Endless voyage of emptiness

  Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a common illness that affects people who travel to high altitudes quickly without acclimatizing properly. It is caused by the reduced oxygen level in the air at high altitudes, which can lead to a range of symptoms including headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. AMS can be a serious condition, and in rare cases, it can even be fatal. However, with proper planning and preparation, AMS can be prevented. 1. One of the best ways to prevent AMS is to acclimatize slowly. This means that you should spend several days at gradually increasing altitudes to allow your body to adjust to the lower oxygen levels. The general rule of thumb is to ascend no more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) per day above 8,000 feet (2,438 meters) and to take a rest day every three or four days. If you are traveling to a high-altitude destination, try to spend a few days at a lower elevation before starting your ascent. 2.  Staying well hydrated is also essential in preventing AMS

  Hiking and trekking long distances can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience, but it can also be physically and mentally demanding. Whether you're planning a day-long hike or a multi-day trek, there are several key steps you can take to prepare yourself for the journey ahead. 1.Start with short hikes and build up gradually If you're new to hiking or trekking, it's important to start with shorter distances and gradually build up your endurance. This will allow your body to adjust to the demands of hiking and reduce the risk of injury. You can start with a few short hikes in your local area and gradually increase the distance and difficulty level. 2.Invest in quality gear Having the right gear is essential for a successful long-distance hike or trek. Invest in quality hiking boots, a backpack that fits comfortably, and other necessary gear such as a tent, sleeping bag, and cooking supplies if you're planning a multi-day trek. Make sure your gear is lightweight and du

The road to Bangalore was 330 km from my sweet home.I had reloaded my mind with the pothole map of the highway. My ride was the majestic mean super sport  KTM Rc 200 lovingly called Ghost, not meant for touring, but hey who cares about that as long one can go from point A to point B and enjoy.  I mean today I was on my own, silent.The panic button wasn't pressed. I was not under any pressure, my mind knew what exactly to do.Chanting under my breath, though my earphones whistled music into my ears, I was there, yet wasn't. Till the screen read battery low. The screen had read battery low before the shiradi ghat, that means I had 70km of wilderness ahead of me till I reach sakleshpur. Sakleshpur arrived, my cold fingers frozen through the tattered gloves. My joy knew new bounds. I had surpassed the deadly ghat with the worst roads, and lo what did I do? Darn! I let out my joy on the kill switch of the bike turning joy into sorrow. I turned the ignition on chugging my bike

Once upon a time, there was this pantomime, I had to read my son at his bedtime, A blank paper and a glass of lime, My mind recalled the ancient prime. A war ago and its roses in wintertime, My gun sprayed red across Anaheim As the crusade crossed overtime Slaughter, carnal abuse and barbarity were anticrime And then came a change in time As the breeze grazed the wind chime. SILENCE There walked an enchanting prepossessing beauty gliding down the aisle, she captivated the line of duty stamping hearts, she bewitched the sea of mean men, clamping and cramping the artillerymen, her hair glowed under the snow lit sun, rays lashing on her moving eye lashes. Thy angel soared above the dust laden field as she turned her glance towards me, she had already bewitched my atrocious heart, her eyes emitted proclivity, i knew she was mine. Spring came, love birds stretched their wings, I searched for this beautiful inamorata, while my heart

I got up today with a smile across my face, as i remembered the red letter day. Nostalgic was right away, I knew i faced a lot of sway. It was a beautiful evening filled with flambe, god had written the play. Seis companions in cosplay, didnt know that it was a doomsday. Tres in a hatchback, tres in a sedan, I jammed my foot on the freeway. Steering the wheel was child's play, little did i know i would face risque. A curve lay hidden on the speedway, my car swerved into the corner like a prey, the stock tyres burst, shocks blew out, the chariot went into a utter dismay, Everthing came to a standstill, death just kissed us and said 'not today'. Rehman in the background, i opened the doors quickly, a wave of shock had stuck me. the almighty had intervened, the car had stuck a mudpile off road and stopped. I thank the creator for saving my companions and me from a dreadful display. I got up today a smile across my face, as i remembered the re
