Always remember Die with memories not with dreams . people often get confused with this line. When you get certain experience in your passionate work, you will automatically get the meaning and true essence that’s how it is. Sometimes you need to satisfy the inner child in you. Now and then, you should give time to yourself and enjoy wholeheartedly without any worries, deadlines, tensions and pressures.
Along with my bunch of friends, planned to go to a trek. We came across certain trekking planners. We have chosen ’Trekfit adventures’ whose office is in pune. We have contacted them and made a deal. We have chosen saraswad, which is near pali. We have started early in the morning for a two day trip, fully equipped ourselves with all the requirements and stuff. The bon voyage started quite good and the weather is sunny that day. We have taken a min bus for our travelling. While travelling there are two coordinators from trekfit adventures company along with us. They were very energetic and jovial. We have played many games during the travel which includes funky dances, singing songs, chatting, happy yellings, some rubbish shouts, etc. We became total kids during this travel. Best travel filled with memories. There are several others who joined in the amid of journey from other states. Irrespective of our ages, cultures, time zones, languages. We united for enjoyment, for that very moment. Soon we became friends. After two hours of party filled journey. We have reached our Destination. The trek is 4-5 hours and there is a night camp. The climate is good. We are all in pleasant moods for thrill and entertainment. We went there to satisfy our inner soul with pomp and thrill. We started the trek. For every 10 minutes of forest walk, we got to see beautiful sceneric beauties of mother nature. The trees, the small creepy animals, the hills, the dew, the climate, the river, the cool breeze which makes to fall in love with it. One cannot express his awesomeness of mother nature neither by words or pen. If anyone wants to feel it they should experience it. That’s it. There is no alternative.
I feel obliged to go for that trek. The memories I made. The fun we had. The thrill we experienced. Those are all remain as a sweet chapters in my life. Once I look back in life , these memories make me missed, cry, happy, confident. Yes, memories do make us confident. They will create a healthy atmosphere for the future to make. They make us ready for any kind of battle. Memories make us stronger more emotionally. I am really glad that I made upto that trek.
Later in the middle of the forest, we have taken our snacks which were in our bagpack as energy boosters and continued our trekking. During the walk in the forest there are many gigs and laughs between us. Even now I get smile while recollecting those. After some point we have reached a ancient lord shiva’s temple, which is around 2000 years old. There are two marghs to it. We have stayed there for a while and continued our trekking. There are lot others like us who are in trekking to the mountain so there is no missing of anyone. There were lot of ups and downs in the walk. The hilly terrain made us to slip sometimes on the stones due to cogulated dew above them. We have eachother. We helped ourselves to successfully to get on the top of the hill. After reaching that height, the view is just breath taking. We thought for a while, like are we reached heaven? !. The cool heavy breeze, the top of the world feel is just amazing. Basically I am a Hyderabadi guy from telangana state. Our Hyderabad is a planar area, hills are very few in count. My parents didn’t allow me to go outdoors as I fear a lot. Due to company work I came to pune, which allowed to discover inner me, and I started to go outdoors. Now I came over my fear and I am dare enough to go to any places on my own. Actually after this trek I am quite interested in climbing mountains and hills, definitely I will do those in near future. And I even started seeing Discovery channel for Bear grills program and understood the importance in it.
After reaching that height, we were speechless by seeing the god’s own created beauty. At that point, the feel which you get, will be remembered for life. Villages , trees, valleys all seems to be of very small in size. Comparing with the size of the world, our problems are like a small sand grain. Dont let your problems command your life. You command them, show them your superior and boss to them.
Later while climbing down, we faced small injuries but we made sure not to take rest in between. After some distance we came to a heavenly waterfall. Leaving all our stuff behind we jumped into the lake and enjoyed to the core. The laugh, the swim, the childlish acts, are all become instant add ons to the trek. We stayed some time there. And started our walk towards the the camp area. This is the second best part, we got freshed and had some eatables. We sat in the night, shivering for the cold, exchanged and shared all our grieves , achievements, fun moments. we sang songs sometimes, we played some games like tambola, some had sung very emotionally which made everyone cry. Thank god, mobile phone signals are out of reach, everyone came , participated, had laughs, shared feelings, involved totally in to the situation. We kept talking on childhood memories and regular lifestyles. We had our best time. No egos, no worries, everyone became friendly and participated actively. That is the best time in my life, it makes me cry even now , by rethinking about those times. The fun is infinity. There are no internal clashes and ego hurts. Everyone came forward to make it a memorable night. I am sure no one will believe this, because now a days things are more important than people. Offers and discounts are more important than emotions. Technology should not control us, we should control technology, it is our slave. We are not slaves to it.
We had a sound sleep for that breezy fresh touching air. The full moon in the sky, the cool air, the soft soil, what a perfect combination for sleep. That is the healthiest sleep I ever had. Automatically you will feel as your in the laps of mother nature.
Next day early morning, we started our walk towards the vehicles and completed our trek successfully. we are tired physically but not mentally. Some of my friends cried as they are going to miss the fun and they are feared going back to their normal sluggish lives. Next day, we all felt very sad, started missing those memories already. Time and tide waits for none. We cannot freeze time right.
Sometimes, money can’t buy you happiness. You should search within, through out years.
One of the best treks I had, which is equally funny and challenging. South India’s total nature beauty is captured in western ghats. Going there, is a fantasy come true. Just go there with your friends and have fun to the extreme.
