While I enjoyed all the challenges here during the week days, the traveller in me waited for the weekends to arrive. The scorching heat of Noida ignited my desire to visit some of the best summer destinations of North India. We visited Mussoorie, Dehradun, Rishikesh and Haridwar on a single trip and had many amazing experiences. The exhilarating white water rafting at Rishikesh and a holy dip in the sacred Ganga (Haridwar) were some of the memories I will never forget.
On one weekend, with almost zero planning, I backpacked for Kullu-Manali with some of my childhood friends. That trip was one of the best experiences of my life and I thoroughly enjoyed each and every moment at cool and serene Manali. The mighty Himalayas at the snow point Rohtang pass made me forget all the worries and problems of life. The rest of the weekends were spent on Delhi Darshan (as one of my friends used to call it), biryanis and GoT (I started very late).
As we are approaching the end of our internship, I wonder how time flies so quickly. These couple of months gave me many memories. I learnt a lot and, as always, it’s hard to say good bye. That’s how life is, isn’t it? One more year in IIMV and many important things are on my list. I am definitely going from here with new energy and hope. Just to summarize; I can recall the famous few lines from the great poet Robert Frost.
“The woods are lovely dark and deep. But I have promise's to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.”
