'Hurry up!' Bhaiya bellowed 'The jeeps are waiting; we have to leave for Saif-ul-Mulook before 9 o'clock.'

'Let's go Tanzeela, its a more than 45 minutes drive.' said my hubby.

'I'm coming.' I replied 'Let's go Zuna; baba is calling.' I added to my daughter.

We walked towards the three jeeps which had been hired to take us up the mountain. Api and Emad settled in with my husband, our kids and I. My husband, as always, took the front seat beside the driver while the rest of us squatted in the back. It was an open Jeep with just a canvas canopy up top and with open sides. I was pleased as I loved to ride in them.

'It's going to be very bumpy ride so take care of your kids and your things.' Adviced Api.

'Put your mobile inside or you'll drop it.' My hubby warned me as I took my mobile out to take some pictures. The scenery from this high up and from the sheer drop that we were against was breathtaking and I was reluctant to do so.

'I will when it gets jerky' I said, although I didn't put it down even after we were literally bouncing on the ragged road.

'Oo! Tanno please put your mobile down else it'll jerk out of your hands.' Shrieked Api.

'Tanzeela put it down!' ordered my hubby.

'Ok I am.' I said while glaring at Api.

And finally, I did put my moblie down.

''OMG this is awesome look at our left. A glacier. A big one.' Said Api.

'People are taking pictures under it, isn't it dangerous' I inquired

'People are taking pictures under it, isn't it dangerous' I inquired.

'Sure enough, I've heard that people have died doing so, not so long ago.' Informed Emmu.

'Then why don't they learn a lesson'.

'Cuz they won't be them then.'

Suddenly there came a view that was so breathtaking that I wanted to capture it forever

Suddenly there came a view that was so breathtaking that I wanted to capture it forever. It was a water fall. Not those little stream that we were witnessing every now and then, but a large one coming out from a huge glacier above us, going down to the valley we had just came from. I was dumbstruck for a moment and then I realized that I had put my phone back in my bag, and by the time I took it out, we had moved on. Oh what a chance I missed. All thanks to Api
