third day on.......
bicycle riding,.....check
scooter......check
stealing mangoes from someone else's orchard and not getting caught..... check
to jump into muddy water in very heavy rain and running towards baba and hugging and dragging him in it and ruining his pristine white kurta-paijama......check!
stealing baba's car key to went on a drive at 11 o'clock at night....
"your got caught at that one!" her mind made a remark
she failed at that one task, their maid Sonamma caught her sneaking out and her baba was mortified that night....though later he did took her out on a drive for ice cream
but AFTER THAT Amarenda Raichand made sure to put at least three locks on his garage and hid those keys as well. But that's not the point.....
point is, those were different type of fun and here ?
As they say, "the wealth of nature is best savored when touched and sensed"
Right now!
Exploring nature on foot, smelling fresh unadulterated air.......
Ah! heaven!
one HAS to experience the thrill, embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view to soak in the soul of this beautiful bounty of nature!
"Shawky do you know,....Manali was named after Manu, a Santan lawgiver. Manali is said to be a derivation of Manu-Alaya, which means Manu's residence. Manu is said to have halted at Manali to rebuild human life after a great flood swamped the earth, according to Hindu mythology. Manali is a now one of the beautiful city tucked away in the Kullu Valley, which is known as the "Valley of the Gods." and there is a historic temple attributed to the guru Manu may be seen in the town's native village."
'mmhhh ?' Shawkat looked around and inattentively answered.
Rahat and other campers looked highly impressed. Though Rahat knew his sister was a nerd but he wasn't really expecting her to give a description such as this about a town she had never been in before. She was talking like she grew up here. Though she was right........
so peaceful!
so serene!
green covered in ice at far away mountains they could see from the road, They felt so content, there is something about it, just can't described in word!
maybe because it's beautiful beyond description.......
you just have to close your eyes and think about Manali and you are transported to a dreamy fairyland-the beauty of the place which will leave you speechless and then turns you into a storyteller!
Insiyaa took a generous amount of breath.....she could almost smell fresh rain from the soggy, dump ground!
It was untimely though.....but last night rain did happen
It was 12 o'clock in the morning when they were sitting on some rickety benches, having steamed momo and maggi from street vendor, that's when they saw a wedding band party going with groom wearing colourful clothing at front riding a mare and bride inside a palki.......she could be seen through the cloth cover
like mid century!?
"Damn that thing still exists ?" Sankalp asked, it was fair after all he lived mostly in Uk but, Insiyaa's jaw dropped, she was surprised as well because people barely uses them now even in small towns.........She didn't know people here still uses them.
