Going down we lost out
track, but kept going foreword and didn’t look back.
We reached at a point
where we couldn’t move on and we decided not to return coz too much time was
gone.
One person saw a
shortcut path and said to the foothill it will lead, and wasting no time we all
decided to proceed.
There we reached to
valley and no road ahead, and every way ended as if it was dead.
Every way we saw only
led to totter, and by this we were out of water
We decided it’s no time
to become a hero, and one of us dialed 1 0 0.
Getting down at then
difficult it seem, as we were contacting the rescue team.
Finding no routes within
our radar, we decided to stay where we are.
We decided not to panic
and make no fuss and let the rescue team find us.
We explained them on
phone our landmark and by that time it was getting dark.
The sun was going down
and darkness was getting higher, to see ourselves we needed to burn some fire.
We gathered a bunch of
dry leaves that looked ochre, but couldn’t burn them, as there was no smoker.
Sitting there around we
felt welp, and were hoping that the police will surely help.
Thinking that we will
have to spend all night there, there were quite a few out burst, but even they
couldn’t scream as we were dying with thirst.
After a depressing hour
we finally felt great, when the rescue team arrived in the evening at 8.
They showed us the path
and took us down to a village, and first time in my life drinking water seemed
a privilege.
We asked the police let
us go soon and let us catch the earliest train, No the said them, our requests were
all vane.
We found that they
could’ve rescued an hour earlier too, but they waited for media to come and
take their interview.
I had never seen such
kind of shamus, who are praise thirsty and just want to be famous.
I felt like I should
spank them, but they had helped us getting off the mountain and had to thank
them.
I thought this even will
soon get diffuse, but the next day we were the news.
But whatever happened I’m
glad it went that way, It was surely a memorable day.
