Day-I {Camp}

SO my trip was amazing... awesome... The following post is about my first day at the camp straight from my travel journal, at how i didnt have any patience and wanted to know everyone at once...How i simply judged many people wrong...and true as well!!!

DAY-I

I got up at like 3:45am, even though the alarm was on silent.lol. thanks to my sisi i'd wake up. i woke up to switch on the geezer. Then, i'd reset the alam to 4:15, and took bath. got ready in my Tee and a pair of jeans. I woke up dad and maa. Made tea for them...

All of my stuff was packed into a rucksack and also there was another bag that contained a pair of shoes and a lil more stuff... we left, around 5:30.

reported the new delhi railway station at 6, the time Youreka! wanted us. AT the station there was a youreka! banner and many other arrangements to guide us well till the old VIP parking section where we had to gather.

There, as sson as dad stopped the car, i saw sooo many people with luggage lying + many people + *cute* guys.

We got our i-cards.

After like 15 minutes Harshi arrived. Her entry was the bestt.. She tripped and literally fell onto me!! hahahaha. you know just like those dramatic entrance of a hero! :P

Maa was being too possessive about stuff-''mnake sure she's with a lady instructor'' ''take care of yourself'' she recited her list of do's and dont's!! but i understand.

Everybody had sexy rucksack, however mine was the most hideous one, thus i was pretty embarassed, even though i survived. 

We boarded the train like 20 minutes later. our i-cards had our seats number as well. my roll number was 15 and seat no.23.

SO harshi, always the lucky one, got a seat next to a guy and seat 23 was a part of the alignment of seats 24, 25. AND NO ONE SAT ON 24 and 25!!!!!!!! *annoying*

there are many cute guys but all so high class, rich snobs. dad recognised another parent there. i intorduced myself to their son. he is cute. (too much of cuteness, huh!! LOL)

and then, in the train we saw ''groupism''  everyone sitting in different corners. aparantly a girl came upto harshi and me and intoduced herself to us. Her name's SHagun, school - G.D. Goenka. SHe's tall, fat and a chepoo, that is, she would nag with us all the time. Too suffocating.

Gradually harshi made friends with the guy sitting next to him. his name's anupam and infront of them sat, mayank, anupam's cousin precisely. 

Mayank's a fatso studying in Birla VIdya Niketan School about 5'6. But freaking hilarious, then, was anupam, he's dark, my height. Both of them in class 11.

wE four became good friends. We'd play dum-sharaaz, that is, ''I'll act and you guess the movie'' game. lol! it was however fun. The train journey was owkiesh, we didnt come to know how just time passed away in playing and having funn...

then, after 3 hours(probably) of the train journey, we were embarked on ''car'' journey, where we were joined by shagun.

So in the silver golden scorpio (that i had chosen) we were 5peeps + an instructor and the driver. It was almost 8hrs journey. All the way mayank kept us entertained. we changed seats, ate and LAUGHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Atleast, I must have laughed SO SO SO SO SOooooo much after ages, laughed till my stomach was hurting and i had tears all the time ( my fits can make me do wonders)

Mayank is a dramatist. He's done courses in sooo many drama schools including National School of Drama, aka NSD, in delhi, Plays guitar, precisely veryyy talented!!. Anupam is an animator...

Thanks to his drama talent Mayank entertained us with on the spot made up stories about the scenary we saw around us as we climed up the mountain, round and round and round... greenary, lilttle villages, very less civilisation and river flowing along... Outrageous, it was...

On the way, around like 6 in the evening when it started to get dark, one of the tires of the scorpio became almost flat... our unluck... hahahaha! SO in the middle of the mountains just like the scene from a fairytale when no one's around,and you're stuck in the middle of nowhere, the driver started fixing the tire whereas we 5 enoyed the nature...

Once done, we moved on and it was dark by now... we were already running late... after like driving for 5km and not been able to reach the destination we asked the locals for the direction and the 3 men whom the driver asked were probably drunk... hahahaha. It was the first time Tons for the instructor as well so poor guy didnt know where we were suppose to go. Meanwhile mayank started with his ghost stories... Bahh!! I'm a sicko i started getting scared and panicking a little... what a loser :P:P

 However, with all the patience we moved on and finally reached the place... We had to trekk down the mountain on 50cm wide way down, to the camp side. Since it was dark we couldn't make out how the place looked like exactly... we 5 were the last one to reach... Our Camp Chief, aka CC, aka Avik welcomed us...''heloooo Ladies and ladaass!!'' 

All the 36 of us were asked to gather at the dining area... it was a circular area with stools to sit on, tables to serve the food, tubs to wash the dishes (yes!!! we had to wash the dishes on our own!! :P ), a white board where the notifications and the day planner is written... there were lights lit on with the help of batteries, else there was no connectivity, no cellphone. even the water to drink was supplied directly from the river that flowed next to the camp area... There were two sinks with a water tank that had water and a mug... there were soaps and mirror as well. So even if you dont look good you could check yourslef in the mirror... 

In total there were about 37 tents, i suppose, that included tents of the staff as well.

Behind the dinner area was the bathroom tents for guys... just opposite the dinner area was the way which lead to the ''beach''

Beach in mountains?? hahaha. there were stones all over the place, for a stretch of about 100 metres...and at the shore, ofcourse the immortal, great divine water of the river Tons flowed, 24*7. That place was the besttt part about the whole place...

CC assinged me in room 10 with Avarna and Arshya, however they exchanged the tents and eventually whom i tried to escape, the great Shagun was in my tent. There was Shardooli as well. She's a sweetheart. her bestfriend Diya and another girl Chandni were Harshita's tent's mates in the tent next door, no.11.

Our dinner was delicious (even though i dont remember exactly what i had). 

after saying ''goodnight''s we came to our tents and now with the help of torch i'm writing all this sitting on the bed. various sounds from outside has faded. very less whispers, my bags are on my bed for i dont want any creepy creature to be a part of my personal belongings!! I feel i could sleep with harshi, for i fear darkness and i do feel insecure at night. I can hear the sound of water...

Here at this place where Harshi and me came to ''meet'' people, make friends with them, they turned out to be snob, pretty, and ofcourse; rich brats!!! All of them have come in groups, mostly with their partners! wtf. here i'm happy to be friends with mayank and anupam, but since shagun is romaing with us, no one wants to talk to us. Fuck. and they are ALWAYS into their groups. this isnt fair. How do we survive i dont know!!!

All around are ofcourse mountains, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SKY WITH ACTUALLY TRILLION OF STARS, there are claimed to be!

Our tents are in rows. One row is of girls and opposite row is of the boys..

Apart from a CC, there's a doctor, his name's Adam (whose been resting as he's dehydrated, lol).We have instructors named Gulab, Tara, Naveen, Suman , Roopa and many other whose name i dont remember, actually! 

Goddd... i cant believe i'm homesick already... i miss everything... How will i ever survive the rest of the week...

Godd its cold, i'm in my jacket and socks... we've to get up at 6 in the morning.. we'll be divided into groups of 18 each; tomorrow.. hopefully get my room-mates changed as well... Fuck. Please help me survive.

*sign*

Ps. Why is it that, I've the worst luck???
