"And Miles to go Before I sleep !"
On a very Sunny day , we two friends ( Me and Prabeen ) ( being typical guys ) planned to have some fun . We always were adventurous in life and we had planned a long journey to far away places for upcoming days (Like any other guys ) . But eventually we ended up Travelling a nearby spot so called SatashiDhaam !
This was our very first visit and we two were completely unknown about the circumstances that were going to be created ahead . As usual we were busy on chitchat along the way . We were expecting an easy journey ahead and we guess that's where we made our very first mistake .
After walking a 4 kilometres bumpy road we reached the base of the spot . Maybe it was our bad day no shops nearby were opened . All we saw was a half-opened shop with very few things inside .
Now here we committed a big mistake by underestimating the difficulties in a hill climb.
All we bought was two Fruity juice and two chew gums . That's all . We had enough money to buy more stuffs but little did we know that we were facing a horrible steep uphill journey .
As we marched uphill , the climb was slippery due to dry leaves and the steep was too high . We continued walking for 2 and half hours and by the time we had finished the only thing we had , the juice .
Now we had nothing to eat , nothing to drink and a unknown uphill steep climb on our way .
At some point we realised that we were not gonna make it to the top . Prabeen and me looked to each other oftenly . Our eyes said we were not gonna make it but our hearts pushed us each step up .
But every drop of happiness in our face faded away when we reached to the top and saw a house , and met an old man in a house living alone . There were no more houses around . We asked him which place was that . He said,"This is another district "! We looked in each other's face . The look was worth watching . We asked him for some water and way to the top of SatashiDhaam . He pointed it with his finger saying,"There it is . The top of that hill " . He also added,"Beware of Monkeys ! They are mischievous and they throw anything available fruits or small branches at you !" We asked him something to eat but all he could offer was Water , because at that altitude nothing was easily available .
So with hungry face , completely exhausted body and cramped legs (which i got on the way) we continued climbing another hill in another District . Prabeen said,"I haven't walked this long in my life ." I added , " There are still many things in our life which we'll do for the first time ". I still remember that crooked smile of him .
After walking few minutes we reached at the point where there was no sign of climbing trails . Literally , we were LOST in Nowhere . We were fully Dehydrated and at that point we thought of going back . " Better to return rather than to die in here or fall in accident and break some bones ",Prabeen sighed and said . Same thoughts were rumbling in my mind but both of our hearts were not in the favour .
At last we decided to give one more shot and look for the trail . And guess what ? Prabeen found a way full of small grasses with sharp points and thorns on them . Even though the way was too narrow but it was wide enough to hold our HOPE of being success in climbing to the top .

And with a small empty bottle of juice in bag , and tired body and after almost losing Hope we finally conquered the Top .The view was astounding from the top . It was worth the risk we took and pain we endured . We took some clicks to capture the moment , moment of joy , moment of Success, moment of brotherhood,moment of sharing time with each other , moment of not giving up and
Moment of our Beautiful Life !
After Reaching to the top We felt like King ! But the feeling got even better because of all the pain we shared along with the moment of victory !
AND WE DID IT FINALLY !
