We were like a family of 36 having a range of age groups from 13-63 years. The bubbliest and the most absorbed thus formed a part of our group. The experience wouldn’t have been so balanced had it not been a group over such a wide range. In their company the sky seemed appealing in its bluish shade, their smiles made the snow a bed, the slopes all seemed like a path to tread, I lay there wandering the magic of my friends. Those long conversations, the camp fire buzz, eating by the waterfalls and rivers, walking hand in hand, sharing smiles and styles, refreshingly chilly water, searching love in eyes and those long morning sessions…

Sameer, this sky would never have been so beautiful without you and the camp fire sessions would have been empty without your filling voice. Thanks to Manish Kaka for his evergreen camp fire sessions. Your camera provided the much needed vision of the beautiful snow clad peaks and the natural scenic beauty. Vishwas kaka, I would have never known those mountains and beauty a trekker’s way had you not been with us. A heartfelt thanks to Sudhakar, Mahesh, Murli and Sathe kaka for their wonderful guidance and cheerful sessions.

Harshad, I still miss your evening chatter. Those night hours when you used to catch hold of me. Sonal you are simply a wonderful and an amiable person. I shall always admire you for the person in you. Archana and Shivani you will always be loved for your simple and amicable nature. All of you from the Jalgaon group, thank you for making my experience a moment to cherish. This section would remain incomplete without mentioning the name of my friend Mr. Bhosale for his constant guidance, support and love and showing me this world from a perspective of a 50 year person in such a short span of time. 

Darshit, Ashish, Jalpesh and Bhavin you shall always haunt me with your jokes. Bhavin, you are just an amazing person with tremendous influencing capabilities. You have the potential not only to amuse the crowd but also to capture their imagination.

Raj and group we all had so much fun with you. Wishing you good luck for all your entertaining songs.
