I was in the office helping my coordinator to get one ppt done.
a few more members were there doing their own stuff and suddenly a talk of going to a nearby stream came up.
They asked me if i am interested. I may say no to food or party, but i never say no to the nature.
its been a long time i went into water and swim. So i was excited but then there was a thought what if there is no depth in the water body. I like to swim bdw.
Late night we were awake around 11:30Pm we found out that we didn’t have bikes, so i asked one guy who was a good friend of mine. He agreed.
later i keep helping my coordinator anna to complete the stuff that we were doing. He wanted me to send back but there was something he needed help with. So i stayed with him. Around 3:30 i left from the office. Slept by the time i woke up it was 7:45. I saw a message vidhita akka dropped a message to rech to metal bridge by 8:00. I replied i need 15 minutes more.
but as usual if you have to leave by 9 then you should call everybody by 8 😂. I went and took the bike from that anna. Then we left.
There while traveling i could see the 7th hill of velliangiri mountain. It was so clear and the view was not blocked by anything at all. It just changed ny mood.
in the middle we did breakfast and then reached to the location. We had to park our vehicle and then go by bus. That bus took us to the location and from there wr had to trek for another 30 minutes.
the path was through the jungle, tall trees both sides making it more beautiful. Mud path and the sky touching mountains…
we went and reached to the waterfall, i did not like in the beginning seeing the crowd but then i saw there are less people at thr bottom where there is depth in the water. I went there without asking anybody because i knew nobody knows swiming so they are not going to like it so i just went on my own and i enjoyed those 20 minutes of swiming, it was so relaxing, i felt so light after that. Then i cane back.
they were still on the up, later i took pictures of them because i was done with it. And then we came back.
we ate sweet corn but chilli powder was burning my lips. Small trip but worth it.
later we went to a lake nearby. Where we were only 3, two people went back. It was a peaceful place sitting under the tree gazing at the endless water body. I asked them if we can find a ghat. Then we looked for it and found one. I went and swim to the middle of the lake. That is exactly what i was looking for to do. After a long time i really had a beautiful swim.
Then we sat under the tree for some hour, we did not even realise how the time passed. We were talking about various stuff. Gradually the burden of whatever we had went down making us feel that sense of release. It is the liberating feeling. At one point we were sitting simply no one is talking to anyone. My entire focus shifted to my breath and those 3 minutes were one of the best times that i have spent in a while. Simply doing nothing. Sitting by a lake aide under a tree.
when were coming one of our tyre got puncture. After some hustle we found a garage which said that they cant do because they are going to close. Then we went to another he said yes but kept fixing others stuffs. We went for one more. Finally he fixed but then when he puts air, it kept leaking. He asked to change the tire and he did not have a tyre.
This was the toughest part of the day but it went smoothly. Later we brought cake for Vidhita akka as it was her B’day.
Later we celebrate her birthday at night swami came and we sang song for a long period. And that is how this fun day ended.
