Children of The Sea 9: The Heavenly Fall

So we finished the drink of tea, and started climbing upwards. After what seemed like forever to me, we finally reached the peak of the place. It was a tiring journey upwards, and at one point of time, I just stopped for taking a rest, while the others were still getting up. This is a quote from Pintu, which he told me a long time after getting through with Himchori:
"It seemed to me that you're going to pass out anytime...there....but I'm glad to see that you're doing great now!".

Sea View from the Peak

We took a lot of pictures over there. The sea view from the peak was beyond description. This place gave us one of the best sea views of the tour. May be only second to Angel Drop's.

On Our Way to Himchori

There were a number of small hut like places over the peak, with benches laid at both ends. Also there were another series of stairs, taking us up and down, horizontaly. This stair climbing experience was horrible, and I was eagerly waiting for it to end. However, every hut gave me a better reason to continue the journey.

After spending there for quite some time, we finally decided to get down. The downward journey wasn't half bad, with the few exceptional cases of upward stairs...erghhh. I think I'll just name the stairs "The Stairs of Pain". Once again, after what seemed like "almost" forever, we got down, and headed towards the inner portion of the place. We knew that there's a spring there.

When I was a kid, my parents brought me here. I still have some pictures to remember(!) that occasion. But I didn't get to see this place in my last trip. So I was really looking forward to seeing the springs, again. I've seen a big Spring in Shillong, but it disappointed me. It was winter, and the Spring didn't have a decent flow of water pouring out. But this place was awesome. It was rainy season, and the Spring was full of water and life, or should I say life and life, as life is water and water is life?

All of us went inside, while Sujit took the pics. Maybe he knew that if he hadn't taken a lot of pictures there, some of my blog readers would give him a gono pituni. Hehe...it was actually good that he fears water.

Finally, Sujit shows up in a pic
The spring water tasted so good! And I am hundred percent sure that it had healing capabilities. I started feeling better as soon as I got out of the spring. My legs were no more paining, and I was walking faster than some of the others.

In year 2004, before we went to Coxsbazar for the GP Sales and Marketing Assembly, all of us were given a Hawaii shirt. I was too embarrassed to wear that in front of my colleagues, but I didn't think twice to take it with me when it came to going on a trip with my buddies. And hence you can see me in that bright colored shirt in the pics.

It was hard leaving that place. It was damn hard. I wanted to drink more Spring water, and I regretted that I didn't bring a bottle or two to fill in.

If you want to drink some "pani pora" as a medicine or sacred water, you should drink the Spring water.

We boarded the Jeep again, and the vehicle started towards the final destination of our trip, Inani beach.

As the story is nearing the end, I cannot but feel sad :| I so miss the three days we spent there
