Did you hear the sound of snow crunching under your feet





 
I had probably never seen a vast expanse of snow till that moment I actually landed at probably the highest point in Chamba named Snow Point.

I can’t seem to remember the time when started getting fascinated to the idea of travelling. All I remember are those days when after school I used to be glued to our television set to watch places and dreamt of visiting them one fine day. Time has slipped through my fingers in these years. But my curiosity to discover the world around me has only grown. The urge of going to different places, experiencing something new is what made me pick craft as an option of study this semester.

The swing's suspension chains were permanently mounted to the porch ceiling; and the seat was large enough to occupy upto three people, with an armrest at each end with a rod on top, on which you could rest your foot. It was the most comfortable seat. It soon turned to be a medium to relax and calm our minds, we made it our space to unfold after the end of each day. The twinkling lights from the mountains afar and the stars aligned in such a way that they camouflaged and appeared to be a galactic view right under our feet, oh so beautiful! The cars on the distant mountains with their headlights on seemed like shooting stars from our sight. It took me back to my childhood days when I aspired nothing but to be able to touch the stars so with every stroke of the swing going upwards, the kid inside me was back a...
