filled with snow we opened up again to a wonderful place where in many of our teammates had wonderful drink, in fact the drink they would cherish for long time. We took lots of snaps to backup our memories. We danced like mad men, but it was fun.

We could see “NandaDevi” peak from this place, this is india’s second highest peak. The time was around 3 and it was time for us to return back as the last trip back to joshimath was at around 4. We enjoyed every moment in this place any way we wanted to stay in this place for a night but it was very costly. We came back to joshimath at around 4.30 everyone was very tired and everyone had sever headache so everyone went to bed for taking rest. We could not start our journey back as we cannot travel in this place during nights.

We started early morning of 28th from joshimath back to noida. On the way back we stopped for small break near the river, this was equally good place for the peace it possessed in it. This is where Saleem got into river for a short swim, he couldn’t stay in water for even 5 min because of the chillness of water. After which we started back to noida without wasting any more time.

We reached rishikesh at around 7pm after having dinner, we had a small camp fire and danced around having lots of fun. Neel and Tomsy really enjoyed their drink dancing all around.

We were back to noida at around 12.30. End of one more wonderful trip.

Water Rafting
After having done with some adventures in forest, mountains, sand and snow this time around I decided to take something new and the option left was water rafting. This word by itself thrills… because of the ferocity and thrill involved in this. We decided to have our new year bash on the banks of river ganga followed by an adventure sport.

We planned for the trip just a day or two before new year and this time our team had good strength it was around 14 people Mayank, Avinash, Anajali, Sanjoyth, Anil Chang, Soni, Amith, Hari and Ramya, Ratnakar and Pallavi, Snehal and Shwetha .. at last myself Poorna Prajna. We planned to go for river rafting near Rishikesh and hence continued with the plan on 31/12/2005 the last day of year 2005..


We had 3 Cars.. Ford (Anil), Swift (Soni ), Getz (Sanjoyth). We started from Delhi around 11am, We all met near a petrol bunk, here I need to mention a point myself and anil left to Sri’s place for getting the music system but every one was waiting for us for almost 30min… well well the best thing was myself and anil had a wonderful breakfast in Sri’s place. A point to mention in this trip we all missed Sri and Summi a lot more over the whole trip was planned and channelized by Sri..

After a wonderful breakfast we all started moving toward Rishikesh, the distance is around 260kms, however nothing was interesting neither the road nor the traffic both of these factors tested our F1 driver’s skills a lot. Nothing much to mention about our journey just a small break for lunch. At last we made it to Rishikesh at around 6.45pm from there we need to move about 20km to ShivPuri. We had all the arrangements made ready at this place, hence we parked our vehicle at this place.

The journey from shivpuri to marine drive had some thrill involved in it as all 14 members of our team along with our luggage traveled to the destination on a single jeep can u believe it 14+2 with luggage on a single jeep but it was fun anil and shoordeep was sitting on top of the jeep and myself,baba(avinash),snehal were standing on the footbar outside the jeep it was fun moving on the curved roads hanging like this in that chilled weather.

Once we reached our start point we had to move down from the road to the banks of ganga in the dark, it was totally dark and also a bit slippery but all together it was fun moving through the flora along the banks of ganga. Once we reached to the banks of ganga we could see our tents across the river and boats were waiting for us to take us on the other side of the river. This was pretty risky but loved taking it, because we were traveling across the hard river without any life jackets.

Once we reached the tents we started dumping our luggage and then everyone assembled across the campfire. We freshened up ourselves and then we were provided with some snacks. Everyone was very hungry and everything disappeared with in minutes.

Then started our new year bash with lots of drinks and antakshari…. However our main attraction was DJ Anil for all the remix we got to hear for the first time. One thing we missed a lot was the music system which we carried all the way did not work for us. That was very unfortunate and would have added lots of fun if it had worked. Any way it was fun sitting in front of fire in that cold weather on the banks of ganga. After welcoming new year with lots of cheer and smile we had dinner with another team who had come from IIT delhi, at around 1 we went to bed in our respective tents.

Well I felt like I spent the first day of year 2006 in the best possible way right from the beginning…When I came out of the tent the weather was simply superb. High oxygen levels, chilled weather and the pleasant river in front of you teasing you to jump into it well simply out of words to explain the beauty of nature over here. Few of our team members went for a pleasant morning walk I think they enjoyed a lot looking at the beauty over this place.

After freshening ourselves by around 7.30 and after having some tea we started playing volley ball.. you can say beach volley ball on the sand it was fun for the amount of pain we had hitting the ball in that cold weather. We played around four matches and after that no one had any energy left to do anything everyone were completely drained so had to stop the game forcibly. We had our breakfast and then the team split into individual group of 4-5 people in different directions to enjoy nature and its beauty. I had some fun taking some wonderful snaps all along the way.

The time we waited for the most anyway came at around 12.30 we finished our lunch and everyone was ready to raft on the ferocious ganga with highest energy levels. After hearing to the instructor about the safety tips and once we were done with the safety gadgets like helmet and life jackets we jumped into 2 different rafts.

One unfortunate thing in this journey was we were unable to capture the most fascinating and thrilling moments on water in our camera, as it was very risky to carry our camera in these conditions. However we enjoyed every moment of rafting splashing water at each other teams, racing each other and of course teasing each other all the way.

I did Rafting for the first time and it was really fun for the amount of risk involved in it. I personally felt like anything can definitely happen if things don’t go in your way. The depth of water, the chillness of water and the force of water every thing is, in itself a potent energy to take out the life from our body. Tides were so powerful that our raft started jumping to almost 90 degrees but it was fun competing against the high tides with your willingness to achieve it. In between everyone jumped into water just to have fun but no one could remain in water for more than 3-4 minutes as the water was very cold, it was like you will freeze to death if you remain in water for about 15 minutes. After around 3 hrs of rafting we reached a point for cliff jumping. Well I will definitely remember this place for the fun, thrill and scare it gave me over here. Everyone stopped to do cliff jumping, Cliff jumping is something like you need to climb a huge rock about 25feet and then need to jump from there to the river which is around 50-100feet dept. No one from the team was ready to take it up since it was very cold and every individual was shivering, anyway I was in no mood to let this opportunity go out of my hands. To be frank when everyone backed up even I was a bit scared for the amount of risk I was taking, risk factor over here was like while jumping we need to be careful about the rocks around and then also the chillness of the water beneath…. Anyway I had made my mind to give it a try and I am happy that I did it…

A few thrilling moments in my life, my instructor gave all the instructions regarding how to jump and how to swim back. Well I did not know swimming but I had life jackets, any way I ran a few metes and then took a deep breath and jumped from the rock…. It was moments of my life I got scared and I closed my eyes and when I hit the water with great force and as and more I was going inside the water I could feel the pain in my bones because of the pressure and cold deep inside. I panicked a bit and drank some water because of which when I came to surface I was unable to breath properly for few moments and I was not even able to think what I should do, all my teammates got a bit tensed sensing some injury to me anyway nothing happened to me and I was in fine condition and slowly I started moving towards the boat. But all in all this was a wonderful experience for me something new and fascinating. After this we reached laxman julla where we were suppose to end our journey and move towards our car. We covered ourselves with some warm clothes and then after having wonderful snacks we started our return journey towards noida.

All in all a wonderful way to welcome the new year ( 2006 ) and a wonderful weekend, thanks to the entire team.. special mention to sri, snehal, baba, anil, soni, hari for making it a gr8 success.

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.
