Himalayan Trek - Friendship and bonding with people


         Base camp was in Seobagh. As we entered Base Camp we were allotted some temporary tent. The tent was full of people from Mumbai. Most of them were basically from Udupi but settled in Mumbai. After having breakfast they called us for submitting documents. We submitted documents to Deepa madam who was in charge of admission procedures. There were many camp leaders and one Head of them. I don't remember his name.



     After submitting documents we were allotted different tent, Tent no 5. I met two ISRO scientists; Mohit and Rohit. They are working in ISRO's Ahmedabad division. Mohit is a poet who writes shayari in Hindi and he is from Allahabad. He is married to a classical singer and love between a poet and a singer always last long. Rohit is from Hariyana and married to girl from Gujarat. So he is fond of Gujarati dance and food. I can see a true love in his eyes for his wife whenever he gets call from her.

        I made friendship with many. Our team was group of 49.  There were 2 very enthusiastic girls from Bangalore, Kalpana and Roopa. There was a gang of some enthusiastic trekkers from Mumbai and these girls were with them. One more Gang from Mumbai was there. They seem to be very close friends.
There was one professional student who came with our Group leader Parvez bhai and co. There were 3-4 people from Gujarat. And then there was Pune warriors with whom we shared tent in upper camps. Vibhash was the junior most and Ashesh's father was the senior most with 60 + age. We were inspired by Ashesh's father.  I need to mention these guys (I can't mention each and every one's name here but in the subsequent posts). They made our journey smoother and memorable.

          We also shared a very good bonding with the our trainers and guides. Except Takur I forgot the names of others and I would like to share information about them consulting with my co trekkers.
