Some moments stay with you for eternity.
At 8000+ ft, he stopped suddenly and said : Sir, I want to sit here and cry. He looked straight at me, when he said these words to me.
I was taken aback for a while, but when I saw his misty eyes, I could understand the depth of his desire.
For the next few minutes he cried to his heart's content. I just stood there watching him. Speechless.
I am still speechless when I recall that incident. I am in awe of the fact that, God chose me, for that most intimate moment of his life. Could it not be any of the 29 of us? Was it a mere coincidence? Was it a sign of series of incidents that could happen to us?
My mind was fully occupied with these thoughts for the rest of trek. I had assumed that the whole thing would die down when we would both get back to our routine life. But it was not to be.
After long, I called him once, after receiving his mail. He told me then " It was one of the most precious day of my life...!!!"
Yet another signs of things to come. Yet another story in the making...

Good enough, for you some lifes are stories and some stories are more than lifes, alas alas.
The day you realise that life is not a story,,it cannot be just read n dumped, it has to be lived, that day my son, that day you 'ld would realise that its more than what you thought it to be.
Another story?!
Bhushan, beware!
This man here only dreams of stories, never dares to live out one fully. Once he gets you in a relationship, he would make sure you realise what a costly mistake it has been.
Ask him, how many people he has chosen to be indifferent to (Mind you they were all his "stories" at one point of time). His childlike enthusiasm and kiddishness at having found a "story" disappears sooner than you can expect. After that he would just carry on the charade of you being a part of his life and trust him to again dream of another "story", another "flasehood" :P
God Bless you, dear blogger. May you learn your lessons soon. You really MUST.
