Manali


Shandy (lower right) and I both needed a break and manali gave us just that. The unbearable cold, my hurting knee, closed forest trails, a heater that glowed (and did just that) from midnight until the wee hours of the morning, a Rs791 a night motel (really love this one!), a seemingly endless bus journey, countless chais and bowls of chicken soup helped us in doing just one thing.....clear our heads. We were at a standstill....shackled.

The conclusion was clear and unmistakable. It was time for us to get off our haunches and get going. Doesn't matter if we would come up with anything worthwhile or not but it was time to take a step. It was time we moved.

Before I end this blog, I must say it felt good to have atleast the 3 of us - me, aseem and shandy - sitting at the same table after so long. David was missing but then Bombay is in the works.....or so Aseem says..
