Spring Fun in the mountains

Can You spot ME? 

After 2 months of study and hard work for my exams, I was once again qualified to take a break- in the mountains ( of course, as you must have guessed). However, this time I  was part of a very different group- my mother and her seven students were going to Seindul village near The Goat Village for their work.

24^th March I finished my exams and the very next morning, we set off for Seindul,. There were a total 9 of us is the Bolero and it was great fun talking with all the bhaiyas and didis, listen to their jabber and fun stories and the songs being played by them. At one time, three set of songs were being played- Driver uncle was playing his favorite song, middle seat wallahs were playing something else while back wallahs were  on to their own song. It is a real remix ( khichri) and I really loved it.

 We reached Seindul village around noon and after a nice simple tasty lunch at a villagers house, everyone got down to work. I was in the team of Gayatri didi and Vinayak Bhaiya, I helped them measure the blue house and after measurement taking was over and both of them were busy making sketches, I went off to say hello to the baby goats. It was so much fun!

 Later in the afternoon, we packed up, drove to Lasergaon and trekked to The Goat Village. I was walking ahead with the bhaiyas, mother and the didis were behind most of the time. We finally reached just as the sun was setting.

It was wonderful to be at The Goat Village once again, though I missed Mani Bhaiya. However Pradeep bhiaya was there with us. There were also 2 playful Bhutiya puppies and they were very naughty. Their antics really worked up Himani didi and at one time, she put her legs up on a bhaiyas lap to avoid the puppies nibbling them.

Next morning again we trekked down, baorded the Bolero and drove to Koti Banal, where we were joined by Bindu Aunty and her group who had come here via Suakholi- a very long route. I did not enjoy Koti Banal very much this time as it was very hot and we were there for a very short time.

That evening we started back for Dehradun, and after a luxurious dinner at Kempty ( which i could not be part of as my stomach was paining) we reached home quite late in the night.
It was a wonderful and memorable trip. I wish I can be part of many more much trips.
