I was not feeling well sitting idle, something was upsetting me being alone at Manoj's house. The only thing to was surfing internet, somehow I started reading Math's blog from her facebook post. She written all about her traveling experience, she was documenting her memories via blogs, I flipped when I was she mentioned my name too. She was enjoying her trip to India, my heart started beating fast to go there and join with her for adventure. I sent her a message on facebook, and asked to join her which she agreed.
The following day I packed my bag and took a train, I reached Rishikesh in the evning around 8pm. I went to the guest house she was staying with her friend. My first meeting with her in real, I can tell will go along well. She is really a nice girl, more nicer than I thought. This Cottage didn't had any vacancy, so I tried another one and got the room at Bhandari Swiss Cottage just for Rs.250 only. I never traveled as backpacker so didn't had idea if you can rent a room that cheap !
Later we met for dinner and went for a long walk along the Ganges.
Returning back to her guest house, I met her American friend James, who was leaving next day to Delhi. We did talk for some time and came back to my Cottage with promise to meet her next morning for Yoga. I found her sweet to everyone. I had met foreigners before, traveled to few countries for work but it was my first time being friends and travel, they are open, caring and yes way more wise.
I am a lazy young boy, never woke up early in the morning except when I have no choice and was is calling. She might have already noticed so she came to my room pulled me out of bed for yoga, we spend there at least an hour. I was the Indian among foreigners. I liked as she paid 100 rupees for me, I didn't brought my violet as I didn't had any idea that I have to pay for Yoga class. It was good experience, but my body must be aching rest of the day.
My Cottage was way better than her, so as her friend checked out so after breakfast she moved to my Cottage, Room was not cleaned and check in was not possible before 12 pm so she kept her stuff into my room and we left the hotel and by walking we reached the beach on the corner of Ganges.
It was funny as I being Indian didn't know own country and a foreigner with a book in hand was showing me my own country. I would have never experienced it without her, because we Indians do not travel like this. we miss so many details...
