Was it a internship or a solo trip ?.who knows escaping the problematic pollution in the city on the last day of my exam to a beautiful place where india's highest paragliding took place .what a beautiful night it was where this all began through bus journey and lovely travel songs .Thinking about my checklist i suddenly realised that i had forgot my additional gloves and having a smile that its okay because its my internship.Having being perceptive about various things since my childhood i began to notice different cultures during my 12 hour bus journey.the bus stoped for refreshment and i took a hot chai (tea) in kullahad(wooden cup).It was getting cold with the increase in altitude.Amazing trees and forest went by and i witnessed such beautiful sunrise.I reached to the hostel where i volunteered.Witnessed the place and analysing every aspect i heard voice "hey you are sparsh na the new volunteer ".I happily nodded and got the welcome by my senior manager rachna .As the day went i learned technical aspect and as i was good with people every traveller gave us 5 star rating .I thought my job was to manage people and make them happy .One thing disturbed me was the drugs going on and i was not comfortable with it .What happened was i had to leave that place after 4 days as i indulged in a argument with the owner about food quality and drugs.During my stay i made many travellers my friends and explored a beautiful waterfall with them which was an adventurous task as the waterfall was moderate difficulty trek and the way was slippery .What a peaceful time it was as i meditated on rock with cold water flowing through my feet.As the 2days passed of my volunteering i witnessed a change in me that was occurring gradual ,that was my confidence was increasing as well as my curiosity in searching and exploring new places.the most astonishing thing was the star gazing during my volunteering at the hostel .Every shop closed at 9 pm in the evening and i took my group pf friends at 12 pm at landing sight where para gliders landed in the day time .I laid down and kept on watching the sky full of stars and shooting stars the whole night and other were just taking pictures with there expensive cameras.the last day when i had argument and i had to leave was so much breaking for me as i was just a teenager turned adult i could not take it.So i decided to go on a solo trip from there to manali and kasol .I called my father told everything and said i am not coming back just leaving to explore new places he gave me his wishes and i went .I took a bus early morning to manali by walking to bus station it took me 8 hours to reach.As i was low on budget and yet wanted experience the snow and mountain view plus the whole place ,i searched a hidden hostel which was only known to some people at top of the whole manali that was stayers .I reached at night there as it was -8 degrees and screeching cold i sat around a bonfire for an hour .It was all snowy and slippery and i was hungry .there was cafe down at 100 metres where i heard music on my way coming to the hostel .Guess what it was owners bday so i enjoyed free cake and carbonated drinks.the whole view with live music and beautiful people were so amazing that i spent 2 hours there.after few days there i went to another waterfall that was called jogini means angels and the whole trip ended after two or three more places .over all it was beautiful journey for me as young adult who has just started the college with this opportunity.
