My Life !! do I want it to be a drizzle or risk the downpour??
Looking at the steep, huge boulders ahead " Oh , no !! I am doomed will I be able to make it ?" I thought to myself as I tried to normalise my breathing. " For a young lady like you, why would u use a stick and wear shoes while climbing." A lady in her 30 s complained and walked ahead of me.
I looked at my uncle waiting for me to get back to my feet. My shoulder pain has just picked up again. I loosed my backpack and wiped away my sweat. Guilty of slowing my uncles pace I told him to walk ahead leaving me behind, In case I couldn't climb I would wait for them on the same path till they return. " This is not a competition. We just have to climb the hill because we want to and we can walk in our own pace. There is no rush, Stop when tired and walk when you can ..keep on doing it at your comfortable pace." Said my Uncle. As you guessed I was the last person to reach the hill top where my gang was waiting. But, Upon reaching there I realised I had interacted with a many people who provided me information about this hill. I cared to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenario and the wide fauna biodiversity around.
It struck the cord!! from my favourite Miley Cyrus song " Its not how fast I get there! It's not about whats's waiting on the other side. IT'S THE CLIMB".
I found climbing down to be easier than the climbing up till.. until I was just 2 -3 kms before the finish. My knees were shaking due to the strain and I was scared of the steep boulders I was standing over, My toes were numb. so I had to be extra cautious of how I was placing my feet. People near me stumbled, fell down and injured themself. WHOA! I was expecting my fall.. but thank god it never came :)
