An experience of a life - time.
Hey Guys !!!
Me am back from an exhilirating, absolutely amazing outing - Rafting n trekking combined!!! And although I've been on around 20-25 treks before this, there are still many 'firsts' on this trek -
1. my 1st Rafting experience,
2. my 1st trekking experience with leeches [ 'jonk' in hindi] en-route, sucking the blood like hell.. ,
3. 1st trek on which we crossed an over-flowing mountain river which had flow soo strong that we couldn't put our feet down, and, if we could manage that, couldn't pick them up !!
4. 1st time I saw such an awesome - awesome waterfall !! - it seemed like a milk-fall rather than a water fall..
Best part was, we stayed deep deep in the jungle, in a jungle lodge. Even though my village is in mountains itself [uttaranchal, near the drowned town, Tehri], and we used to go there yearly once, still, I found this to be an experience of a life time!! !!
We saw wild things - no, not the movie, but real wild things - a king cobra, a scorpion being eaten by loads of ants, a huge crab [around 10-11 inches end-to-end], and of course the leeches [ I don't know how much blood I managed to unwilfully 'donate' to them - at last count, I'd been devoured and 'sipped' up by around 20 leeches..]
Even rafting was too cool a thing to do - unadulterated fun.. :) .. and we were around 13 of us, so we sat in 2 rafts, and had sort of a race, with the instructors in the raft ahead 'accidentally' splashing water on those behind :) :)) .. we were wearing life jackets, so they encouraged us to get down into the water, and have fun !! and boy, did we have fun ??? u bet we did !!
Guys, those of u with a taste for adventure really must go there sometime - this place is near udupi, and is really too too tooo fundu... pictures n detailed story sometime later on...
take care,
god bless n happiness always :),

White Water River Rafting :)
Hi All !!
Since I've come down here to bangalore, haven't been able to do any of the things I've liked the most - trekking, hiking, being close to the nature - nothing. [ okay, have been to the Bannerghatta National Park a couple of times, but the feeling's more like being in a cage and being visited by a couple of white tigers :) ].. and I was feeling really desperate to do something of the sort. Earlier in the week, I came to know of a white water river rafting camp, and I grabbed the opportunity with both hands, both feet - even with my teeth !
And finally, I am going !! yippie !! going to a trip to Sitanadi nature camp, in Udupi district, some 350 odd kms from here. Its gonna be a 10 km long rafting experience, which I'm gonna have for the first time in my life :) ..
I Just Love Nature ...... !! :)
You can get more information about the trip [and see pictures of the place] on the website of Care Adventure - http://careadventure.com/W_WaterRafting.htm .
Have a wonderful weekend Junta - I am surely gonna have one ;) ...
God bless n happiness always,
take care of urself and those around u,

Yeh Dosti ....
Hi guys !!!
Sorry, been a bit busy these days, so couldn't post for long - even this one's not from the intended-posts list, but nevertheless :)..
First of all, Fellow Bloggers, a very Happy Friendship Day - hope u enjoyed it to the hilt !! :) [ though these wishes are a bit belated, but as Tan said, wishes from the heart are never late :) :P ]
To the Best friends in my life:
You know who you are, you know what you are to me, more importantly, you know what I am with you and you know what I am because of you - here's a wish that we remain that ways, in each other's hearts, even though many a times we may not be able to talk, or stay in touch for quite a while. I truly feel blessed to have u ppl in my life. I DO. Thanks, god :) !!
I feel the song 'Yeh Dosti' was written keeping especially us in mind ;) :P - a sample will tell you -
This also reminds me of the best portrayal of friendship n trust that bollywood has done, in Gulzar's Maachis. The amazing relationship Kirpal, Veera and Jassi is truly amazing !! [ more about this in some other post .. :) ]
God bless all of us.
Amen.

Yeh Dosti, hum nahin todenge,
todenge dam magar, tera saath na chhodenge..
meri jeet teri
jeet, teri haar meri haar,
sun o mere
yaar,
hansna rona sang hai, jeena marna
sang hai...
jaan pe bhi khelenge,
tere liye le lenge, rab se dushmani...
