It is been so long I wanted to do so many things but I was stuck like anything!!! What I am doing?? Not sure...FINALLY I decided i should take some break so I was planning to pack up and leave....(not forever)!!!
Suddenly I got a call, Hey it's Zee---(in short) I am bored to death and wanna enjoy my new year you wanna tag along?? Ofcourse Zee.---is that a question even??? I wanna!! That's it---Plan fixed!!!
As per every trips we too faced dam too many problems!!
First of all is like everyone we were also confused wer to???
Whenever I feel like to relax or run away from something, my first preference is Mountains--!!! (If it have snow, then surely you can find me there) !!! So I suggested Manali!!!
The second problem arose with the first itself, its is cold can't we go somewhere else????? It took one week and three cancelled train tickets with some loss of money to convince Zee to finalize it as Manali..!!!
Third --- Bus ya train?? Fourth -- My bro and sis's honeymoon clash with our trip to same place!! Fifth--- My cousin's friend's marriage, Sixth -- Interview came on same day, Seventh -- One friend cancelled upon us!! And so on and on...!!! But this post isn't regarding how we overcame all these so this much is enough regarding problems...!!!! The point is out of all these we made it to Manali, yes if we have a great partner and a mind to go, we can!!!
Reaching the bus stop, Can't express my anger here!!! We had a very bad feeling about the trip then!!! But when we reached the problems started peaking its head again in the form of hotel room!!! no Mr.Problem you are not welcome aboard....!!! Yeah he (you know who) understood, and he left without even making a noise after that!!! [ I should have done it before but sometimes we don't even know how strong we are]!!
It's 9 am get up Zee time to explore Manali!!! Give me sometime, zee said!!! Now what can I do??
Open the door t have a glimpse of outside. But is it cold or is it the first view of snow or is it something else? I dunno I couldn't control myself!!! I just wanted to stand there and stare at the place forever...!!!
But above all, I wanted Zee to see them too, yes sharing increases the feelings whatever it is...!!
We started taking snaps, without brushing itself :) :) what can I say perfect idiots can make anything their own!! Holding a cup of hot coffee and posing for auto camera in too many ways :) :) can help you relax sometimes more than you imagine (assume here we brushed before coffee)..!!!
Ohh no!! it's already 10:30 , break fast and need to explore the place too ( or take more pics from other places too) !!! got ready in 10 min ----now Ready steady Po!!!! Poooof, there is our taxi to take us to solang valley (now that Rohtang Pass is closed it is the snow peak point is here)!!! Shame on us missed it just for 3 days!! Feeling sad yet we started our journey to Solang, after stopping for breakfast at Manali city we reached the entrance within half an hour!! From there to where we had to get down took another half an hour cz of the traffic!! The first place where I see calm traffic, none in hurry, none fighting, nothing just waiting and listening to songs...!! Yeah I realized one fact, none in Manali is in hurry to reach anywer (Not like delhi, here everyone is busy even to smile)!! First time I started to feel good with the behavior of Manali people...!!! We had lots of fun there with skiing, felling down in it, throwing snow at each other, posing for 100s of pics (too many stories here but I expect zee to write about her sufferings), making snow man, playing with kids, etc etc but that's also not the point here...!!! After that we came back to Manali and went to a few local attractions and went back to hotel...had dinner and local wine and slept off!!! And that's end of first day!!
Next day :) Morning 8 am I am up....why on Earth?? I never ever get up in Delhi before 9 am and that too this cold weather!! I tried to sleep again and again but no, I can't find the reason why my sleep ditched me then!! I decided to go down and have a coffee then as I failed with all attempts to sleep. I went down, the weather was too good and I thought why not go for a walk?? I asked the hotel person and he seemed pretty careful to explain me wer to go and wer not to!! I told him I will just walk near by!! He stand there till I disappeared...!! I walked past a few and all wer happy to pass you a smile!! I was confused at first then I understood it's their culture to smile :) yes that feeling how can I explain??
okay, let's say i didnt wanna come back!!!
After 20 min of walking I came back and by that time I got my coffee and zee also got up!! We decided not to travel too much and enjoy the local places by walk....the Sun too wer on side, he was smiling a bit too much like the people there!! We planned to go to Hadimba temple and reached half way to Manu temple :) :) Zee was tired but I decided to walk their by myself on the way i got a cute girl as company and she showed me till the temple and she took my picture too ;) ;) even the small kids know how to behave with tourists!! From there we met a college group of Malayali's , Zee quoted "this is why people say we can see Malayali's tea stall in moon too"!! Visiting Hadimbad and Mnali city shopping made us late. We went to hotel by 4 for 4 pm bus but the traffic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 min journey we had to be in 1:30hr traffic, one guy came walking with us and other one wait in traffic to drop us and other one waiting near by asking them to wait for us!!! Took 1 hr to reach bus stand by running and when trafiic moves in our taxi....When I saw our taxi agent wer waiting there asking the bus people to wait for us, i dunno how happy I felt!! yes, I understood how much the people at Manali care for others.....no comparison with any other places!!
How much they helped us, I am not sure why?? Keeping the question in Mind, Manali I will come again and again, not because I want to know why you care and love people, it's because I really wanted to be there with you all...!! And this time not for 2 days or 10 day...I will spend as much time possible for me to spend, I will!!! I love you Manali!!!! I love you like you are my second home!!! Ya, that's exactly my point!! No sad feelings, no tensions, your smile took all away Manali!!! Will be back soon :)
