Siya and her stories....
Purwa - Siya, now a days why are you taking skating lightly?
Siya - Mom, you changed my wheels telling me that they are far lighter and now you are asking me why am I taking it lightly!
:-) - Can someone teach her English!

Tryst With Beas - 30th Apr, 2011
Warm greeting from me after a fun-filled vacation! This vacation was planned a little different! The entire trip had two flavors - first 7 days was all about adventure basically with the objective of testing our power of withstanding stress or hardships. The next 7 days was very consciously getting back to civilization and relaxing well out. I will not be describing the last 7 days of the trip at all (I am sure you know why :-|)
Siya is 6 years and considering the only one in family in her generation, a highly pampered child. The maximum she would have walked ever is not even a km. She is of course very active in terms of running and skating but if she sees one of us around, she prefer to be carried :-). Coming to think of it, why blame her, I love carrying her!
So this trek was planned just to make sure we make Siya aware of nature and most of all endurance!
Day 1 - We traveled from Mumbai to Chandigarh. After a small wait for my cousin's family, we left from Chandigarh at 4:00pm. We had a pre-depature meeting with Countryside (the group that had organized the Tryst With Beas that is first 7 days)where we were told to carry a good number of woolens and thermals. And hey like any Marwadi family, we had packed more than sufficient of everything be it woolens or food! But Chandigarh was around 40 degrees, we were almost in half mind to remove even whatever we were wearing ;-). The car travel from Chandigarh to Mandi started. We landed in Mandi at around 12 mid-night in Visco Resort. The drive on the mountains was kind of not comfortable. The driver was driving as if he is the only one on the road and for us it was no less than a roller coaster. Me and bhabhi would have committed some 100 vices we will NOT do to God before Mandi :-). We had still not felt the need for woolens inspite of he fact that we had started gaining altitude. The resort was by the river side and was very peace full. Siya and Prerit (her cousin) were to our surprise were good kids and played together. Both me and my bro were expecting a good bit of fireworks between them.
Continued tomorrow...
