Okay I’ll see you at office. Please do come by 9pm i told
.Sure I'll be there she said. An strange feeling , whether we will enjoy or get
messed up as we were the only two Hindi speaking people.
At around 10 pm:
Hey, guys, so Journey starts now, i said...
Oh I have not brought any sweater, will it be too cold over there?
I asked. Yeah it will, Techie said. Okay let’s see (in excitement), i replied.
Anil this trip will gonna be a fun but only condition is you have to speak in
Hindi only (Actually he was trying hard to learn Hindi as he is a Malayali), I
told Anil. Sharma, humko Hindi bolega (his way of speaking hindi), said Anil.
So bus started from office (CDAC-T). Excitement was on top of the sky. At
around 12 a.m. everyone slept. I was struggling to adjust my legs to get a nap.
It was too hard to sleep. I looked around and found Techie was struggling the
same. Around 2 am temperature dropped further, but thanks for the support from
Techie.
Finally, next day at around 6 am we entered into Kodaikanal(Tamil
Nadu) region. The dawn was so beautiful as if I were at my home town (it was
almost similar to Uttarakhand’s hills). Beautiful forest, hills and chilly
climate. Most of were sleeping.
Me: Hey getup, i told Techie.
Techie: wow this gonna be a great fun. It is similar to
Darjeeling.
Me: Have you ever been there?
Techie: Yup, School time.
Me: Okay.
We were telling stories about school’s & college’s time.
At last we reached Kodaikanal. And Anil said –“Sharma ek hotel mein 50 logo ko
nhi aa sakta hum 4 ko idar rukega” :P. I was actually bit disappointed but
later i came to know that only for night stay we will stay here ,rest, for
everything (food and all) we will all together.
Finally entered into the hotel around (03/10/2014
@7.30am)...wow what a room. It was just awesome. We were told just to get fresh
and be ready as we will start for sight scenes at around 9.30am. At around 10 am
everyone met at our hotel and started. In bus most of us were new to one another
but within 10-20 minutes, we all started playing Antakrishi. Except we two, rest
were Malayali. Fun started like anything. We started dancing, Singing etc.
We reached “Coakers
Walk ”.The climate was damn good. It was a foggy one actually. Photography
started.
Me: Techie, lets follow the plan, I said. Actually we had DG
Cam but low quality so we decided where ever we will see good scenery, we will
simply go over there and stand, those DSLR cam guys will definitely take our pic.
Later we can collect at office. Luckily the plan worked very well :P
From there we moved to Bryant
Park. This park was full of different kind of flowers. Plenty of beautiful
butterflies were playing around. At around 2 pm we returned back to hotel for
lunch.
Having lunch we started again for the next destination ->
Lake View & Shopping. The best
thing about this destination was cycling. It was ultimate fun. The Day one had lots of memories with very special people.
Lake is in actually circular shape. Along with the bank of the Lake there is a cycling track. By the time we all were familiar face->Me ,Anil,Techie Jenita ,Divya,and Qutiee(forgot her name). It was almost evening. We were chasing to one another. Me and Jenita started the race, Anil and Techie followed us .But all sudden we lost the way and it was around 7.30pm .Somehow we reached to the right place. From there we all went to our bus and started back to the hotel. On the way again full fun ...singing songs, shouting and all. Once we reached at hotel, Techie started teasing us about her hotel as they got a very good view .I was actually jealous but above all i badly wanted to stay over there. Somehow at around 11pm we (me & Anil) said bye and went to our hotel.
Day 2:
At around 9 am, they all reached at our hotel. So the journey for the new destination started ->Pine forest view. That was just an amazing experience. We ran, shouted and did whatever drastic things we could do. Took hundreds of pic by giving all the possible poses .At the end in Pine Forest itself, there started " the crazy race" between me and Techie ...You are damn good at cheating :P anyway cheaters always wins :P :P. Ohh I forget to tell about the climate - it was dazzling ...the best possible climate anyone always wants for picnic.
From Pine forest we went to Guna Cave, Bear Shola Falls, Kurinji Andavar Temple and Pillar rock. By the time we had a very crazy group .We were simply shouting everywhere. Lots of things to tell. I really can’t express it in words.
Finally it was evening again so here comes the same destination- Lake View and boating. Actually I really don’t know how to express the feeling that time we had. We were divided in groups of four for boating. Me , Anil,Techie and Divya took paddling boat. Once we jumped into the boat, it started raining. That was the best fun I ever enjoyed. We all four were on the middle of the lake, It was dazzling .We were shouting, singing and at the same time we all were fully wet. Climate was chilly. Once we came back we were shivering actually. So planned to buy some sweaters. The ultimate fun here comes we both brought two sweaters for Rs. 200 :P
THE END…. <3
In Short
In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done, some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads. But they all make us who we are. Our Journey has come to an end for now... but the memories remain close to my heart; Forever and Always. I wish, if I can replay the same trip with so special one forever and ever.<3
