It was around 4pm , i reached GENTS SEAT another higher view point from ladies seat. The place was higher than ladies seat but very small concrete and more of an open space like a balcony in the sky were you could touch the clouds. The view was freakishly awesome! as usual i sat on the wall & took out my camera and clicked several shots of the mountains and mountain roads! as i silently observed the mist and clouds merged, like a sand storm a huge mass of mist started covering the mountains and slowly the process continued!
i was looking at the scene with my eyes and the cameras wide open! at one perspective it was like the mist consuming the mountains for evening snack , it was like end of the world!!and in another perspective it was like the sky pouring its clouds all over the layers of forest and mountains, and these clouds spreading like cream!
As the beautiful wonder happened rain came into action! i quickly moved into the concrete and only 4-5 people were able to stand in it! two men were talking all about trekking in other parts of south India and how dangerous those are, i could not keep my mouth shut and i shared my views and we started talking as it rained and as my pants & shoes totally got wet!
We started with discussion about trekking and moved on to several subjects like religion , god , rishis, mental exercises, way of life in india,science and technology and relationships.As we were talking the time was about 5:45 , the rain had stopped. They gave me a ride in their bike to my room. WHEN WE WERE RIDING ON THE BIKE I SAID I CAME ALL ALONE BECAUSE I GOT INSPIRED BY THE MOVIE "INTO THE WILD" and asked them to watch it for sure! then we halted near my room for a cup of tea.
as we had tea we discussed the most interesting topic "RELATIONSHIPS" one man of the two was the main talker and he asked my astrological sign and star sign and said i should be careful in relationships as i will be easily be hurt in relationships and told few things girls in general indirectly mean while they talk to a guy! WOW THAT WAS SOME USEFUL INFO AND IM NOT GOING TO SHARE :)
After the long chat the time was about 7pm, they said they had to leave ,i got their phone numbers and mail ids and they asked me to call them the next time i come and the other guy who talked less said " you are such a different person, i have never met someone like you before" and smiled, at last we shook hands and departed!
I walked with my gun stick to the room and asked in a hotel about the dinner and they asked me to come at 8:30pm. i went to room, the power was out!but thanks to generators!! again i had problem opening the door, the manager helped me,i got in , switched on the TV tapped it twice on the screen and it started working just fine!! just lied on the bed and at 8:30 started to hotel which was a street away!
the hotel made very limited food and said only 2 chapathis were available! i had no other option! but the chapathi had very good side dish,i brought 2 packets, one chips and other mint flavored crunches for eating the next day while walking. After that i had a amul choco stic! the ice cream never melted in that weather! i got back to the room, the generator has stopped working and the place was dark!!
I sat in the lobby and had chat with manager and another person! we had a very nice chat, the manager said all about his family, kids and even though he earns only 15,000 per month he is happy with what he has! and he even told that he will never rely on any of his relations for money! the most interesting thing he said was, all his brothers and sisters , including him all have got 2 kids each and every kid is male!, he even made a joke that his dad had made lots of jewels for the women kid that is to be born and now he does not know what to do with those jewels!!
Finally he asked me to bring my friends,parents to the hotel the next time i visit yercaud. The current came! i put my jeans and shoes under the fan so that it would dry and i remembered the 2 men saying "please visit sherverayan temple" so i laid on the bed and decided to go to sherverayan temple the next morning! carrying my bag and trekking all way to the temple!.i soon fell asleep as the picture of the mist covering those forest and the wind sound from the dream place came to thought.
Good night!
