The Greatest Walk

When you go irrational you ruminate about senseless things and your mind is discerning at a promptness which is more than Usain Bolt. Yes, I just experienced that unwise mechanism. I am exasperated with this writer’s block. I want to post something on my blog and still unable to do it because I am not able to think anything ingenious. I consulted one of my friend and she told me that I should have some familiarity which is diverse form my regular experiences of life.

Not a bad inkling. But what should I do? And suddenly I thought of visiting my mom. Well that was not crazy idea, the crazy idea is to reach to a bound by walking. I need to catch flight from Delhi to reach Hyderabad. Traveling in train for couple of hours is still boring. So I came up with an idea: to walk till New Delhi domestic airport with a back pack. No halts for food. I will go self-sustained. It is a high intensity crazy idea. Now I am sure you will be thinking, how far I am from New Delhi?

I am just 150 Kms away from New Delhi, and trust me, I have just made up my mind to walk those one hundred fifty kilometers on foot with a back pack of almost fifteen kilogram. It will also fulfill my fantasy of traveling to each and every village on my route. This time, I will be covering 150kms stretch going through each and every village.

Google says, if I kept walking constantly, then I can reach New Delhi in 31 hours. It looks easy, but I calculated then to me it felt like I will take 72 hours to reach my destination. So, I took up a self-challenge of completing 150kms in less than 70 hours. Countdown begins, 17 days to go for my crazy trip.

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires.
