MY FIRST TREKKING EXPERIENCE

2009-08-19T23:57:00.000-07:00

It was one year back. Actually I’d a plan for a backpack trip. As a beginner, its a great risk to travel alone, especially to wild areas. At last I got a chance. From office we arranged one trip to Wayanad.

I was really excited about the trip .. huge backpack on my back…wearing trekking outfit…. was dreaming a lot.

This dream may be the outcome of my keen inner desire. Quest for travel follows my dreams too. I love to travel….but not alone. Its not because of the fear of safety…just imagine, if we are sharing our pleasure with loving someone (don’t limit this to lover or life partner. Think wide) sure the result will be double. But our companion should carry the same spirit. Otherwise journey will be a nightmare.

Ok…coming back to the story. After visiting many places, we reached at Edakkal cave.

Actually I was little bit tired of long bus journey. I didn’t have much expectation.

Then we started trekking without any safety measures. When I was 7 years old I went to Sabarimala. This was the only experience I’d. But it was easy as walking in street. I didn’t feel that I did something adventurous.

Within 1-2 kms so many girls left the plan. They sat beside and took rest. This made me more confident. In middle climbing became tough. I tied my sandals with my chunni and hung it around my neck. All my team were encouraging me.. because I was the only girl in that team. It was not that easy job. Believe me…its not self boasting. Anyway we reached on top….coming down was difficult than climbing up.

I was so excited…may be because of first experience. It was an overwhelming experience. I’m making blueprint for more adventurous trips…I don’t know when it will happen. But sure it will happen.

AN ACCIDENT

Oh My God! How cursed day it was!

India the great country of impartiality…especially Kerala the Gods own country..!

All the roads and public places equally deserved for people and animals…no any discrimination!

Could you imagine in any other country it will happen?

I and my friend were on bike. Just two meter ahead a group of buffalos …!

we reached 3-4 feet behind….suddenly it happened! The most fateful day of my life!

One of the buffalo fought with another. Suddenly it turned towards our bike…I could see this much.. I fell backward… and became unconscious….even in the vague memory I could hear my friend’s screaming.

Any way, I appreciate one thing. Humanity didn’t loose at all.

Some kindhearted people came through, and they took us to hospital…

How could I forget pierced hand of my friend?

I won’t blame the animal…its quite normal they have the right to resist.

I’m so patriotic …but feeling so sad to be an Indian in some extent.

We celebrate our 62 years of independence ….but when we look back …

Could we be proud in our success? Still leaving many questions….remains as questions….

Who did mistake here? We? … poor animal? or our rules?

I don’t know….but still my wound didn’t heal….

CONFUSED

I’m totally confused…
When I look through the window of mind..
I could see fading days…
Darkness will come within no time..
Its too late to decide…
But still sparks of hope shining inside..
Could he come before dusk …
Could I see him before the darkness hiding my eyes???

I feel like screaming to world
I’m here…awaiting ….only for him

WHERE ARE YOU????

Searching never ends….
Could I walk through the hanging bridges of memories???
Could I remember the word I lost somewhere??
Give back my memories…my beloved…
Give back my destiny.

I don’t know where I lost my way….
Do you remember me??? Did we meet somewhere??
Take that moment….call me back to that moment.
I feel like to live in that day again.

Look…rain ends now….
Trees started raining ….
I remember the promise…
Now you come with me in the rain…
Sit for a while in the shadow of our ‘Gulmohar’
I could see the stars now.
Did you ever think about a starry rainy night???
Don’t call me foolish again…believe me …
My dreams are not away from truth.

Kiss me on my closed eyes….
Don’t make me awake from my deep sleep…
But kiss me on my forehead.
Don’t leave me alone ….
Wait for me till I wake up.
