Challenging Hike!
Filed Under Daily, Hiking | Leave a Comment
23 kms: 2 peaks up to 1130 m with a marathon runner, a cyclist, a swimmer/basketball player and other unknown athletes with unlimited stamina! Well I was quite humble during the hike. I was at the front of the hike with the cyclist who did not say a word but seemed to be doing fine […]

My blog is now one year old! It has changed so much since it first started. I never thought I would hold that long and I kept it updated quite regularly. It also has become easier for people to follow whenever they feel like my whereabouts. It is stored on Eno’s Slackware box somewhere in […]
