Its noon time,
its siesta time,
lunch over,
the sun hovers,
the tired legs,
need some rest,
the grass beckons,
the sleeping bag too i reckon…

Over to Mr. Dependable
The last leg of Rahul Dravid's fantastic Cricket journey begins... and I am hopeful of it being a huge run churner season for him and more importantly for Team India. A joy called Sachin !

HW : do it… Uk country side is as beautiful i guess… it must be easier and nearer for you !!!! I have to travel atleast 500 kms i m sure for such grass banks !!! lol
I know!! I have been saying this all day!
About taking a vacation, i.e.
Yes, it is much easier here.. I can trek even outside my ‘village’
We live in an estate which has a lot of wooded area around it – so we can go trekking anytime actually 
Kya life hai ..Mast !!! “Sigh”

I wanna fast forward Yuvaan so that he grows up soon and I can go to these fab places with help from you. As it is my wife isn’t interested in such lazy places.
Alas… I gotta wait for 8 to 10 years. (Or maybe take a boys vacation with my brother and friends?)
HW : you know i keep telling my son to grow up and take the responsibility of earning… !! but that is still far off… thats why i have forced my wife to work and start a business related to travel… hopefully she can make it big and i can quit my job and join !!!!!
fingers crossed !!
he he, arey not that Dhiren. I meant grow up so he could join me on such trips coz. my wife would never join me and I’d love to have my son experience such a life…
Not growing up and earning

Oh! I love camping. I am waiting for Peanut to grow a bit more so that she enjoys too. She has no problems even now but still as a parent you have to be more attentive at this age.
LOL!! Solilo the fever strikes eh?
Yeah, afternoon siesta is the loveliest luxury….leaves you so refreshed and content!!
This must have been fun!
I have never done camping in my life. Sounds so relaxing. Waiting for agle janam!

**ducks the chappal thrown**
I don’t lie about my age…so no need for you to duck. I might do it for other reasons, though!!
I remembered about my Amarnath trip, now. It was a very thrilling trip. We slept in makeshift camps with just a woolen blanket on rocky floors. Went on horseback (I really did, for more than 2 hours at a stretch and felt that I had been doing it all my life!). I wrote a blog too about it but it is funny to read now, though…so new to writing. But I will never forget that trip.
Thanks for the suggestion, I might take it one day, Dhiren.
HW : lol… I know you dont lie… !! i dont either !!!
you must do it… and if you need any assistance I would be glad to help !!!
Once I book for the trip, you may have to be very very polite to us, Dhiren!!!!
Can anyone win you in war of dialogues, hmm?!!!
Bliss….
Lovely words, tranquility is the word that comes to mind … and my idea of a dream holiday… the photographs is beautiful!!!
HW : correction… the place is beautiful !!
this was really kool work !! that too under the sun
Ah! Dhirenbhai anytime you go you have to take your Di too
all that greenery and the water
I want to go NOW!
Idyllic!!!!! So which one is ur tent…the green or the white one?????
If picture is so beautiful, the reality must be spellbinding
