We got it- Chaman .... The seraphic meaning

And the journey starts with a big Jaikara and we all started to ply to our destination.People started making themselves comfortable inside the house-on-wheels that we hired for next 302400 seconds.
Getting onto the seat a thought buzzed my mind that why the hell we need a break or a weekend getaway. Is it required to put fragrance to our relations ??? Or to re-energize our spirits.May be it is required to balance the professional life with our personal life. Or to make us realize that we are born not just to earn and die with dollars but to spend them as well.
"Aaah.....Oh no" this unanticipated scream washed my mind of those why-the-trip thoughts. It was Ankita who became a victim of a honey-bee. Though she was no more( I am talking about Honey-Bee) but still was the topic of research in the vehicle. People were asking for her color,size and current state to start giving their suggetions. Now starts the series of giving those popular Dadima-ke-nuskhe session. Nearly everyone in the vehicle including driver and the helper started preaching Anki to get rid of the pain that Anki wan't going through. Initially she was not at all in pain but just a little of irritation but listening of theories from other mates specially Mr. TL who gave her a long lecture on the "color of the bee and its effects" makes her feel in pain for which she needs a remedy.
Paper-ash and every other iron-made products availble in the vehicle were tried for the same.
Then I got to know about this person in the van named Hemant,who turned out to be a Medical Supervisor throughout the journey.He has solution for every damn problem whether its there or not . :P
If you not feeling comfortable to sleep he has those sleep-pills and if you are felling sleepy he has those re-energizing pills that can make you feel rich in energy that you can't sleep the whole night.

In the mid-way we had our dinner at a very happening restaurant on the highway. Driver asked for some bucks and after giving the money I got familiarized with this guy named Amaan, who was handed over the responsibility of handling all the expenses. He was carrying a modern bhi-khata in his techy phone.Though it didn't seem to be a good idea but the outcome is really praise-worthy.

Crossing all the way with talks and leg-pullings earth turned its face to nourish us with some sunshine and another day begins. The journey was supposed to be of 12-14 hrs but even at 10 o'clock in the Saturday morning we were not getting signs to get off the bus any early.

Finally at 1 in the afternoon we reached Manali as the vehicle was parked in the parking by the tapori, I mean the driver. Now comes the times to realize the amazing fact that we hadn't booked the hotel for our stay. YIPPIE..... While starting search for the roof on our top we decided to prolong our stay there for about 12 hours. And here comes in the picture the Hero and the Villain as driver refused to stay even for one more extra hour and we were talking about 12 !!!
Hero Entry -- "Why the hell you will not stay "??? You promised us to reach there in 12 hours and took 18... WTF !!!Lemme talk to the transporter. we'll not go before Monday evening and 'll neither let you go" - Angry man roared.
So this angry man was Imran Sir. Who after uttering these words left for the hotel search leaving the driver behind to puke every single abuse he ever heard of,but the good thing was he was not abusing Imran or any of us but to some one else (maybe his transporter).

Finally Vineet came with a big grin on his face exploding the happiness which revelaed the fact that they finally got it !!!. "Chaman" - this was the only word he could yelled out of his delight. He was not abusing any of us with this word but was telling the name of that hotel that they found. "Ok Chaman the seraphic meaning not the Delhi meaning" -someone from us replied.

Hotel was actually Chaman (not in Delhi meaning) totally covered with leaves of some plant everywhere. We finally settled with our luggage in the rooms undecided where to move further.
