CHAPTER IV - Bears versus TKMAX

So, we finished the last episode on the Dhal Lake....
yeap, was beautiful!

The same evening, packed for 3 days wild trekking in Pir Panjal Range, of Kashmiri mountains, the Holy Three left their cosy house and went camping with wolves and bears...
The scenery was brilliant, like nowhere in the world...that's what all Kashmiri say, they are so proud of their land! However, Blondie couldn't stop thinking that she had already see similar scenery before....of course, this blond cursed color of her hair, every single thinking process takes time, but finally it dawned to her....Polish mountain!!!the valleys, plains, sheep shit everywhere, exactly like in Tatra, Sudety mountains!!! maybe a bit bigger and taller in size, but the general idea the same...!!! So, Dear Friends, we also have the "Paradise on Earth" in our beautiful country!
So, put up the camp in the middle of nowhere and stated enjoying it!!! and it was really enjoyable: dhaal for dinner, eggs for breakfast, instant noodles/soups for lunch, biscuits for snack - that was the diet for 3 days!
However, gypsy singing their prayers at the fire, Kashmiri radio transmitting a Chinese language course, bears roaring in the dark..., that all made it really unique and amazing!!!

Now, whenever you go trekking in Kashmiri mountains, make sure you have your head-torch with you!!! it comes really handy when you need to go into a bush for a p... or else, you should always scan the area around your place, for bears...it's not a joke, they do sneak in in the dark... the fires are burning, surrounding the camp, but still, the hungry beast come up to eat little blondes...Luckily, Blondie had her indispensable LED head-torch, purchased in the best retail outlet in the world, TKMAX of course, therefore, the bears didn't dare to touch her!!!

***just sitting here ,writing this now, when the furious monsoon is attacking Kolkata***but still hot***

The only misfortune, that happened during trekking, was the hair...of course, Blondie has to constantly cope with episodes and events, related to her hair, but this time it was major...
imagine, that she, and her new friend Sophie, as well so she didn't feel alone and cound bitch about it together, couldn't wash their hair for 4 days!!! unimaginable, huh??? on the fourth day, their hair started living it's own life...even a dry shampoo, new discovery, available in Boots outlets, didn't help...


So, you can only imagine, the feeling of utter satisfaction and fulfillment, when they finally showered again...almost as good as sex...! (My Lion, mind you, I said "almost"...so relax)
A good lesson of appreciation for simple things. Mind you, here shower is not a basic commodity as we know it...
Happy Campers, got back home safe and in one piece.

Next stop - tea with Dalai Lama...
