I am glad you liked them. Frankly, I am not too fond of these activities but a blank blog for many months egged me on to it, if not anything, at least to write something.

The rainbow over the rhododendron forest is a killer!

Have you tried the acupressure wrist bands? My older kid had major motion sickness and it brought about a whole lot of change. I hope it works for you too.

You have to be alert now because we are going to come across that first view of the river Ganga as we begin our climb. It is one of the most ...” she goes on sitting at the edge of her seat straining against window pane.<br /><br />No response from the other five sleeping members. Me, I was having a hard time holding back the contorting stomach that threatened to spill out and spread embarrassment. <br /><br />“The best thing I like about this journey is how you get to see the Ganga in all her moods..” K was at it, exhorting, cajoling and reprimanding us in turns for the lack of enthusiasm.<br />All she received was appropriate interjections of polite grunts and sighs . And then I couldn’t take it anymore.<br />“Please stop the car…”. I feel like going back with you in the driving seat, just name the date Ilakshee.
