Challenged , Provoked and ....

Its 2 :36 in the morning and I have my FMH examination today at 6 pm . have barely skimmed thru 30 percent of the course but find too boring to continue and finish the remaining 70 percent.Chuck it .Its better to do something which gives me much more satisfaction than the half hearted attempt to study a pretty boring subject which is supposed to be my bread and butter :P .Therefore I write .

Had gone to the adventure camp this weekend.It was a gr8 trip filled with amazing fun and loads of unforgettable experiences.But this particular incident needs immortality , therefore I have decided to pen it down.

It was the onset of caving(Supposedly an adventure sport where u try to carve space for u from small spaces in between rocks , sometimes dividing ur body into parts and trying to get your parts one by one out of the hole till synergy is established :P ) .But bf4 that we were supposed to climb a rock that lead to the caving area totally on our own .Although a rope was tied around us for safety reasons .The right side of the rock had relatively deeper hand holes and foot holes to help climb rather easily (a very subjective opinion though:)).Left side was tougher with barely visible holes tough to grab let alone deep.Anyways everybody was climbing via the right portion(as if their was any option).The instructor from the previous group had allowed few daring souls to climb the rock via the right portion without the rope and they did that easily . In the process though they inspired me to do the same.I had lead the rock climbing session bf4 this , so had enough confidence in me to do the same .
Nyways my instructor strictly denied me to climb without a rope.Once ,twice ,thrice I asked ,but he denied and ended my trial even bf4 the onset

But this guy had other plans idea.

"So u think u can climb the rock without a rope.Let me see what can u do now.The rope
remains but u'll climb from the left side.Let's see how u fare " .

Hmmm .Now wat .This man is crazy .Its pretty tuff for a novice like me and to add to it i had slightly longer nails due to which it was tuff to get a grip.
I tried once ,twice thrice failed.Started climbing from the easier right ."Stop ,u were speaking a lot , u hv no option cm from left or stay there" ."I cant sir its tough almost impsosible".
"Leave it sir let him climb '-said my colleague .
"No-now as u have said u have to do it , You were blabbering a lot.Common "
were his words when he started laughing and making fun wid a colleague of his.That was tht , I couldn't take more.I somehow made a grip and tried hard to get some momentum.My friends started cheering me up and that was the tonic required .I tried hard ,harder , and finally my perseverance paid off.I gathered sm momentum and used that momentum to almost ran away to the top.Yessssss.I had done it .

I gave a angry glare to the the instructor ,threw the rope ,took off my helmet disregarding any respect for safety and looked above.My friends were cheering.This was the moments.Moments u cherish and I was luving it.

I again looked at the instructor who suddenly uttered "I knew u'll do it".He had a sense of pride. I smiled and said thx.Even I had a sense of pride.Thx sir.Thx friends.I am waiting for much more such moments .


Well he challenged , he provoked , and I WON.
