An unplanned trip

Hey, it's yours truly in the centre, with Sunny on your right and Nikhil is the third one. We had visited Damdama lake on that day. It was turning out to be a boring Sunday. I was sure of not touching any book. Sunny and Nikhil didn't want cricket, for a change. So we had this sudden trip to the lake.
The place is in Gurgaon district, some 50 kms from our house in Safdarjang Enclave. It was a typical hot summer day. But the very thought of visiting Aravallis kept us going. And when I told the two dudes that our mobiles shall be on roaming there, I could see excitment in their eyes. Everything was very exciting, very pleasant. Even the weather gods came to party with us. So much so that we had a boating session - although the summer season made the lake look more like the water stretches that we see during train journeys, with buffaloes giving us company, from a distance.
Sunny and I even did some 'mountaineering' and reached a height of around 100 feet :)
On the way back, the laddoos and maththees were icing on the cake.....

Sometimes, unplanned events can spell magic. I felt recharged due to this trip, with all the mental fatigue gone.
