A Walk To Remember
As I sat here today, on an idle Sunday, I can’t help reminisce on the memories of the last weekend. Warm sun, cool breeze, the path, the scenery and the company… the hike from Nalinchowk to Nagarkot.
Imagine the experience of jumping for the ground and somehow landing on water… I seem to be a walking accident these days… but it only added to the fun. Or when I was almost dragged atop a cliff by Kumar and Shankar… beautiful moments.
The company… Gaurav, Kumar and Shankar… my friends since college days. College days – occasional turmoil in both personal and academic life amidst the carefree times of bunking the class and basking in the sun… and the ‘window shopping’, of course 
. However the most amazing part is, all these years and nothing has changed – except for the bunking part (which has been reduced to 5-10 minutes at the office canteen).
Kumar getting frequently upset at minor things, and Gaurav doing his best to push him over the edge (well not literally),… me doing my best to irritate Gaurav with my ‘philosophies’… and Shankar, well, he was being Shankar – reading everyone and everything around him. Bottom line – you guys rock!
And the wonderful Sushmita with her thousand watt smile, who was sweet enough to laugh at all my stupid jokes… remember the “Na Lin Chowk” joke – Gaurav was staring at me like I was a raving idiot. Perhaps I was… but hey, if I can’t be myself with you guys where can I be! (ok, I think I just admitted that I’m an idiot… anyway… moving on…) It was her first hiking and she surprised us all when she finally conjure up enough courage to scale the Nagarkot tower. She was frozen scared when she first got to the top.
Well, gorgeous, thanks for the wonderful company which made the 5 hrs journey feel like 5 minutes… too bad you had to return home with a headache 
…hope my stupid jokes weren’t responsible
All in all, a day I’ll remember for a long time to come. It was beautiful coz it was spontaneous… kinda like this picture where a good shot was almost ruined by an unwelcome guest!
Damm!
Missed that hike…
…there is always next time…
May be not but I felt it well-thought and written. There must have been some obvious reasons that the memory, we left back, chased you put it in here.
Well, this is one of the finest thoughts, I have read. I really liked it.
Nothing beats the joy of spending some quality time with friends, and this was an absolute ace.
Beautifully written Cipher!!
well written but still i wud vote for sush’s experience as better one, in the link she had once sent me. Anyways, i aint here to judge on whose writing was better.. perhaps jus jealous dat u guys have such fun 2gether and i m sitting here jus reading them :’( …
cheers!!!
Very well written. I am impressed. Immensely vivid description, it was almost like i was a part of the hike. and the way you put things just makes me laugh till my tummy hurts. i could literally hear you saying those things. Great job…YOU ROCK!!! and since you admitted being an idiot…let me tell you that you are the best idiot among all the idiots…oh oh that was supposed to be a compliment, though it doesn’t sound like one…but trust me it is…i just mean you are the best!!!
Truly yaar. Nothing changed except the college bunks.
When are we gonna be men dude??
