Ward off, ye evil eyes!!!

 Phew that was Quite a weekend...

Friday nite i had a sudden craving for Crispy Choconut and dragged P to a parlor after class, only to meet Mannu... he was complaining "Di why aren't u coming for the Trek tomm??" i was like "wat? wr?who?wen?".. i literally had no idea.. Kicked P who had enrolled without me... with only few hrs left, both of us quickly collected the essentials... as i hardly had any time left i cudnt stock on the snacks aka junk food and packed the only available cookie box... few 10 cookies against 45.. no chance of survival..

the destination was the Janapav hill.. situated some 30-40 kms away from the city, its the birthplace of Mr. Parashuram  and is the point wr almost 5 rivers originate from (Chambal, Gambir, Nakari..umm others i forgot.. shucks why did i forget my voice recorder..)

we started at arnd 10 pm from the base after a dinner of thick tandoor rotis and fire-in-the-mouth Peas Curry... passed the Jaswant Dam on Gambir river and quite some villages... it was kinda of spooky crossing a dead village with skeleton huts and stray dogs... the wood collectors started the job rite from the bottom that we had ample ammunition for the fire as we reached the but last pit stop..

some preferred sleeping while the mighty Rat indulged in some horror stories spooking P and some kids who joined us.. it was 5 am wen me started again for the final pit stop.. it was d Shiva Temple, the birth place of Mr. Parashuram who held his father's words more dear than his mother's life... umm, no comments... the adjoining Pond is supposed to have 7 inbuilt wells are d the point of origination for 5 rivers.. the light was so poor that i hardly found any... the sunrise view was a to-die-for-incredibly-awesome sight...

the way down was my favourite as d light was too good and i aimed my nemesis at anything and everything.. phew.. we reached the bottom by 8 am... had Oranges for Bfast, really don't ask.. there wasnt a single tea shop in view and all we cud find was a fruit-grocer shifting thru his oranges for that day's business...

reached the city by 9 30 am... yeah u guessed rite, Bunked office :-P got a call from a erratic sounding boss shouting to be at his place at 8 30 pm sharp.. i went to sleep thinking wat the business was that cudnt wait for another day and had to be solved at his place.. but Sleep was dear and my brain went blank, but wen was it ever useful...

well it turned out that Boss had invited me for a party at his place... thanks to R who called up at the 11th hour to save me from the shame of turning up at his place in Formal suit... d black halter number, i wore, invited quite some cat calls and hoots from fellow colleagues.. man do i thrive for attention???

well.. it was a great weekend  in all.. phew

P.S # My hair escaped the roughness of the Forest.. thanks to the Banana yellow Bandanna mom gifted me ages ago... phewww
