La Revista: before it all began


It is the 10th of May ’09. At 1.45 in the morning, it seems just another hour in this long break of about a couple of months. What makes it different is that I have packed my bag for a trip to Ladakh. It is a trip that I have always dreamt about going on. The route through Manali hasn’t opened yet. That means we have to make our way to Leh via Jammu and Srinagar- not a wise move, my family members would say. However my dream (of going there) has managed to surpass all their disapproval and all “common sense.” But life is not lived well if lived with fear as a companion. Life exists because of faith, and faith will carry us through and decide the fate of our trip. We have tickets to take us to Jammu tonight by train, which leaves from Delhi Railway Station at 9.25. Just hours away from what might be one of the most memorable trips in my life.
