Last night, the electricity went out. On call, I discovered that it will take around two-hours for it to be fixed properly. So, I and my brother went for a ride. A pleasant experience indeed. Before making a final decision, we really gave it a thought. Because, why not? The petrol prices sare quite high these days, and inflation is something which is hitting us all.
But the boredom was real, because it was impossible to sleep that way. So we headed out for Murree, a mountaineous and famous site to visit. Though, it is just 37-kilometers from us, still due to mountaineous region; it was a bit tiring experience. But the fun part is: we got to capture some really beautiful shots. The rain which at first felt like a burden, turned out to be the real show-breaker for us. Now without anymore sotry yapping, let me share the pictures, as well as other yapping material. Hehehe, because what good is a post without idiotic wisdom.
The first click is my favorite of all.
The slippery road, the light, sign boards, and a curve ahead. Life is a same experience. Even in the dark hours, there is always hope to look upon. And throughout this journey, we always have people - just like these sign boards - helping us. There might curves ahead, but there is always something to pay attention. And you will surpass that hurdle easily, all that takes is some listening, some urge to continue, some pause, and you are good to go. Moreover, the slippery nature demands experience to tackle with the environment.
Next ahead is another road with rain.
We took a break for the time being. Because, I had to use the restroom, and rain was quite heavy at this time. And do you see the lights ahead, we were suppose to go there. It still amazes me how humans have transformed gigantic mountains to their need. We indeed are some special creatures.
Oh Choti moti bhook k lia bs "Halka Phulka Tuc." (A little something for some craving.)
It was also clicked during the rest area. Though, I did not buy it. Because why would I want a salty biscuit for the time being? Lol, no offense, it actually tastes good with meethi chai (sweet tea). But at that time, the weather demanded something of sweet nature. So, I did go for it.
Next ahead is something adorable for me.
The beloved Pakistan, yes I am a patriot. But not a nationalist. We all are human beings, so there is no need to hate on another for a land sake. Let us promote peace and harmony. Back to the picture, it was still raining, and I captured it while sitting inside on our way back to flat.
And for the final click, we are again at a restroom. A bit expensive one, had to pay half a dollar just a for a minute use.
I tried to haggle with Chacha (Uncle), but all in vain, he came with a quick counter of: "here take it all and do not give me anything." Okay, okay, you won sir. I find this picture strangely beautiful. There is a pot above, and it is being lighted by the light. Public Toilet? Well I am just seeing it. So does it mean, it was supposed to be free? Well, if it was, nothing can be done now. Let him enjoy.
And by the sunrise, we were back at our flat. We did not go to the Mall Road, because we have seen that place for a thousand times. We just wanted to enjoy some music and a long ride.
