adventure-TWO

hello there......
remember me??? well i am not important... whats important is what i am doing here... and if you remember my last post, you must also remember what i do here... well still if your memory is just like mine, then i do not blame you for not remembering my last blog... well i am here once again posting this blog to tell about my adventure with him...
the adventure we did last time was so so exciting, interesting and we had hardly came over it that there was even more interesting plan going for the following weekend(this plan sounded really exciting) so we were really planning and getting ready for it.
(i guess i have to brief the plan cause that is a very important part of this adventure)
the plan was to go to Kulekhani with some friends. even though the plan was not confirmed, we were really looking forward to it. but, there is always a big BUT in each of our adventures. and this time BUT did not bring any good news. i was so excited about the plan, i had gotten the permission beforehand (if you remember how i got permission for my last adventure, you will understand how tough this job is for me) BUT at the last moment i got to know that the plan was cancelled. i couldn't believe. i told him he was upset too.. i couldn't and didn't tell that to my mom though. c'mon i can't tell her that the plan was cancelled after getting the permission.. after all a confirmed permission should never be wasted. so we planned to hike around Kirtipur.
so finally THE weekend approached... i had a permission but where we were going was uncertain.. so i left in the morning, no idea what the day was gonna be like (my mom thought i was going to Kulekhani). I took a bus and met him on the way... he was already there waiting for me... then we took another bus to get to the stop where we get a bus to Kirtipur. There were no buses that day.. we waited n waited for a long time.. till we waited, we managed a breakfast for a hungry kid there, i remember him taking some pictures... still when bus didn't arrive, we even thought of walking there..... but it was also late for that, so we waited again... finally after a long, and i mean long wait a bus showed up.... we got into that and got off at Kirtipur after like half hour...
then what we did might be very predictable to you... yea, we started walking again... we had no clue where we were heading still we walked... new roads, new turnings, new surroundings, it was kinda joy.. we kept walking, talking, joking n walking... we went to a temple that was on the way, sat there for some time looked around, Ktm valley looked awesome from that height. then we started again, walked and c'mon i don't have to repeat it again and again about what we did...
then we got to one more temple, we had climbed a good long stairs to get there so sat there to gather our breathe again...
then we got to a Buddhist monument, was beautiful and clean there... we were hungry by then but can you believe he didn't even drink tea because i don't like tea.... thats not very good but very sweet of him... anyways once we were out, started again..
then guess what happened!!! i got a call from mum.... and she asked "where did yu ppl reach??" awww... she didn know what we were doing and i didn't want to tell her what we were doing so i lied tht we are still on the way.... i still feel bad for that... after i hung up, i was quite bothered for what i did and decided to tell mum the truth as soon as i came home... didn't want to call from there to tell the truth because after that she'd order me to come home immediately which i didn't want to do... so we walked again.. the same roads were getting quite boring but to help us with that boredom, we spotted a staircase that led towards a (kinda) jungle area.. adventurous us took that way and we started up.....we started but we had again no clue when the stairs would end... i had even counted the steps but now can't remember the exact number, i remember it was around 200... finally it ended and guess where we were... the first temple we entered earlier... we were back to the place from where we started... then again after sitting there for some time we walked back...
got to the bus stop and waited and waited and waited for a bus to come back but none came so we decided to walk till we got a bus... the sun was really up by then and hungry and thirsty we stopped by a shop and grabbed cokes.... after that again yes yes again walked.... after over an hour walk, we got to a bus stop again and then took a bus...
we were not in mood to come back home that soon so got off on the way and again thought where to go... first we thought to show some mercy to our tummies and get something to eat but what and where we had no idea.... we crossed Jawalakhel , a really busy place of the city and walked to momo magik, our now-a-daes favorite spot and ordered some food... then the harder part... i couldnt digest the lie i had told to my mum so till order was ready i decided to call her up and tell her the truth and did so... and to my BIG surprise, there was no negative reaction and no order to come home immediately.. ahh you don't know how light i felt after that.... so we crammed in our food and thought again... "where now??" we decided zoo... after a good rest, we headed zoo... i hid my camera in his bag (a strategy to save some bugs) and his bag looked strangely large.. haha... we got to zoo and what we see is, a BIG crowd.... great... even a LONG line for tickets.. of course that was the weekend, what else could be expected.. but we were not in favor of waiting in the line so immediately changed plans... we do tht too often.... so we changed our directions towards Patan (thts around 30 mins walk frm where we were then). there was this art installation happening with some concerts, so we decided to visit there.... we took a different way and got to the installation are... some french band was jamming and preparing and giving out the concert at the same time... the following are some pictures i got there...
Lo'jo(or sth lyk tht) band performing..

strange instrument being played..

more strange instruments...

against the marvelous sky there...

ready to rock...!!!! yeeeaahh!!!


we spent rest of the time there looking around, appreciating art works there, enjoying the concert and then headed home slowly.... took a bus which dropped him off on the way and from there i was home alone with loadsa memories of the day....


i am not sure if the whole adventure was of the type i enjoy or not but at the end of the day, this day became one of the most memorable days of my life.....

that is all for now... but just for now.... more adventures and more stories still await us.. so keep updated... :D
will be back with more adventures soon...
