Har-Ki-Dun Trek - The Experience

Recently I have been to Himalayas for some trekking just to break from the mundane of a boring vacation. I went to a place called Har-Ki-Dun (Valley of Lord Shiva) in the Gharwal region of Uttarakhand. The pics from the trek are uploaded in picasa web album ( http://picasaweb.google.com/sudeepster/HarKiDunTrek26thJune8thJuly2008 ).







































By taking a look at the pics you must have noticed that the trek was a beauty and all of us would have enjoyed it a lot (expect for the sun burn part).

But I would like to share the things I have learned for the trek. Here are the ten things which you must know.

  1. Borrow as much as you can. Most of the things you buy are useless later as well as in most part of the trek.
  2. Never introduce a new game to the trek group, you never get a chance to play it.
  3. Be prepared to meet all kinds of people, and never try to change anyone, you will fail.
  4. Walk at your own pace, remember its not a race and there is no medal.
  5. Carry a water bottle.
  6. Apply Sun's Cream even if it is a rainy day.
  7. Try to complete the whole trek with only one pair of clothes.
  8. Carry Electral powder, lots of it, you as well as others always need it (Kambya knows better).
  9. Never run behind vultures to get their snap. Same is true for cow unless it is dead.
  10. Do not give biscuits to a dog chasing your bus.

Comment with your experiences and I would update the blog with them.

Blog 0

I have been planning to start a blog for some time now, but was not getting a good enough reason to start one. Few days back my good friend Jayanth started his blog (http://asciijayanth.blogspot.com/) which set the stage for starting this blog. I have specifically put the link to Jayanth's blog because I promised him to do so which in turn would raise the page rank of his blog, enabling the whole world find it on Google search.

Now, let me tell you what to expect from my blog. This blog will be filled with articles encompassing everything from movie reviews, music reviews, sports, business, politics and all the Bakwas I can think of. This blog will keep you updated with me and my friends. This gives you a good enough reason to visit it regularly.

I think this is enough for my "Blog 0". Keep reading and keep posting comments.

Happy blogging :-) .
