Trekking

If you are someone who just likes walking on treks for no reason then read on. Trekking, i believe is only about walking. Its about walking in anticipation of whats going to come up in your next turn. How the valley will look like if you tread this stretch till the big tree. Are you really tired to walk for another minute? Or is it just another thought? This is all you encounter when you walk on treks and nothing else. Sometimes, you also  wonder who lives in that hut up there? And you walk by thinking you just saw what they show in movies. Oh! i am trekking, this is so natural and out-of-the-box way of enjoying yourself.


It is now that we call trekking .. 'trekking'. Earlier it must have been the only way to reach other places. Did they too enjoy the walk? or was it just another mundane activity for them. I think it was mundane for them. For what we think of olden times might not be altogether true. Most of the folk songs evolved because it was what made the journeys easier. To sing along the way.
