My trip
Ah yes my Trip....since my last post...i almost forgot this account.....no i dnt hv many blogs....i dnt believe in reading or writing so seriously ;) and thats the most apt reason for not writing since few months.
So my trip was very interesting wid places like beautiful scapes of auli, the last village mana near mana pass on sino-india border and the vasudhara falls enroute to last steps followed by pandavas after mahabharat.
Travelling wid myths and tales amidst beautiful places free from internet and mobile sewa is jus too cool and relaxing.
Since my childhood i hv been reading folk tales and fairy tales both from india and russia. I hv always felt a connection between the two. same mountains, rivers, demons, child- a hero, the granny and when u r in garhwal wid all its mystique and beautiful faces these tales come alive.
Some stories almost came live on this trip too.... myself and this friend Sangeeta(trip was her courtesy...thnx) were staying as Brigadier's guest at Joshimath...we had a very beautiful room with a view...absolutely wonderful hospitality. but at night we started hearing all sorts of noise of smone jumping or going from one place to another or banging on doors/wall near our window....first day we thot its some cat or may be the sepoy on duty ...same thing happened the next day and the next.... both of us discussing all logical possibilties and trying not to think of those ghostly folk tales of hills....making fun of the stories. third day we went out to see whats there... a bit scared but acting practical and logical...lol. But interestingly the sepoy didn't hear any sound and next morning he agreed theres a cat stuck between the cottage roof.....and we relaxed!
so sometimes remembering such stories make the situation quiet interesting.
