Nagala Re-visit

"Whom did you like the most in this group?" Biju asked.. "Come on yaar... don't be shy... which girl or lady did you like in this group?" We were having an intro-session at the 2nd pool in Nagala on a Sunday afternoon. Biju was the organizer who took the challenge of taking 82 members, most of them first-timers to CTC's most favourite trekking spot, the Nagala western entry. We had started from Koyambedu at 5:30 AM and after a short stop at Poondi reservoir, we reached Nagala at 8:30. Photo courtesy Karthik R After a quick breakfast of Sweet Bun, bananas and frooty, we started the trek at 9:00 AM. I got my first shock ten minutes later when my Nikon D80 declared 'she' was not working on that Sunday!

Above the water level, she was just average! Any ways, I d...

Vof & Hemkund Trek - Day 0

Day 0: Aug-10-2007 7:30 PM: Oh God! I am half an hr late! (yeah.. yeah.. I can hear you guys... " Whats new in it ". Right?).

Finally I got my window seat in a bus that within 5 mins became a crowded (sorry.. its ' over-crowded '!) bus. It was showing 8:15 in my mobile when our driver decided to start the bus! Thank God! Atlast! Shall I sound the bugle for informing the start of my journey? Wait a min! Whats that? Traffic jam ! Oh god! Not now!!! After listening to a dozen latest hits, hundreds of ads and many requests from Sheela Dixit to Delhi people to drive Safely and Sensibly on various FM stations, we had reached just MahipalPur at 9:00!

T his Feb, its going to be 5 yrs since I started this wonderful Journey! This blog and all the networking sites associated with it has given me so much (though I must confess I have been unfaithful many times) I guess its only fair I fulfill all the promises I made you and share with you all I have, before the day. Even though the blog name says " Me, Myself and My Journey " it was never 'Mine' alone. Each trip posted here (and the ones still pending) was possible only because of the support I got from my Dear & Near ones. Hours of planning, long calls, hour long discussions, leave letters, ticketing, hotel bookings, (without advance booking), the wait to reach you all, the meeting points, the start, the journey, happiness, laughter, farewell, promise of a next journey, leaving back to own homes, and then the wait - you made it all possible all these years.
