Rains Are Here !!!!!!!!!

HELLO

Yes i am back in my pleasant mood and i owe it to the rains as well as the past weekend i had.To start with as i had updated in my earlier post i had been for River Rafting to this place close to Pune called Kundalika (Mulshi) well the place itself is adorable and full of lush green trees that seem so fresh they enrich you from within.

For the first time in my entire life i have ever seen everyone coming on time. We had hired a bus to be there and after picking up everyone from various points we left Pune at around 6ish. The road to Mulshi was amazing it was drizzling nice weather the scenery was breath taking fog surrounding the mountains and small creeks making their way out of the rocks was sight i could not miss. It was a perfect getaway the air that you breath was so different then what you breath in the city you could easily feel the difference and feel how miserably bad and polluted the air is in the city is. At times when everything else is right you just don't have the right company but here we had a bunch of enthusiastic's and the moment we boarded the bus we all started gelling up well. The entire journey to Kundalika i was standing near the door enjoying the rains and admiring Gods creation that he is best at. And its sad that during the journey i noticed a lot of cottages small bungalows built in the midst of the dense trees somehow i felt that few selfish people have built structures destroying the most precious natural beauty. I think these people are under the influence that they can build something more beautiful and precious than mother nature sad ...........

Anyways i was dying to get in the water and once we reached the destination we got our rafting gear and some tips from the experts about the safety measures. We even practiced a few commands given by our guide who was going to accompany us throughout. Towards the start it was all good we were just getting accustomed to row in a particular pattern the flow of water was steady and moving. But all of a sudden everyone could see the main stream that we were going to join in a few moments and it was hair raising as the flow of water was fast and gushing from everywhere most of us didn't know what to expect. As soon we joined in all of a sudden our raft started moving at a rapid speed our guide was directing us to keep the raft straight we had put in all of our efforts the raft moved in every possible direction but after a while we got in full control. The rest of the journey was a experience of a lifetime the ups and down bumps we manged to get through everything there were a few moments i enjoyed throughly when the water came in from all the sides at times i was about to fall but the rope kept handy.

Towards the end of the 14 Km stretch which took us about 3 hrs to complete we were allowed to jump in the water and before our guide could give us the green signal i was already in happily swimming my way with the raft. After a while when everyone was contented we got back in the raft with one last stunt left and we toppled the entire raft it was fun. At last we all came to the shore and gave three cheers to our guide.
The entire episode was a complete package there was thrill excitement fun chaos fear just about everything, in those three hours i experience something which would have taken me years to do so. And its a once in a lifetime fun which i recommend everyone to go through once. We spend hours together in theaters to see something that is unreal and here is opportunity you should not miss.

On Sunday i just could not help myself telling people what i had experienced every person i met i was on with my tales.

Now i am really looking forward to a trek with more adventure (valley crossing, rappelling) because that it is next on my checklist " Thing i want to do before i get married"

See you soon
