it started........

bin tere bin terreeeh

we started to climb ....
wait ..... before we started climbing we went to 'Lord Subramanya' Temple for 'darshan' of the lord and next few hours promised to be exciting ......

we had to walk some distance to reach mountain base . and due to scorching sun people were already getting tired before trekking started. everyone had to carry water bottle as no water source was there till u reach 'giri gadde' . the plan was every one will carry 2 litre water bottle , and everyone did. kudos to shekhi , he was very generous to 'donate' water he was carrying when ever some one was thirsty. so 'kind' of him .

mountain base . from here no looking back ( atleast as of now we thought ) . the whole bunch of people was rushing full of josh n enthu . not for long though . there should be some decipline . thatz the one basic rule we always follow while we are involved in trekking activity. so no more rushing now. everyone will follow one another in a single line . vinnyk will be heading the group and he will be first and shyam bhai was the last. but dunno y shyam was very unwilling to stay last ( of course no one would like to last in the line ) . perhaps he thought if he came last some one would nab him from behind. and there started our slogan . which started there and lasted till end our trekking event and even after that!!! . started by vinnyk promoted and made popular by shekhi , very famous " bin tere bin tereeh ....."

and we started continuing ;) . mitwa and dodda manja were climbing with full josh . soon our 'descipline' went for a toss. the group scattered. Shekhi was kind enough to 'donate' water to others which he was carrying. resting every 10 minutes we were continuing . as we were resting one more group just flashed past us . now our comment was " we also had same energy when we were in college . now that we are software engineers , we've lost that energy ( in other words we have become uncle's )".

having delicious unripe mangoes in between our trek where ever we stop for 'rest' , we continued. very eager to find bhatra mane and no where to be seen we were exhausted. consoling ourselves that we will reach there just after 'that' peak , we crossed several peaks. it was already time for sunset . and we wanted to reach our that day's destination before sunset. and there we saw a small 'thota' and yes we were near 'girigadde bhatra mane' . we were half way through our trek.

we dumped our backpack's in the house and went to a nearby peak to enjaai the sunset. yeah it was beautiful indeed :). Sat there watching sun going down in between mountains , appreciation of nature poured in. when darkness started covering and sun was gone , we realised . " we were hungry". we rushed back to bhatra mane only to find that it will take few more minutes to make the food ready. we came back to the peak spent few more minutes enjoying the nature ( in dark ??) . had some nice food 'anna' 'sambhar' and found ourselves place to sleep in bhatra mane . soon everyone was asleep . zzzzzzzzzzzz
