With an exhilarating heartbeat and a good feeling about the unknown, we reached the airport to catch the flight to Kuala Lumpur from New Delhi. I, Jaspreet Soni, love to travel to different places with my husband. After passing the entry gate, we proceeded straight to the line with a small television monitor that said Malaysia Airlines in a bright font. Luckily, the attendants at the queue were quicker than our patience, and we entered the airport quickly. The start of a journey that one has never undertaken before is a unique feeling that one can have. This is the only time when the future makes us happier than our present. At the airport, we saw people like us, people who looked forward to enjoying happy days that were yet to come. We could see ourselves enjoying the beautiful forests of Taman Negara and getting awed by the glitz of Kuala Lumpur city. We could see ourselves indulging in mouth-watering street food whose taste cannot be replicated even by multiple Michelin stars. We munched out burgers meal down with those thoughts leaving us with only drinks after we switched back to the present! We started to enjoy each and every moment of our journey, snapping photos, capturing videos and filling out our diaries and journal. It was a memory fiesta with people trying to treasure as much as possible.
I waited to the tunes of Billie Jean on the iPod until the attendant in her soothing voice announced the boarding of our flight. The moment passed too quickly for anyone to remember. I thanked the airlines secretly for providing me the window seat inside the huge aircraft while my camera cursed the extra work it has to do throughout the journey. Most of the time my camera saw nothing but water and clouds, but there were spontaneous scenic views that popped up at certain moments and luckily most of them were captured. Among the chatter with fellow travellers and song playlists, we reached our destination that made us all the more excited. The journey we undertook through Malaysia Airlines was one of a kind as it understood and accommodated the happy and inquisitive side of us giving no incentive for it to subside. I have always been fascinated on hearing terms like camping and trekking and hardly miss out any opportunity when I get to perform these activities. And in order to keep myself fit for such activities throughout the year, I rely on aerobics and yoga. The monsoons are on and I had an opportunity to go camping on the hills. I was extremely optimistic that our event would be a good one despite some of my friends warning me about the dangers of camping in the rains. I have been doing these activities for some years now and have the experience of dealing with the monsoons. Watching the surroundings is one of the most important tips for camping in the rain. For instance, before an approaching violent storm, the surroundings generally become calm or numb. Even dogs show erratic behaviour when they notice something unusual is about to happen. There are fishermen who say that they can understand that a storm is coming whenever fishes start to bite more. One should never ignore these signals before camping. I always remember to take enough number of plastic bags whenever I go camping during the monsoons. Plastic bags come in a wide range of sizes and forms such as sealing sandwich covers, trash bags, etc. They hardly cost anything and can be easily pushed inside your luggage. I use such cheap plastic bags for covering the hiking pack during the night, storing dry firewood, smartphone and camera, food and vital papers, including passport, money or fishing license, etc.
Newspapers are always handy during any kind of outing. You can easily spend a lot of leisure time reading some spicy news and then use them for starting a fire in case the entire forest is full of water. I generally tuck in clumps of papers inside the shows during the night as it aides in the process of drying the moisture in the show leather. One should always be aware of the signs of Hypothermia, which leads to a sudden drop in body temperature. I also collect the natural water falling from the sky with a funnel into some bottle or pot in order to filter and use it as drinking water. Since camping is generally done in the hills, being aware of rocks is extremely essential. |
