Creation of a frozen man...

I had gone for 'Chadar trek' a few days back & was multitasking big time with my phone. I clicked pictures, made videos with narration, took notes & lastly, wrote a poem as well. In my defense, for the childish attempt at poetry, it was extremely cold & I had very little to do. Sleep was not something you could bank on, as its a precious commodity in the terrains of frozen river. Needless to say, all the notes & the only poem was written during late night only. Notes would be shared in a separate post.

So here goes the unadulterated version of a title less poem.


You would have many a fall here and there,
not to forget all the nightmare.
We saw dead body and severed limbs too,
had to manage without a proper loo.
Faced cold which keeps you in shivering mode,
and please don't get me started on 'link road'.
Ice cracking beneath your feet would scare you shit-less,
feet inside the ice, you are in a mess.
But visuals were a sheer delight,
everywhere you look you would find a wonderful sight.
Ice, water, snow & mountains were perfect,
canyons gave great lighting effect.
Our typical day had zero mails & zero phone call,
'hearts' & '29' made our evenings small.
Amazing food & bonfire made me feel as if I belong,
so at the time of departure, I just said "So long".
