Foul Play

“You take a step forward, your father will be dead”



Ajit looked at his father, who was tied to a chair and struggling to breath. They were a gang. Ajit was scared to death, the fear of loosing his father. He pleaded for mercy.
“And once you inform police, then just forget about your father” 
“What the hell do you…?”
“Keep your voice low.”  They pointed a gun at his father. Ajit had no other way but to obey them.
“Now listen, you shouldn’t play tomorrow’s match”
“What? You gotta kidding me”
“Then lets decide the lifespan of your father” Ajit felt a deep pain. It was the selection game of state cricket team. He so badly wanted to be in. it was his dream.
“This is ridiculous”
“Yeah, it is.” Their devilish laugh echoed in his ears. Ajit knew that all these were for Rohan; His arch rival in game. Only one of them will make it to the state team, and for that Rohan played the worst game. He had money which Ajit hadn’t.

Kevin switched on the TV. The world cup.
“Dad, who is that batsman?”
Rohan tilted his head towards the television. Ajit was in the field, smashing the bowlers. A drop of tear appeared in his eyes, but he brilliantly hid it from his son.

“Party time guys, cheers”
Rohan was in the lime light, enjoying the party. The multicolored lights of the auditorium gave him an elegant appearance. He was selected to the state cricket team.

Far away from his party in a small house, Ajit hugged his father and wept.  
“Don’t cry my son”
Ajit still couldn’t bind his tears within the boundaries of his eyes. He sobbed. His father heaved a sigh.
“Son, just being selected into the team doesn’t mean that he will play the game”
“What?”
“Creating a minor accident won’t be that difficult. He would be drunk this time and it will be just perfect” His dad made a smile on his face. He just loved his son.
“Dad?” Ajit was taken aback.
“A bad game against a bad game”

Rohan looked at his legs. Ever since the accident he couldn’t play even a single match.

Glacier National Park: Day 1- Grinnell Glacier

Glaciers are formed by the repeated snowfalls in winter, and snow melts in summer. When snow accumulates by each passing snow fall, the snow becomes ice and heavy. This causes the mass of ice+snow to move around shaping and corroding the rocks. For this reason the mountains surrounding the glaciers will have very unique shapes, steep drop off points and can have sharp edges. Sad thing though, as temperature increases by global warming, the snow gets time to melt away and glaciers will slowly disappear. I read that, glacier national park had so many glaciers,which now dont even exist.

Glacier National park: Day 2- HighLine Trail

Our plans for the second day at glacier was to drive the 'Going to the sun road', and hike the HighLine trail. Going to the sun road is 50 mile very scenic drive through the mountains. It can be accessed from the east entrance at St Mary or the west entrance at West Glacier. We chose St mary, thinking we could watch the sunrise over St Mary lake when we start the day. The scenic road can be done by park's free shuttle system too. They are free and make stops at all attraction points along the route. Since we had to reach the other side of the mountain, we took our car.  The highest point on the route is Logan Pass which is home to two very beautiful and breathtaking trails, Hidden Lake trail and HighLine trail. The 12 mile HighLine trail is carved through the Garden Wall mountain ranges, you walk through a very narrow trail which is made right through the mountain. Though a lil scary this is a highlight of Glacier National Park.They also have a hand rail hung to the m...

La La Land

This is one of the trips that I thought would be a fully urban feel and turned out not to be! La has its own fair share of everything;beaches,canyons,markets,gardens and the posh city life. We reached LA on the night of 26th April. We were staying near to the beaches, so it was a short drive from airport. Once we landed we grabbed dinner and shopped for water and snacks for the rest of the week. By around 10'o clock we were all set to hit the bed.
