Narrow Escape!

“Have you ever been in love with me?”
“yes”, he shivered while answering



“Then lets leave the city today”
“Hmm”
He was a lawyer. He remembered his wife and his lil kid waiting for him at his house. But he had no other way. He was trapped. He cursed the moment he saw her. He cursed the moment when his friend introduced her to him. He feared she will do something to his kid. She was heartless. 
My fault, he murmured. While following her he tried to hide the drop of tear at the corner of his eyes.

They were walking towards the parking lot. She didn’t love him, but she wanted his profession, as a shadow for her profession.
“Watch your way” she shouted.
He was out of his mind, staggering. It was a just miss. A car honked in front of him. The driver put his head out and abused him. But he didn’t even seem listening.

“Today eve, at 4”
“Yup” he said, calmly.
“Drop me at my apartment”
She got into the front seat. He was blank. He felt dark. The needle of the speedometer rotated vigorously.

“Look your way, you idiot” She shouted again.
Sudden break. Narrow escape.
He wished if he had not had an escape. He cried inside.
** ** **
His eyes got blurred by tears. Hands shivering. He couldn’t think of leaving his wife and kid behind. But he was trapped.
‘I know what to do’, he made a smile, closing his eyes.
The next moment  there was a scream. An accident.
***
A taxi was completely smashed. He cursed himself again, a narrow escape for him. People helped him to get out of his car. SHE was safe too.
He gazed at the smashed taxi. A lady was screaming, her kid was dead. He felt sorry and looked inside.

 His wife and kid.

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.
