On reaching base camp (on 20th May), I registered myself at the
reception and I was assigned a tent. I was sharing the tent with some
11 or 12 other people, but I did not really mind. I knew that the
only time I would get back to the tent was when it was time to
sleep. We were also issued a pair of blankets. I spent the first day
by eating, resting and exploring the river flowing near our camp. We
had dinner by 7:30 PM and then a campfire at 9. The campfire was
mostly people singing/dancing/doing solo presentations etc. It was
good fun. The campfire ended at around 10 PM and we went off to sleep
by 10:30 PM.
The trek to Saurkundi Pass was organized by
Youth Hostels Association of India. The base camp for this trek was the
Youth Hostel situated at Babeli, a small town near
Kullu, Himachal Pradesh. I took a flight to Delhi, and then from
Delhi I took a bus to Kullu. All the AC buses leaving for Kullu were
full and it was only by good luck that I was able to get a seat in one
of them.
The next entries are about my days during the trek.
I am back from my vacation. It was awesome. Pics here
.
I really did not want to come back to Bangalore and the only good thing about coming back here is that I am getting back to work with my extremely talented colleagues
I will be on vacation (I think for the first time since I started working) from 19th May to 5th of June. I am going on a trek with the Youth Hostel Association of India (YHAI). Hopefully, being on a trek (my first one) will be an enlightening experience.

If you are a male, don't expect anything to come into your Orkut scrapbook - thank god for small mercies.
And while I am in the rant mode - guys, here is a message from sanity department. Please take time to get to know the Real World. It is better to know girls in the Real World as opposed to trying to pick frnds in the Orkut forums. There are people I know who masquerade as girls on the forums - to serve as good material for jokes to pass time in the boring meetings.
The names have been changed to protect the fucking idiots. Am I the only one left in the world who is pedantic about spellings :-/
