A trip to Sattal

As i mentioned, i was out on a small longish weekend with my colleagues. I am saying colleagues because i hardly knew anyone when i went for the trip. What the fuck, i didn't even know a total of 5 people from about 30 members of this trip! But boy, after the trip,  i can surely say that i very well know all of them now, and have founded many like minded people in the gang!

It was actually not a trip but kind of outbound training where they try to drill some values into your head by means of various activities. Seedhi baat, there was not a singe drop of daaru available on the trip! But then the activities were so engaging and of course tiring (budhape mein itni menat karwate hain saale!) that there was no room for daru at all!

One of the craziest thing i have done in my life and on this trip! - Going for a swim at 11 in the night after trekking 3 kms downhill. By the way, i dont know a shit about swimming, it was just the life jackets which we were trusting on! And yeah the 3 kms uphill trek sucks every remaining ounce of energy inside you! But the whole experience was exhilarating! (i know i know! my mom will say - din mein to kabhi nahate nahi ho aur rat ko 11 baje swimming??? ...You see, cant help it mom, peer pressure!!)

I just wish the trip was a bit longer! a couple of days more? or maybe a couple of weeks? And maybe that guide/mentor, whatever you want to call him gave us some more time to sit in the sun and enjoy the sunny mornings ? But, all in all, i made friends with some really cool people on the trip and yeah did some crazy things which otherwise i would never have even thought of in my whole life!!
