City Of Dreams #2

I just went out and stopped writing about the city of dreams yesterday, probably because I was overwhelmed. Or I guess the better reason would be because I was tired by only writing about the tiresome days that I have had working there.

But despite all the tiring days, I did manage to have a little bit of outing, and a 2 day short journey around the city. I did, for a while, consider not going, because I was dead tired already, but I could not miss it. And hence, I went.

Though, only after a loooooong and a relaxing bath early in the morning.

And a last look outside my room at the rainy weather:

The journey began in the most peaceful way with rains, and clouds, and a wonderful person driving next to you 🙂

And this is somewhere I was heading to:

Tell me you don’t like the place? Tell me? Can you dare that?

I mean you can say that you don’t like my unprofessional clicks, but the place? This place with fog, and chilly rains, and high peaked mountains, and lakes and rivers, and waterfalls, and oh!! Oh the beauty of the place!!!

Since no words, and no pictures can describe this, I will add another picture as blurred as my descriptions:

I simply wanted to get lost in here., to be invisible, somewhere, down there.

I could literally see nothing amidst the fog, it was so sooooo beautiful!!

And then somehow, I got lost in there, completely!!

An age old temple:

A serene waterfall, which later on we did go to.

And this was the humble abode for the next day. Though it wasn’t as grand as the previous one, it was as quiet as it could be. So quiet, that in the night I had to put the Tv on, to feel some kind of presence except me, and my friend!

But it had a lovely view, all the same:

When you are ready for the day, and the other people are taking more time than required :-!

When you keep getting clicked, despite your wishes, by your stupid friends.

When you are always confused which way to go? Where everyone else was following or where no one was.

And you end up, always, where no one was. And sometimes it does become scary, lonely and haunted 😀

IMG_0647.JPG

I swear to god, I was not even trying to hide my face in here. I promise 😀 It was God’s intention,. :-p (Laughing hysterically here)

IMG_0808.JPG

Oh the peace of this place!!

IMG_0821.JPG

Another part of my one big happy family : (HAHAHAHAHA)

IMG_0324.JPG

I cannot go back and shame myself without visiting this place!! No people., I cannot!!! No chance. This is the only place where I allow myself to slip and say something like ‘FAVOURITEST’. Yes, I do announce this place to be my favouritest in the world!!

IMG_0323.JPG

And that is a mandatory click at the said place. My friends know that 🙂

Well, it was an amazing journey, the much wanted break. But then somehow, how I don’t know, the things went so downhill, that I’d want them to be erased. But I cannot do that, sadly. So I’ll try and forget them.

As is said, all is well that ends well.

Since I had missed my flight by then, and I was left with practically no extra money to waste on the last moment expensive flights, I had to take the long train journey, and I thought I’d miss the view of the clouds. But seems like, sometimes, when things go against you, you get little pieces of joys. What I got is the same cloud view, just from somewhere I should be, grounded and down to earth.

IMG_0853.JPG

Well, I had a mixed bag of emotions there, as always. Only this time, it went a little too far. Anyways, I love this city so, so much that I cannot say anything about it.

I will miss the place, till I return.

And return I will, if only to visit my favouritest place..
