Then a thought on the outgoing year came flooding. It would be unfair on my side if I don't look back at 2017. Yes!!, it had been a hectic and stressful year. Somewhere I felt it more like a dream of summer midnight. The thought of travelling during monsoon, the undulating boulders, sleepy muddy roads and road blocks now and then still scares me.

I sincerely wish everyone a happy, prosperous ...
