5. The sun is also a star (HERO)

When I was in 7^th standard my geography teacher told us that the sun is also a star, and when I heard word “STAR” the first thought came to my mind was some Bollywood star.

After school when I reached to home I told my mother everything taught by my geography teacher and said mummy the sun is also a hero like Sharukh Khan and Salman Khan.

My mother laughed a lot and then told me exactly, what the difference in both the stars is.

Now comes to this pic, after 12 years of that incident I was sitting in some deep outer Himalayas 16000 feet above the sea level waiting for the golden sunrise. And here comes the sun, and this time the first thought came to my mind was “YES REALLY THE SUN IS A STAR.”

There was nothing in the sky, only the sun was there. The sun was alone, but it still shining. This is a quality of star(HERO).

4. Everyone wants to say something, even The Hills

 

Whenever I see this picture, it always sends me back to that trek.

It’s like a live picture.

 
When I was there at Churdhar top, I was looking at this hill n it was like, that hill was talking to me n saying nobody visits me, everybody goes by passing me and praise my beauty but nobody treks me, at least for once come n trek me and then look at the view from here.

Unfortunately, as other does, me also dropped the idea to trek that hill because of lack of time, but I promised to that hill that on my next trek for sure I will be there

A lot of Pahadis were there who were trekking that, they had very good practice, they were encouraging me and my friends to trek and describing us the view. But we were already late.

I set there at Churdhar top for around two hours, i isolated myself and started doing meditation, that was the best part of trek.

After around 30 minutes of meditation when i opened my eyes, everything was changed. it was looking amazing and i was feeling so much refreshed.

Then i started looking at the surrounding beauty and the view from that top. It is outer Himalayas range, and it was like every hill is talking to me, every hill want to say something.

3. Never give up- An Indian Army officers's like quality

 

Trekking is not for everyone, trekking is for the one who want to feel freedom, peace, nature, real oxygen, paradise on earth, etc.
Trekking was never my cup of tea till that CHURDHAR TREK. Within 20 minutes my backpack was ready, I was in fever but my friends were planning for some weekend trip so I was also in. After around 6 hours of drive, in the morning 7 AM we reached to our base camp that is Nauradhar.
After trekking for around half an hour I was done, I said, I am not going to trek anymore, but my friends (Akeel, Varun, Rana & Rakesh) they motivated me, Rakesh took my backpack, and what Akeel said I started doing that, he said JUST FEEL THE PATH. I started feeling from my heart, after some time it actually became so easy.
A lot of things happened on this trek, but i must say all was amazing.

 After this trek I am changed a lot and also planning for our trek that is Srikhand Mahadev with same team.

2. All journey have secret destinations of which a traveller is unaware

"All journey have secret destinations of which a traveler is unaware", this local villager proved this line true.
A restaurant owner or you can say hut owner because at this place they call it hut not restaurant, a tourist guide, a cook, a responsible villager because he didn't allow anyone to smoke because it's not good for health and wealth of one and others around. We set with him for around half an hour and in that span of time he described almost everything about that place.
Amazing personality.
I asked to him, from when you are here in answer he asked to me my age, i said 23, he said multiply by 3.
From when you are are doing this work, he replied multiply by 2.
I asked from when you have this hut, he replied half your age.
I asked, why are you not replying me directly he replied
"THODA APKA DIMAG KO BHI KAM KRNE DO SAHAB".

1. Always go for right path in your life

 

 

I was going up and she was coming down but both of us had same thing in our mind, that was our goal, her goal to reach school, my goal to scale 3600 mt. trek in 8 hours.
So, doesn't matter which way you are going. What matters is the way, right or wrong, here both of us were on right way.

What actually i want to say by this post is that whatever is the situation in your life never go for wrong paths or shortcuts because they look good, beautiful and attractive, but when we actually follow that path, then it hurts most.

On this CHURDHAR TREK it actually happened with me and my friend Akeel, we were a group of five trekkers, after trekking around 500m, according to a temporary board erected on the path, there were two paths, one was long other one was shortcut, me and Akeel went for longer one and other three (Varun, Rakesh & Rana) went for shortcut.

We (me and Akeel) had not anything to eat with us other than a cold drink and some dry fruits. We struggled a lot, but the route was very beautiful, small-small villages, little kids going to schools and wishing us good day, which was reminding me of my childhood. That surrounding beauty of hills, sweet pea fields took away the whole pain from our body. We forget that we are lost and we had nothing to eat. We trekked for around three and half hours to reach our first stop.
To our surprise we had reached before them and had to wait for around thirty five minutes. 

Finally they came and they were almost crying, they had everything  with them food, fruits, water, all after that they were not happy and only line again and again they were saying was “it was not a shortcut, bro it was one of the most toughest route”, me and Akeel laughed a lot. After that, through out the whole trek they all followed us.

This is what we achieved, WE BECAME THE LEADERS and got new names CAPTAIN SAHAB.

 

Beautiful pahadi girl😘 Wished me good luck good morning n gave a beautiful smile which i captured for ever.
