Ponderings of the buzzingly idle mind

1) Some are bouncing and some are echoing and yet there are some just there.

- Bad at planning! Good at make do! Good at random execution and Definitely and Always high on experience!
- In the need of crash course on budgeting.
( Though now I have few pointers
1) Book tickets in advance [ save on cash so that you can have it at the destination :p]
2) Never listen to friends :p [ they always make you toggle your plan]
3) Splurge!)

- I enjoy winters! I survived a night at 2000Mts with 5 layers of clothing in Dec!:)
- At times its pain and at times its more of fun, to travel, to a place without prior knowledge of the place
- Toy train ride with the window seat overlooking the valleys and Orange trees, ladden with oranges, is a good way to travel to mountains!
- I started to believe in Yeti yet again. According to our trekking tour guide they do exists!
- I carry a swiss knife in my back pack and yet I ask my guide to cook food and pitch the tent for us. Pretentious!
- I agree that the snaps come good if you wear Shades! but experience is the one after shedding the shades!
- Buddha lives!
- There is some thing as Height tax! the more you rise the more you have to pay ( I mean by rise in altitude :p for same cup of tea you gotta pay double)
- Is it about facebook? twitter? or about the hills ?
- Long lost friends can make you feel great!
- It gives you a refreshing perspective to be seen like maybe a mean pinchpenny cribbing fellow or maybe a goofy,unplanned fellow or maybe a Bouncer!:p
