Its that time of the year again. Am leaving for Vaishnodevi tomorrow - and its promising to be another exciting trip ahead.
I'm looking forward to the bone-crunching walk that makes taking each step a project on its own with its grim satisfaction closing behind. I'm looking forward to the frequent stops to catch a breath or two and wonder whether I would actually make it. But most of all, I'm looking forward to reaching that place with its serenity enveloping me in its promises - of feeling peaceful just knowing you're where you aimed to be - and to the agony that would be well worth it.
So its off to the holy land, where December chills await to engulf me and excited pilgrims only cheer me ahead... Jai Mata Di!
