Evening came and a sudden feel descended over me! I felt that another longer walk would help me to figure out the trivialities and idiosyncrasies of life. So this time with the fellowship of cousins numbered 4 we set off in the pursuit of adventures. Trekking was what we had in mind. There are 2 hills at about a 3 km distance from our place. We decided to conquer them.
The ascent was not so steep; one again has to be careful of not stepping over innocuous looking rat holes harboring snakes. The climb took about 30 mins. At the top of the hill is a circular water tank. One can climb it and get a panoramic view of the entire region. The Sahyadris look magnificent from the top. Damn if only I had a handicam I would have shot a rock video at that place! The descent was a bit difficult especially with 3 of us wearing floaters and the kid sister wearing of all things wearable-heels!
Yet we managed somehow. We took yesterday’s route again and trudged home in the dark. After 5 kms the little one called out for mercy. She was feeling very thirsty.Somehow we located a shop selling Sprite and again a few divine truths were realized. Gymming helps. The trek was one big hit.
