"Agar Barish me waterfall Rappelling nahi kiya toh kya kiya"
Well this thought prompted me to scribble few lines which goes like this,
5 Minutes of Thrill, But without a Pill.
5 Minutes of High, And you can feel the Sky.
Its very easy to dismiss waterfall rappelling as just 5 minutes Thrill but let me assure you that Woh Panch minute (as Sharukh Khan says in Chak de India )
Shayaad aap ki zindagi ke sab se khaas Panch minute honge,
Yeh Panch minute tumhe zindagi bhar yaad rahenge,
isiliye kahoonga yeah Panch minute aap je bhaar ke jee lo,
Kyo ki kal kuch rahe na rahe, kuch ho na ho yeah Panch minute
Aap se koi nahi le sakta. Khuda Bhi nahi !!
I feel you live a life time in that 5 minutes...jo shayaad aap ne apni puri zindagi me na ji ho.
1st minute:
Standing on the edge of the waterfall ,the technical staff is checking your ropes for the final time and you are feeling all the excitement over ridden by the fear, Heart thumping Chehre per smile aur ander toofan, Dil bolta hai chalo yaar bas karo mujhe neeche uttaro, Bravely you look out at your friends jaise marne ko ja raha hai but still manage to give smile " Yaar ek photo toh lo !!!" saying this you move on to your next minute.
2nd Minute:
Cautiously, you are moving down, but still your eyes are on the instructor, you start to get the feel of the water escaping under your feet and gradually you are into your own element and is flowing with the flow of events, lagta hai yeah ho jaye ga, mai toh aise hi darr raha thawith this thought happily and satisfied you move into your next minute.
3rd Minute:
You are not only happy but confident now, that the things are now under your control. Ab batata hoon, Mai kya cheej hu, Faltu me dara rahe the..... Confidence level satwe asman me hai ...and you start coming down little faster taking giant steps.(Kyo ki ab toh aap expert ho gaye ho na in rappelling) and then Thud ...thump...crash...and you call out Oh F@#$...Abbe yeah kya ho gaya and you realised that in your over exuberance you have missed a footing and slipped and banged yourself into the rock, 2 second ke liye aap haath -pair marte ho and like a true soldier you are back on courseThode excited aur thode cautious you move into your next minute.
4th Minute:
By this time you have realised ki mai koi Tees maar khan nahi hoon and with this awakening you rappel more carefully but yeah kya yeah pani ka flow kisne bada diya bhai, water is hammering your helmet, ankho ke aage kuch dheek hi nahi raha , arre yaar ab yeah helmet theek karni padegi. By the time more water is hitting you and suddenly you are realising that you are out of breath. Hai meri shaas itni ruk ruk ke kyo chal rahi hai.But like a true junkie who enjoys his high with drug pill you are enjoying your high without any pill. Floating on this high you move on to your next minute.
5th Minute:
You are now in complete tizzy, You simply cannot comprehend the speed of the water flowing in front of you, the deafening noise of the waterfall is getting more loud and you are almost on the verge of asking yourself yaar yeah katam hi nahi ho raha that you slip from the overhang, Suddenly the peace has prevailed, no more water hitting you, you recover your wits and could now feel the ease of rappelling down , the lost smile coming back on your face and the relief and joy of the life time on touch down.Yes you have lived your 5 minutes of lifetime today.
Believe me in the above 5 minutes journey of yours you have jumped into an unknown territory, you have overcome lots of fears, your self-esteem is now pegged 2 notches higher . 135 feets is no mean feat, you have dared to do something and you have done it, a new person is born out of you.
Yes truly,
who need any pill to get the highs,
when you can have them here.
