Days 237,238,239,240: 26th Feb - 1st Mar, 2010 - Uttarkhand Trip!

Finally a trip !

Would be toooooooo long a post for this blog. And toooooo long for a lazy bum like me to write, atleast as of now. Might probably pen down a few things someday when I am in the mood to do so and then link it up here.

Till then, broadly the itinerary we followed was :

25th night 

>> departure from Aishbagh, Lucknow >> MAFIA! >> 

26th Feb

Lalkuan >> bus >> Bhimtal, Naukuchiyatal >> paragliding/trek >> reaching Gwaldham by night >> 

27th Feb

sunrise @ Gwaldham .. orange rays on the snow capped peaks >> loooong bus journey >> stopover @ Bageshwar >> reaching Munsiyari @ night >> bonfire

28th Feb 

trek >> snow >> valleys >> snow wars! >> Holi >> bonfire >>

1st Mar midnight 00.00 hrs 

resume journey back >> morning stopover to avoid Holi mandalis >> random trek >> playing in the river >> Nainital detour >> Kathgodam >> train >> MAFIA again! >>

Was one super awesome trip :D

Day 236: 25th Feb, 2010

Sorry for the loooooooooooooooooong delay! (Not that I expect many people to be following my blog, but still, to whomsoever does do it)

We had an extended weekend, thanks to Holi falling on a Monday. So, 18 of us (17 from my section + makdi) had been on a 4 day trip to Uttarkhand. Will give those details in another post.

Just trying to recollect what I did on this day.. hmm.. not much, but still my afternoon schedule was quite packed as we were to leave in the evening. Significant thing: I remember using the common hostel washing machine for the first time! .. just so I could have extra clothes for the trip. Even did some last minute INDEX work - final touches on the convocation poster. And from the trillions of chocolates owed to me by people, finally got one Crackle from chatur :D

Day 234: 23rd Feb, 2010

Trust Rohit Yadav to always speak his mind out as straight as he can. Today our post-mid adjunct faculty prof for SCM started the course with a very small revision of the terms used pre-mid. He asked if any of us had any doubts. Prompt came Rohit Yadav's God level question: "Sir, I don't remember any of these terms" :D

Finally a pretty decent plan for the extended weekend's trip has now been put into place, mainly thanks to Mr. Rajat Ghate. Am really looking to the trip for sure! The only thing I'll seriously miss is the failure of my plan to see KCK on the day of release :(

Tomorrow we have classes the whole day. Right from morning to evening 6 .. thanks to all the guest lectures. .. !! Shucks! :(
