Sunrise.. It blew us down!

Since we couldnt enjoy the sunset to the max, we decided to go watch the sunrise instead. Me and Rakesh were up by 5.15 am, and we were roaming around like nomads to ward off the cold. Vijay was up too, but he laid down. We were trying to wake others up so that we wouldnt miss the sunrise. As usual, Vivek was hindering us. :P

We got up, tired and cold. We started towards the summit once again. But the cold weather had worsened Vijay's leg pain. He decided to stay back. All the others went. I was expecting a calm, chilly breeze over at the hilltop. But I was wrong. It was chilly, but definitely not calm. It was powerful enough to blow us down if someone gave us a push. Now, it was time to wait for the sunrise. And so we did. Meanwhile, Vivek went roaming around the hill and found a nice new spot for us to relax and enjoy the Sunrise.

Thats Vivek gobbling up the Sun and Abhishek's hand filtering the rays around it.

By the Campfire..

At last, nightfall! We were huffing and puffing on our way down to the campsite. And we were irritated to the maximum extent when we found out that some other group had brought urbanization amidst nature! All that loud music and drinks made us think about why we had to go there of all the places. But the million sparking dots in the clear night sky masked that feeling.

There we were, tired and sitting around the campfire in the chilly weather, munching on snacks at random. These were clicked when we were feeding the fire. It was then that we had to decide the agenda for the next day. We hadnt planned our whereabouts prior to the trip. No one wanted to plan for the coming days . We just wanted to lay our heads down and rest. We got the tent setup and crawled into it. Each of us went to sleep gradually as the loud discussion receeded. But the story doesnt end there!

Venu, Vivek and Abhishek slept like babies. Rakesh, on the other hand was half asleep. Vijay and Me had ~1 hour of sleep throughout the night. He was suffering from leg pain and I was sleepless. The population density made us a bit uncomfortable. To make things worse, another batch of tourists came around midnight. At around 2 am, they started singing, reciting, dancing and all sorts of sleep-stealing stuff. That night was the worst part of the trip. Other than that, everything went on smoothly, as hoped.
