The Boomerang - A walk to remember - Blue Mountains

 



A mountain trip such as this is worth it even when the rain gods shower their unconditional love upon you, right when you are out in the open and running for cover isn’t a cool option in the woods, don't you think?
Let’s ride into the memory lane of one of the best mountain trips I have had till date – The Katoomba - Blue Mountains. I feel incredibly fortunate to have realized this dream, the dream of travelling and my love for sharing it is as contagious. So, join me folkies, I am confident that you will enjoy this journey. Before we go on, I would like you to meet Kat and Oomba who made my trip particularly interesting with their sublime humor.

We were here -
We started walking from the Katoomba station to the echo point to experience the scenic extravaganza



A random picture clicked on our way to the Blue Mountains


 

The long roads are a pleasurable sight and sight only, the walk was quite a trek in itself
 

A pleasant sight of sweet sunflowers - I shot the freshest one from the bunch. They have their monsoon blues too right?
 



Another long road, with lush green trees hugging from both sides






We stopped by at the Maple Grove Park panting and growling like blood-thirsty hounds.

 


A surprise mini-waterfall near the Maple Grove





When we neared the entrance, almost completely exhausted, this mystery well kept us on our heels


A Katoomban style cave

Are you guys wondering what we were planning on doing from here? Here is what - an exciting round-walk from the Prince Henry Cliff walkway to the amazing scenic skyway, cableway and railway and to reach the perfect location from where we can get the best view of the Blue mountains. Follow me...
 
 
 

I am trying to keep the posts as simple and short as possible here and that is why I am doing a series of posts to cover just the Blue Mountains. Believe me, it was worth it and for those who are planning to go here, it will definitely help you find your way back (just in case, you know?!) :)

Diet Horror Story

Food in the time of dieting. This is exactly like love in the time of Cholera, only, here, the love is for food. Your cravings are at an all-time high, you surprisingly become more lazy, you feel anxious when eating out, you are looking up every diet plan there is in the planet, your best friend suddenly looks thinner, your weighing machine needs repair and perhaps you are even subconsciously praying to god to help you shed those extra luggage. It is not because you have started eating a pea less than before that your body feels so weird when you start a diet. No. If you have any of these symptoms , trust me, your body has nothing to do with it. I am not a diet expert or an aspiring model, but I know what I am talking about. I have been through this outrageously pathetic stage of my life during my adolescence when I felt that cringing need to diet when some really jobless people called me a pumpkin, literally. I was too young to reason with myself. I started this tailored diet pl...

A life without pencil erasers?

This morning, I got a good dose of philosophy from the newspaper. It isn’t very often that you get to read unique articles and this particular one definitely made my Friday morning a thoughtful one. It was the ‘World View’ column with the title “Pencil Erasers may be the ‘devil’” that caught my attention. It got me thinking about the process of unlearning taught to us at school. A lot of questions popped up. Why do we hide our mistakes? Why isn’t it okay to make mistakes? Why are we taught to make up for a mistake? Why aren’t we taught to look at the mistake and learn from it? Why do we erase a mistake? Why aren’t we being naturally ourselves? Why do we need an eraser? The last question is what instigated me to write this post. What if Edward Nairne had not invented an eraser by accident? What if we were never introduced to the concept of the eraser at school! I should admit that the little wad of rubber that undoes all the mistakes made by your mighty pencil is inde...

Make Up and Me (Not Me)

They say people who don't know to dance have two left feet. Although, I might have two left feet myself, what is more interesting is I might actually have two left hands. Okay, I understand that's funny but here is why: If you are a girl or a boy or a boy who looks like a girl, you would probably know that it is a thing now to have a makeup blog or vlog or youtube channel in your name. I bumped into this world of cosmetics, beauty blogs and tutorials only a few months ago. For those who don't know about it, let me tell you, it is a crazy, ruthless and unbelievable world. Picture sourced from Google Heard of these? Snail slime masks, Placenta hair masks, Seaweed bathing creams, Microblading.... and endless other such insane stuff. These are insane but quite popular among beauty enthusiasts and they even swear by the benefits of such products. These are otherwise cringe-worthy products in my world. I use gramflour+tumeric face mask, Coconut oil hair mask and  a...
