Rocking...

It was a desire to do a bit of rock climbing which got fulfilled on my travel to Trivandrum.. The adrenaline rush was really high.. Looking from the ground level the cliff seemed to be small but as I went up the cliff, the fall was really steep. This seemed to be an old quarry which is now used for adventure sport. On one hand I could see the greenery in front of me, spread in vastness, while on the other hand the mere fall gave me goose bumps. The guy on the top helped me with the harness and the loops. My friends said, Sid no problemo, use just need to go perpendicular to the cliff and keep walking down.. It is not at all difficult. I said, if that is it then fine, no problemo. Bloody hell, how would I know the pain and the pleasure in going down. So 1o mtrs down and I realized, that I am all shaky and can't even think of going up. The only choice left was to go down. I said to myself, Sid, you have to go down at any cost, so better enjoy the way down. Believe me, I just enjoyed apart from the shaky feeling inside. My friends kept saying, Sid you are almost there, bend down... leave more rope.. I was telling myself, "Shut-up, I can do it". What ever said and done, their support helped me in going on till I did Touch down..
Once I manage to foot my foot down on the ground, I was like, WoW!! i made it.. It is an amazing feeling, difficult to describe... The feeling now, is what next. Rock climbing is done, Can I look for some para sailing. Who knows I may actually end up doing that..
