Jammu

After a bit of time, no byte of time, I am back and would like to tell about my recent Jammu Trip. We started wknd 47, 2005. It was me, AB, KJ,VU. It was all together a fun. We had to attend NR's marriage planned in Jammu. We took P J Jat express and started our journey squalling "JAI MATA DI". Our first destination had to be Vaishno Devi Darshan. In fact, there were all different kind of persons in this trip. One of them seemed atheist for a long time, another was so introvert that people at first meet doubt about his voice. AB use to speak so much that sometime we had to pull his leg.

So we started in the evening and we started talking about different things. Although as I remember, the hot topic was our old manager SRM. When we were in the group, we had some gut feelings but later after experiencing a bit of managerial attitude, seeing other managers, we found him much more efficient in our organization. Everybody felt that he was to good speaker and managed situations magically sometime.

We reached Jammu in next morning and started our journey to Katra. We took the small bus to Katra paying 33/- per person.

The way to Katra was good and we enjoyed the journey of a non-luxurious bus;) We reached there at around 12:00 noon and we found a hotel to rest so that we start our journey further. Everybody took bath and did necessary activities. The match of India-SA also started by that time. People felt a bit of reluctancy to move now but anyway we had to start by this time otherwise we would be late, so we fianlly came out of our caves and took a good lunch in a hotel "Shri Krishna" just in front of BUS-STOP ( Adda ).

@03:40, we started trekking/chadhai from Ban-Ganga. It was a pleasant weather and we just had a bag to carry with some warm cloths. It was a necessity as in my last trip, I had suffered it a lot. Although it was summer that time, the night became so cold and cool breeze left us shivered in the night. Anyways, so this time we were prepared for such situations.
