Greetings

Hello boys and girls :)

I'm Adi aka Hombre aka Good ol' Ben. Doctor by qualification, MBA aspirant, guitarist, photographer and ardent trekker.

In case thou art wondering, pray, what or who is a fall trekker - well, the term was coined by V here, on our first trek on a random hill around the Katraj ghats. We chose to climb it through the waterfall; and well, thats the kind of rocky off the beaten kind of track we prefer. Thus we are, the fall trekkers.

But I like to think of us as a bunch of guys who just go out to seek adventure in every single thing that we do. Be it a trek, vacation, bike ride or just hanging out in some forbidden place, like say, oh a water tank in an army area (Did we do that? hmm..)

Maybe the experiences we've had merit a few posts themselves. But for now, we start by blogging in the details of our latest and till now biggest endeavor :

Himalayan Trek 2008
Saukundi Pass on foot,
Rohtang Pass and Chandra Tal Lake on motorcycle.

Best times n Best Pals

One shud realise that the best times are always widthe best friends. not because its the best time but cuz its the BEST friend who makes the difference.never an adventure seemed right wen you alone.

Wid me its Ben aka Caesar aka Hombre and the adventure we reap in every trek we've been out exploring. we are tuned to a sync . in the choices we make. prep. objectives. execution even our taste in asians (hehe) and out very close russian friend The Vodka.

More than anythin its jus wut a nice fellow he is..and i am really glad this trek is goin to be our next objective. The hiatus in our series of treks has built up a crave to choose the best an make sure we are charged an prepped fer this.

dude we shall do this.

NeXt : Destination and Prep Gear..! Ben hombre. your Go..

Journey to the Life source.

Myth is that .. the whole of india had been turned to womb of life by the river Ganga.The place of her origin can only guide a jedi's mind to the life source.. to the HIMALAYAS.

Here i am trailin jus another day in my life. waking up to the mundane. workin at the hospital. takin that one smoke thiniking it'd be my last.restin in da cuddles of da warm bean.watchin die hard.. everything done is jus an echo of cliche.a repetitive time lock.. every deed a continuum till you realise the force. the call jus so strong, you cant help but respond in wild instinct..

knowledge and adventure, sometimes can knock you out of your slouchin acceptance to everyday. Jus the sheer energy it gives through is exhilarating. Wut hit me this time is this trek. The thirst to know, to be there, to see and feel the new air of freedom, experience wut more life has to offer, if i choose to explore. The path if i'd choose to take would be promising a destination to the life source.. and to this call, with all the adventurer in me, i shall answer..

this is where i begin.

At the pussy Fall ... the Fall Trekkers Stand Tall..

fer all the virgin hills that motivated us ..
fer all the rocks we climbed up...
to reach the peaks
to take that one breath of being there, on top of the world..

and fer the water falls which guided us along...
we are the Fall Trekkers..
