The plan was set, we gathered the tools, and it was time to execute it. Prashanth had a fracture in his right arm and I was sorry that he could not take part in this great adventure. "I will bring the pineapples for you", I consoled him. It was the annual day at school and the farewell party for Aravindan sir, an enthusiastic headmaster who brought many changes to the government UP school, Attoor. A perfect opportunity to execute the plan unnoticed. I wanted to listen to his valedictory speech. But I decided to stick to the larger plan. Suresh and Anish are ready with their kits and knives and Vipin has brought buttermilk and gooseberries for the road. It's time to make our way to the Asurankund. No one will notice our absence as everyone will be busy with the anniversary.
Great trekking ;)
