What's in there?: ..a wandering night, a shivering dawn & a place unknown!

A holiday on Friday is indeed a welcoming sign for a great weekend, though its a different thing that mostly it evaporates so soon that you are left with just another weekend. But sometimes it just paves the way for an adventurous weekend, sets the mood for some real fun, and gives you the much required "time" to plan that exciting thing that has always been on your mind but couldn't take charge as everytime you discover it- you realize that you are almost through the weekend, so you prefer hanging around in your "comfort" zone rather than going "out of the way".So after a little discussion; and lots of convincing directed towards the "defensive" crowd of our group; few rounds of "santaape" (as we fondly term it, and when it seems as the only viable option left in the universe to move the subtle, aging, non-enthusiast child of ours), we did come up with something substantial and "BMC" was the word.
"Night Trek at Ramnagaram" is how they put it, while "bak-chow-di at night" is what we discovered it was(no offensive meant but instead a thanks to the great personality that helped us re-discover this already known "term" in altogether a new, fresh, and revamped accent.. cheers MADI!). Anyhow the trek seemed to take off with torches i hand, sleeping bags on shoulders, camera in hands, and blacked-out path. The legs started moving, the light started clearing the darkness ahead, and cameras started flashing and amidst all this we cruised along. Fences, rocks, muddy patches laid down in our path made it exciting for the "noob" trekkers to challenge their spirits. After long stretches of path exploration, we felt like reaching somewhere in the middle of nowhere; when suddenly innumerable stairs welcomed us. Half drained out, we continued the directionless, aimless mission of ours with never-ending flight of stairs. And then came the much awaited question, How many more? Reply: 150- done; 250 more. Hmm.. not that pleasing though, but is their any other option? Yes why not.. Red Bull, a dose of instant energy :)!!
So after a brief halt the exploration resumed; now through more challenging paths, with renewed spirits, with skewed vision, with lewd characters, and crude precision.. with some thinking "Shit man.. what a screwed decision!" Landmarks came and passed-by, but the path doesn't seem to end so easily. And then came the NEXT STEP.

And Ahead...

The steps became steeper, the heights became exponential, the path became narrower, the energy left was shallower, mind was the planner, legs were followers. Scope of error became thinner, fear was inner, survivor was the only winner, the task was a stunner! The opinions were diverse, with some clinging on to every piece of metal that can support their upward move; while others put up a cheerful expression for the lens's sake; and for some it all seemed a piece of cake. With all sorts of balancing act the dwindling steps finally paved their way to the "hill-top". Cold indeed it was, as everyone had imagined it to be, but the absence of bonfire made the sequence of events henceforth unpredictable. The sleeping bags did try their best to give some relief to the frozen souls beneath, but in vain. Finally, it was 'songs' and 'sutai ' that helped us keep awake and feel the moment. Some 'like-minded' souls did explore the extremities of the hill top; talked away time; before returning to the place where the night awaited us. The breeze had an uncanny flow, the spirits sinked low, the sun had already refused to grow; and sooner we realized it was time to go!! But what awaited us back now was a path which was travelled the previous night unknowingly under the cover of darkness, which taken away can lead to unexplainable consequences. Its sometimes easier to do things without seeing or knowing them. Anyways, yet again we cruised our way back; though with some unquotable exchange of expressions and some weird glanced now & then.

But all in all, a night worth spent, a dawn worth seen, an adventurous trek it has been.

ps: Just do it!!

Some stay to be Rich; while some Ditch and do the dynamic Switch!!

Sometimes its difficult to gather some incidents that occurred over the last few days; which turns you on to write a blog; and are worth quoting!! To be true, I am completely blank about what i am gonna write next as i start off with the first line(thats what happens to you when you start working!!).. but yeah thats the 'amazing' part of writing.. isnt it? Anyhow, the week started 'hectic'; traversed though some busy patches; and appeared to end last night in the NGV Park, when just-in-time we realized that its still the mid of the week! But you know the weather here coupled with a group of friends makes you feel that way. So, the 'talk of the oracle' finally made it to 'the place' where some 'in your face' facts were revealed about the 'to be dynamic switch', with everone else being the witness; while her highness' slept in their comfort zone :P

Going further down to the start of the week or i should say the previous weekend :).. you realize how it felt to try your hand at some cooking (and yes having the pleasure of playing with the stomach of a bunch of friends).. though going with their 'quoted' remarks i feel that i did end up doing a decent job! (or did they just replied that way to compensate for their late showing up! :()

Nways; much said and less done.. its time to hold my thoughts for now and get some things in place... //

au revoir!;
