Clueless Group's short trip

Working for 8 months without a break was frustrating, so I took a break and went for a short trip to Mcleodganj with my friends. Escaping the scorching heat and our chaotic life in Delhi, the feeling was just awesome. McLeodganj, a small town in Himachal Pradesh was so peaceful, with a small population. It was just what I needed at the moment. 

On our second day we decided to trek from Mcleodganj to Triund, and honestly I had absolutely no idea it was such a difficult trek. We walked for hours in a steep hill, with no food, no water. (I wonder why we don't plan things in advance), we cross one hill and reach the top and BANG there's another one. I was so flustered, it was a never ending walk. We didn't find anyone on the way except for a Shepard who gave us water which tasted like petrol. 

Finally we reached the top and seriously every step was worth it, the snow-capped mountains were breathtaking.The feeling of content when we found food (girls from clueless group live to eat) Maggi had never tasted better.

I'm just thankful none of us died, because the hills that we climbed were steep. It was a fun trip. Visit to the monasteries, the stupid Kangra fort, the dirty river, Innova ride, bike ride in Mcleodganj. The main reason why this trip was so important is because we don't know when all of us will be together again. Mila will return to UK, Cheddup chasing his dream will go all the way to Bangalore IIM, clueless group is divided. :( but just hope we'll be together again someday!!!

Next trip Bangalore, Goa, everyone :P

मेरो प्यारो दार्जीलिंग ( My Beloved Darjeeling )

My hometown Darjeeling is one of the most beautiful places on earth, also known as the ' Queen of the Hills'. This is a place I love from the bottom of my heart, a place I grew up, a place I call home, so I wish to write about all the good things, ignoring the political battle and the negativism that follows..Darjeeling is an awesome place to live in.

This fascinating place is best known for it's tea plantations, Buddhist Monasteries, Ropeway ride, mesmerizing fresh air, breathtaking view, shopping in the colorful markets, wide variety of fabulous food, long walks in the Mall road, trekking to high altitude spots, and the most unique feature of Darjeeling is the world famous Toy train which takes you from Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling through scenic valleys

Darjeeling is a place where anybody can feel at home, people of this fabulous place have a very big heart. You can never be broke in Darjeeling, you can actually go out with 10 bucks in your pocket and come back home after eating a plate of delicious momos. I miss the evening walks with my aunty to Chowrasta after school, and on our way back a quick stop at Glenary's to grab our favourite chicken patties. 


I miss Darjeeling and the feeling that someone at Home is waiting for you, My grandmom waited for me to return back from school with delicious goodies which she prepared during tea time, those cakes that she baked is by far the world's best cakes ever because the main ingredient is Love. Feeling of being loved, wanted, sheltered can only be found at home. 

Morning walks in the Mall Road, the fresh breeze brushing our faces, the feeling is just overwhelming. Darjeeling is my Home and I wish to go back someday and live the simple & easy life with my lovely family.

Life has not been simple lately..

Grew up in a small town called Darjeeling, also known as the 'Queen of the Hills', life was so uncomplicated, so easy, living with family and me being a pampered kid didn't really get a chance to do things on my own. All I cared about was my family and the way they were always there for me no matter what, so I really didn't think much beyond that..My family gave me the best of things and made my world so damn easy...

After Graduation I had to move out from Darjeeling to make my career. I have always been a planner, I plan what I'm going to wear, I plan my lunch, and sure as hell I plan my future. So, the things i wanted to do after I enter the real world was all clear in my head. ( wasn't as simple as I thought it would be) I had to deal with new people, new customs, new traditions, new environment , I was living alone without my family for the first time in 21 years. everything was new, it was a totally brand new world for me, I can't really say whether I liked it or not but I missed home real bad.

This is my 5th year in Delhi, although I love being here but I still miss home everyday. Every single day is an assignment here...you worry at work..you worry about your friends..you worry about your image...worry about appraisal...about performance at work...All we do here in this big city is WORRY...Sometimes I just wish I could go back home and lead a simple, happy and normal life.. A Life I have been living all these years...
