And My Kalinchowk Visit....

And now, My visit to Kalinchowk:

Kalinchowk

It was in after fourth semester, we went Jiri… five of us! On Jiri itself, we made a plan to visit Kalinchowk while returning. But, next morning, before we were about to leave Jiri… there was a rainfall… We assumed that there must have been rainfall all around Dolakha, and our limited budget would not afford vehicle, the slippery road and huge trek… We cancelled our Kalinchowk and hence stayed in Jiri itself.

I had  the feeling that I will have to be there anyway; as I had given my word to be there. It was then Magh 1^st… Magh 1^st is the day when Nepalese celebrate by eating laddus… Ever since I came to Kathmandu, we were never likely to get laddus.. So we made the plan on the very first year to go for trekking… We trekked Manakamana… on the first year… On the second we did something, but I forgot what it was..on the third..we sat at one of our friend’s room….and on fourth it was my plan to trek till Kalinchowk.

We took bus early morning till Charikot… Took a room, kept our bags, and went to Dolakha Bhimsenthan…and returned back…I had my friend’s house, we went to visit him. Then, we bought stuffs necessary for next day, and slept after late night talk.

We started trekking…three of us…at early five! We had the idea that we’d be at a village by two hours..but even after five hours we could not get a clue. It was ten, and then we felt we missed the way, and we were in the wrong way. No one was there to talk, just we three…and entire empty world… So, we sat and thought for a while. We remembered, there were two ways after the pond, and we choose the right instead of left. So we rushed back to that place again. And finally we found the village.

Me and My friend...Walking in a Wrong Way!

We don’t walk in trekking speed. If it is five hours trek, we take it eight. So, Kalinchowk was eight hours trek, we were assuming we’d take 12. But we had lost three hours at some unknown place…. So we were nervous! But we kept on walking… We had Tang, for energy drink, but did not find water in single place. We could not think of our lunch without water, so we planned to sit for lunch only when we get water. Still, we kept walking. Finally, we saw a monkey…monkeys…and lot of monkeys…we could assume that water must be somewhere nearby. Yeah’ we found water! We drank Tang like anything… It was 12 noon. And then sat for lunch, we had bread and jam, and noodles with us!

Oh yes!! We finally found Water!!

My friend, Bipin with his lunch!!

We wanted to sit for a while, but nope! We were out of time. Now, what happened was, we saw a vehicle coming, and we asked for the lift… They accepted! We were in the back.. Sitting back at the jeep, with all those dusts and paining butts when the jeep jumped through road…we were all tired! And it was the dust, that made us look funny even more! Children at Kuri laughed seeing our idiotic condition there. And we reached straight Kalinchowk in the vehicle at 3 pm. I still remember the black tea that we had at that height… at Rs 10.. That was amazing!

My friend, Sujal drinking Tang after we got the Vehicle to lift us!

Amazing Tea and Amazing Height!

This is seriously amazing place…. Place of Devi.. At such a peak….Truely, amazing place! Mountain views straight way..from the height of almost 3900….With our praying, we returned back to Kuri. .. We loved the hospitality they presented to us at the hotel. It was cold, we didn’t even thought of getting out of bed. We sat there, ate there, slept there.

Mountain Sight... just WOW!!

Next morning we woke up early. The water was freezing cold!! Got fresh, and before sunrise, we trekked down to Charikot. We reached Charikot at around 12, got the bus of Manthali returning back to Capital. Caught it, had lunch in Mude, and returned back to Capital!

I don’t think I write travelling story in good way! Was this that boring?

My Oracles

I was walking long on the sun,

Tired, but journey was long and I had to run.

There was a tree, blowing air till my chest.

It was tree as an oracle, suggesting me to rest!

I was hungry, uneaten for several days,

Weak, without any food and empty clays.

There was a dog, barking until I hear.

It was dog as an oracle, suggesting me to beg walking near!

I was wet, roofless under a rain,

Sneezing, with coldness and pain.

There was a stone, firm, rigid and bold!

It was a stone as an oracle, suggesting me not to feel old!

I was frustrated, for my poverty,

Troubled, with only empty sack as my property.

There was a donkey tied with rope,

It was a donkey as an oracle, showing me my freedom of hope!

I was at the bank, hearing the river flow,

Lonely, with dark face and lost glow.

There was water constantly moving for huge unity.

It was river as an oracle, suggesting to be efficient for dignity!

I was confused for reason to live,

Puzzled, with heavy heart on the gloomy eve.

There was a wounded fly being chased by lizard,

It was a fly as an oracle, suggesting living life is hard!

Backbiting Society

Backbiting is gradually becoming the popular fast growing trend in our society. Since the person cannot make criticism in front of the person itself, he back bites the person and most of us; we do it time and again. Out of various reasons, in order to raise our own position is the major cause of back biting. However as a social trend, we also back bite as social trend to support friends, and also in order to describe other person's negative attribute in a state of anger. Backbiting is certainly not any good habit, and is a responsible factor that builds negative attributes within us.

Tell The Truth

This is the story of Sri Lanka. The country, not so far from us, and I am not writing any fiction story hereby!

Ragihar

Jan, 2. 2006 is the date. Ragihar, a young guy was on the beach, near their home with his friends. All of sudden, his father heard bomb blast near the beach. Two of his brother returned back to home immediately, Ragihar did not. Within few minutes, Dr Manoharan, his father heard his son shouting 'Daddy'. His father rushed to the scene,but the navy guards did not allow him to enter into the pace. They rather turned the lights off, where he heard voices in Tamil crying asking for help!

Despite of his arguing, the guards did not let him in, and suddenly gunfire flared thereby. Later they said, 'Five civilians are dead and two are injured'....When he entered into the place, he saw first body of his son with five gunshot wounds. Manoharan was rather asked to sign the statement saying that his son belonged to Tamil Tigers and was fighting for the Tigers. He refused.

Later, the Government claimed that his son and his friends were killed in a grenade attack. Ever since, he took it as a challenge to the authorities. He had been recieving threats time and again. The family had to leave Sri Lanka as well.

Ragihar's Father, Dr Manoharan

The petention is closed, Dr M is about to deliver 47,545 signatures to the UN asking Sri Lanka to tell truth about his son's death.

This is not my request here to sign petition, rather share it as much as you can. Let all your world know, how Human Rights is violated. It is all his request to the Sri Lankan Government to tell truth!!

Thank you Amnesty International, Thank you my friend Jim McDonald for giving me the opportunity to blog it!!
