Monday Blues - not exactly. We get up at around 8 in the morning to get dressed up to leave Chaman as we have to move to Solang Valley.
We reached Solang Valley in an hour or so without realizing the fact that we were not left with much of cash with us. We were planning to have paragliding here with zorbing,mountain biking and other games. We had our breakfast also here. In the meanwhile some of the guys including me tried to bargain for the rates of paragliding.
Though we wasted much of our time but finally got some marginal discount and then the wait starts for the tram to start but in vain. So we decided to move in two groups on horses towards the height from where we have to jump.
Initial batch starts its journey and we were waiting for nothing down the hills. Though we decided to go for the highest range possible there but still there was a fear in mind.
Wait... Wait.... n... Wait.....
After around 2 hours we got a call from Anki about their departure from the height towards the ground. And we all were ready for the shoot.In the sky every one was enjoying and people were gazing at them because our batch was the first to go upto that height for that day.
Now the first group was on ground and it was our turn to go up with tram as it was functioning now. I banged at the ticket counter to see this beautiful lady at the other side of the counter and to grab the tickets. We looted our seats in the tram without informing the controller that we have to get off at the height only for paragliding. So while reaching we were not not aware of the problem that we faced when we reached there. Imran sir was clicking pics one after the another. In the same josh he handed over his cam to some localite standing outside through window.And a big bang, cam was mishandled to touch the ground. Oh shit!!!
That person quickly picked it up and handed over to us saying its not working.We could not do anything because tram was still moving. Now comes the more traumatic phase, the operator at the upper control area didn't allow us to get off because we didn't inform the lower operator. And we were down again to fight with the attendant that we have to do paragliding, so we have to go up again. After several tries,they let us move again and we enjoyed the double ride.
Getting off the tram we had to track for around 2 kms to reach the take-off zone.
Then the time came to do the zing. After a while I was flying in the air.
Wow feeling it was ..... even more mesmerizing when I touched the ground.
Oops !!! Headline to explain kari hi nahi.... Kangali Machao Andolan named by Amaan and handled by me. The thing was we were short of money and there was no ATM around so we need to device some way to do all the adventure with our pockets. So the rule was to give every single penny into your pockets, one can only behold at max Rs 20. This is how we collected around Rs 17K. Big amount.
Doing all the masti we moved from there to head towards Delhi. ( Have heard of this place even before).

"Gol Gappe kaise diye" - Vikram
Almost Rs 16K were being used at Solang Valley to left us with some odd Rs 400-500 and each pocket at max Rs 20. So there arose a need to visit our ATM to take out some moneyto pay for dinner and fuel.
Here comes the history-maker(don't ask me why history-maker) Bhuppi with a plan of roaming in Van Vihar quite popular for its greenery and river flow. So some of us moved towards it with a margin of 45 mins to return back to our tempo. At the entrance we saw a Gol-Gappe valla,seeing whom me and Shivani exchanged some looks to grab a few of them.And we started to see others also joining to have those delicious water filled wonders. I started enjoying them closing my eyes because of the sheer taste. And then comes a voice saying pehle ye batao kitne ke diye :( :( :(
It was Vikram who wants to do the calculation before eating because the vendor may try to cheat us .....Mr. TL also second his opinion saying "bahiya bas karo aur count batao".
We enterd Van Vihar to see the beauty of this place. We tried our hands there at River crossing and other spots to have pics and videos.
Finally we left the place in a hurry as people were waiting for us.

The Silence
So all the adventure were over, the only thing left was sleep. So we tried to sleep in the vehicle but then this ladies named Anki and Shilpi started opening their songs DB.
We kept playing,singing, dancing, everything to enjoy because everyone knows the next day - office !!!
We three Vicky, Bhupi and Me were new to the group so we need to introduce ourselves to the group and we did. It was my first turn as usual.Then comes Bhuppi and the last was Vicky who make people roll on the floor with his not-so-innocent talks.
Then comes the TL ka dance with Vicky which was like as someone is paying for it .... Kudos !!!
This is how the night continued. You must be confused that where the hell is silence in this part. I know its not there. I was expecting this but it could not happen.

The way back to office :(
The Tuesday morning came and we were sipping tea at a dhaba on the way back to Delhi.
People were planning for the next trip. Some were promising that will create same environment to enjoy next time as well but its my personal opinion that every trip that you plan is always executed in a very unplanned way !!! And that's true....
In a few hours or so were reached there in Delhi. Everybody gets off at their respective destination.I also got off at Nirman Vihar Metro Stn to take a metro towards Karol Bagh to take a cab towards Gurgaon. But to ensure my bad luck that day I found Metro lines congested and could not get the metro. So finally reached Karol back using an Auto.
"Jina yahan marna yahan....Iske siwa jana kahan...."
Sitting in the cab towards office this song in the cab was pinching my head about its meaning.
But I think its true ki Jina yahan marna yahan but still iss jahan mein bahut se aisi jagah hain jahan apno ke saath jaa kar tum jeene marne ke dard ko bhul sakte ho !!!
So keeping bunking !!!
Jina Yahan Marna Yahan......
