My 11 beautiful memories of 25th Year

Today is my 26^th birthday and with the morning glare I grasped one thing; it wasn’t that easy to begin from the starting line of 25 to reach the magical number of 26. It is special because I almost perished on my expedition of life.

It all made me think that what I did in my previous one year which was distinctive, funky and with the folds of time I don’t want to erase from my memory.

1. 25^th Birthday Gala. Let us begin from the start line. I was standing with my senior and friend and I acknowledged this special cake which surprised me. I wasn’t expecting anything like that. The girl who sent me the cake from hundreds of miles away went on to become my lifetime partner.

2. Trip to Hell. My bicycle trip to Patalpani and Choral dam of Madhya Pradesh. It was almost 80 kms of cycle outing which we had decided spontaneously. Physically it was challenging but with the determination and company of one of my dear friends, we made it possible.

3. The eeriest thing which I had ever done was asking a girl in middle of the road for a cup of coffee at coffee café day in the city of Indore. My luck was, she agreed. Honestly, I never knew I can be so conclusive.

4. The Bhopal Bike Ride. It was the oddest thing which we guys can do. Captain K10 and I decided one fine morning to go to Bhopal on Royal Enfield. It was 250 kms from our place. Interestingly, we did it by riding the bike on 100 kms/hr. on an average. The interesting part about this trip was the bike ride and race against the time.

5. Commando. The month of February and March was the most perturbing month when we dreamed with open eyes throughout the brightest of the days and darkest of nights. We were pushed beyond our limits, and we discovered new heights of our abilities.

6. The Ghost Night. I don’t believe in ghosts but on my trip to Panchmari, I experienced the supernatural activities. Still, I do not believe but it had beaten up all the logics and scientific laws. Horrifying ten days which I had spent in Panchmari.

7. Ice Climbing. I learnt ice climbing and rock climbing. Rock climbing is difficult but ice climbing was real fun. Also, I learnt rescue drills of avalanche and crevasse rescue drills. So, you can trust me and come along to explore the icy hills.

8. Trip to Dharamshala. I made bike trip to Dharamshala, one of the most beautiful places in Himachal. Visited the little Lhasa, learnt few things about Buddhists, and as a cricket fan how I could miss the beautiful Dharamshala cricket stadium.

9. Foodie. I am a big time foodie and how could I leave the chance of eating in every eating joint of Chandigarh.

10. Hill Station. I spent almost six weeks on the beautiful spur of Kausali, enjoyed its hospitality, food. Basically, I was recovering from my injuries and getting ready for the next adventure of my life.

11. Kissing the girl. I kissed a girl named Shabana in the middle of road while it was heavily raining. Well the feeling cannot be explained but it made place in my memorable memories, one of the most romantic moment of my life.

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. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors. This scuffle is one of my favorite scuffles, and whenever I come to this place, my mind start envisaging how horde of men repudiated the destiny. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, A-Coy of 23 Punjab had taken up the defences at Longewala. The A-Coy company commander was Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri later on emer...
