The nights at Kodachadri are fun. Staying at the IB gives you the best possible experience ever cause even the most basic facilities are out of reach. The source of light for the whole night happened to be this little candle. It was fun though. The place is actually so nice, at night the IB guys put a fire outside the Bunglow cause its real cold up there. And one look up and you find like a billion stars. The start studded sky, the camp fires, the candle lit nights, home like food and The Pals make this trip really awesome. We could sleep very less up there. And the next day we had to trek more!!

–
Surrounded, By the Crimson, Fades in your mind,
thought of blood red on the ground

Imagine, Sorrow around, Lead in his head
fallen down,low, done, a broken one

Daylight, Fades into dark, Unsuspecting move
Victim of Murder, He’s taken down

Freedom, A distant thought, A sacrifice
made for the low and the deprived
–
Lost, Lost Sanity
Lost, Lost Humanity
Lost, Lost Justice
Lost, Lost Reality
–
Pain and torture now, the punishment
The end of it, see freedom victorious

The war ends, battles won, (and) mortals lost
A price paid to buy back our freedom

The old man, stayed awake, screams in joy
His thoughts and wishes all true and done

Surrounded by the crimson, New day has come,
So whats the Price of Our Freedom?
–
Why? Does freedom have a price?
We fight, until the end of time

Why? Does freedom have a price?
We Die, (When) We try to pay the price

The three of us were quite silent. It was around 7:30. And we were walking……..

All around i could see tree cover. It was cold too. The only sound i could hear was from the birds, insects and our marching steps. I went ahead of them, as always looking for a good shot. I was infact looking out for some of the birds that were making the sound. I stopped for a moment to look around and i looked up. This my friends is the result of that stop. I consider this photo the only photo that was properly taken throughout the trek. Kodachadri is beautiful. Throughout the trek i was itching to run ahead cause of its beauty. But enjoyed it slow and steady.
