The first Meeting!

It was a misty dawn.



I could feel the cold mist sneaking into my room. My mom used to say March-May is summer time. I wondered why it was so cold and dark though it was April.
I had been lying down on my bed, gazing through the window for a long time. I woke up very early, better to say I hardly slept.  I always loved doing this, cocooning to my blanket and begging God for some more time to sleep, after getting up.
This time it is different. I smiled while pulling off my blanket.
It was a much awaited day of my life. I was going to meet him for the first time after an year long of relationship.

I stood in front of the mirror and made sure I looked good.
“Ambili, Your coffee”
“Coming mom” 
I walked to my mom and stood near her. She was smiling when she handed over the coffee mug. While sipping from the coffee I remembered how reluctant I was to have my breakfast. I always gave her a tough time about my food.
She seemed reading my mind. I gave her a smile.
Few more hours. My heart was pounding very fast. For the past one year I had been waiting to see him once, at least.

He was standing next to me. I was suffering to take breath, and so was he. Through the corner of my eyes I tried to see his face but in vain.
Just few more minutes. I felt it was easier for me to wait for him for an year than this. I closed my eyes in distress.
“And now, I pronounce you as husband and wife”…
The priest took my hand and placed it above his hands. It was my wedding.   
Someone came near me and removed my veil from my face. Blissful!
It was the first time I have ever seen him.


P.S: After giving you so many twists God gave me a wonderful twist in ma life. Its going to be my own story..  :)

P.P.S: This April,  I gonna get married to someone whom I love a lot and I never have seen.. :)

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.
