rafting trip nov '06

it's been days since i posted anything on my blog and i still don't have anything to post. it seems like i have lost my inspiration or maybe i haven't really lost it, it might just be that i realised that it is a mirage and it is not for real.

anyways, i don't want to drag myself into the pit again. i am happy looking at the hrishikesh pics and i want to let the tempo.

most ferocious rapid was at its best this time and i was not paddling. i was just looking at the intensity of mother nature at the very least. the water or weather wasn't as cold - as much as we expected it too be. but guess the water level and flow was optimal [the intensity of rapids depend on that]. and the most scary thing that happened [as much as that accident in my 2nd trip] was that the raft ahead of us flipped. bloody hell, that freaked us all. but we came out of the rapid shaken but not spilled :D

i had both my memory cards along so i was able to shoot some very cute videos, and they turned out beautiful as they were partially candid.

i won't post the videos but here are some pics:-





















































[the pics, in order of appearance]

• half-way down -->
• someone jumping off the cliff -->
