Go Forward!!


These two words meant a full life to me, when I was doing the river rafting at the Great Ganga River…

The trip to the Rishikesh has unfolded so much of hidden talents in us…. The journey started on Friday October 13, 20006

I, siddharth and vivek along with one of my friend from US went in our red swift. …

We reached Har ki pauri (Ganga) in the night 1.00 clock, the water in the Ganga was chilled ….the scene was beautiful and good thing was there was no one so I could mange to do the photography…

After Ganga darshan we moved toward the Rishikesh… and a big reindeer came in front of the car, I was driving the car and it was too dark, could not do anything applied the brakes, the reindeer fell on the bonnet of the car, stood up and moved into the jungle…. The bonnet got damaged...

The road to Rishikesh from Haridwar passes through a Raja ji national park and the road is the passage to the animals, this sign board we could see in the light while on the way back from Rishikesh…

We reached to Rishikesh (Glass house) in the night … spend one day at the Ganga beach… amazing place, just go and relax….

Next day was the rafting day, river rafting in the Great Ganga River, It starts from a point eight km above the Glass house (marine point) and take you down to the Rishikesh….

We started from the Shiv puri, vivek did the first eight km and I drove the car down the hills first time in my life and that with siddharth sitting on the other seat.. Thanks to him he co-operated so well..

Siddharth was also wanted to do the river rafting…. It was my turn to sit in the raft, I was really scared …I was sitting on the front, the first rapid (a place where the stones are up in the river so makes the turbulence of water very high)

My raft was welcomed by a big wave of water, my heart was sinking, but then the two words from the trainer go forward brought my mind back and we crossed he rapid successfully …. I shouted with joy and feeling great to overcome the obstacles on the way….

Life is also the same, comes with the obstacles but the moment we choose to be Go forward , we can overcome the obstacles……………then we say it was nothing…..

Every experience you have is designed to make you stronger….
