It is strange indeed that we give up on so much we like and love in the name of work, salary and the likes. Then there comes a small ray of hope which tells you that life is much more and you grab at the chance.
I just came back with a bunch of friends from Uttaranchal, had gone for a week long break and had a wonderful time trekking the Valley of flowers and Hemkund. The place is pristine and beautiful, the air is fresh and you fall in love with nature all over again. It was an amazing experience which I think one can truly do justice by going there rather than writing about it.
The people there are amazing, strong and rugged yet very welcoming and hospitable, they go out of their way to assist and with whatever little that there is, they made the trip truly a wonderful experience. It brought in a bit of soul searching, a bit of camaraderie and a new freshness to the otherwise mundane drudgery that life in the city and work has to offer.
I fell in love with the simplicity of life, the uncomplicated aspect of being and of what nature offers us in abundance. Each flower stood out and said hello, each rain drop brought out a smile and the rivers and flowing streams sang their songs aloud.
