Over to Sikkim

Its been a busy few days. Managed to submit my first application just in time. It is not an easy process for sure, the essays, the recommendations, the scores submission, the whole thing sure sucks your blood. I only hope that the process is as holistic as they claim. These guys said they will announce the results by October first week, fingers crossed for that.

Another thing that has kept me busy of late is office. I have been handling almost double the amount of work that I usually handle - actually a precondition for me for the 6 day leave I applied for. But frankly I don't mind the extra work - coz I am going to Sikkim... yuhu..

I loved it when I first went there 2 years back, though that was more work related. This time it is for pure fun and a bit of adventure. We are planning to essentially cover North Sikkim and go till Gurudongmar Lake. Beyond Mangan, the area is prone to landslides, especially in this weather. Hoping that the weather holds up and there aren't any landslides etc. It is gonna be a hell of a trip if every thing goes as per plan!

My next post will definitely be about the trip. That reminds me, I must write about the Triund trek here. I have been too lazy to write that down.
