Kataraj Sinhagad trek on 15 July 2012
We were on a trek of Katraj - Sinhagad on day before yesterday. My body is still aching but I feel great when I remember that I did this trek.
I am now realizing that the trek is not limited to trek... It is something more. You use lot of energy and at the same time you gain lot of energy in it. You push your limits in this process and then you can repeat it in your respective fields of work. This is a process where you learn to push your boundaries.
Trupti and Pradnya decided about this trek and this trek was possible because of them. They planned for this. Swapnil also took it seriously. There were 10 people in the trek - Pradnya, Trupti, Swapnil, Prasad, myself, Santosh sir (sir of Trupti), Indrajit (Swapnil and Prasad's cousin), Techchand, Ashutosh (Trupti's gym instructor) and Rahul.
We gathered at Swargate ST stand. (I think this is because of Trupti's patent sentence: Vat pahin pan ST nech jain :P). We had breakfast there and then moved to Katraj by bus. At Katraj we took a jeep which dropped us at old Katraj Tunnel. I had done this trek one month back so I was knowing the route. We started our trek at around 8.30am.
Here are some of the snapshots in my memory.
Bhajji
Some people (names not be disclosed) had to eat bhajji at sinhagad so we went on sinhagad as well. We were in a different mentality when we were going for bhajji. Everybody was tired and was thinking as when sinhagad will come. Traffic was jam near sinhagad so we were going slowly. Finally we reached there and we were talking as if we were drunk!. We were really exhausted. We were not able to understand as what we are talking and every sentence had to be repeated 2-3 times to make us understand it. But it was enjoyable experience. We finally had bhajji, had a photo session along with Sinhagad tower and we started returning back.
We are 10 in Number.
We waited for some time at Sinhagad for six sitters or jeep to come, but we soon realized that there is lot of crowd and it will be difficult for us to go. So we started walking by road. We had decided to stop jeeps and board into it. Whenever we use to see a jeep going up - we use to stop it by coming in front of it and use to shout as - we are 10 in number. :P It was interesting game for us. Still 2-3 jeepwala refused to stop. Dont know why. And finally one jeep came. The drive did not believe us in the beginning as though we were saying that we are 10, only 3 of us were ahead. So he went ahead. And when people who were back also told him the same thing, then he realized that we are really 10. And finally he stopped. We all were so happy that we boarded the jeep as soon as it stopped. And then every one was smiling.
Pyare lal
This was new term coined by us and mainly by Swapnil. Swapnil found out a trick by which climbing efforts are reduced on hill. He use to come by side of the hill when others use to come by climbing it. Naturally he had to use less efforts to go to next hill compared to people who use to climb and then get down. When asked about why he is coming by the side of the hill, he did not reveal this secret, instead he told us that you keep on climbing, I am coming by a parallel road. We did not understand the meaning in the beginning but then slowly we understood the trick. So now everyone was trying to go by parallel road. While doing so, we missed the road two times. Finally the word parallel was twisted and it became Pyare Lal. When we lost the road, we started reminding us that this situation is because of - Pyare lal
We lost the routes 2 times
In pursuit of Pyare lal, we lost our track once. Everyone started going to a wrong road. We ended up going on a difficult road where there were valley and jungle. We were thinking as something is wrong but we were not able to spot it. Finally some sheperds told us that we has lost the path and guided us to the proper road. The structure of the hills is such that anyone can loose the track of it.
Even after this incident some of us were not demotivated for parallel road. So when we got a chance, we started using it. I, Santosh sir and Rahul were very much fond of parallel road. So we went by it. And we succeeded at it once. So we decided to follow it again and we got trapped. We started going from a very long road. Then again we climbed a bit and got to know that we were about to loose our track. We called the other team which was climbing the hill. Located our-self in their context and decided to meet at a point. Finally we were able to see them and then we felt better.
The steep mountain after the valley
After the valley there is a steep hill. There is a nice view at the top of the hill and there are 2 stones put beautifully there, but climbing that hill really exhausts. We climbed the hill and just sat at the top. I sat with Techchand in shadow of a bush and we were not in a mood to stand or walk again. Swapnil came there to have water from us and he was also about to sit there. Pradnya cheered us to walk to finish the trek sooner. At that time we started getting up but Swapnil was not in a mood to walk. Pradnya was explaining us like a child as why it is important to start walking earlier.
Final bus
Finally we were waiting for the bus at Atkarwadi. And a bus came. Within no time it got filled. It was a treat to eyes to see how it got filled within no time. But that means we wont be able to go though this bus. We were looking around to see other friends and to make sure that no one has climbed the bus. Suddenly Rahul started shouting that there is no bus till 2 hours after this bus. (Actually there was a bus nearly after one hour or so) And because of this shouting many people who were thinking otherwise started boarding the bus and bus was full upto its highest limit. I wondered about it and saw towards him and asked him that then why we are not boarding if it is true. He said in low voice to me that he is using this trick so that many people will go by this bus and next bus will be vacant. Then I also started saying the same thing that no bus till two hours and as Trupti was unaware of this, she came to us and asked the same question to us as then why we are not going in this bus! I told her the reason and we all started laughing.
