Rajgad Fort: 2nd
Dec 2018, MSIMQA team has accomplished the trekking of Rajgad Fort with great
joy, excitement and pride. Basically this trip was just a kick off for another
milestone – The Ultimate Goal is Harishchandragad.
We worked in short of AGILE mode
where random planning, less documentation and quick implementation which can
add the values (Memories, Enthusiasm, Team Building and Trust).
I started at 6:05 AM to pick up one LAD
from Hinjewadi & reached to waked flyover bridge at 6:15 am. Next
challenging event was to wait for Automation Girls which delayed the event by
15 min; looks like Thread. Sleep (900000)
hard coded not only in testing environment but personal life too – Just Joking.
First early morning view of sunrise,
chilled weather and at speed of 80 Km/hrs was really awesome. We reached at Katraj Dairy and started further
journey at Girish’s car where 4 YO youngest trekker – Ginny joined us. On other
side CZ guys and Abhishek & Akash reached earlier at agreed junction point
– Baneshwar. We had a pleasant
breakfast and then next journey to reach to Rajgad Base point kicked off. Rural
greenery, narrow road, surrounded by mountains, agricultural field, cows,
deshi-murga (Alarm Clock for villagers) and many more were adding calmness and
giving great pleasure – That’s called Real Life. In between two people stolen –
Sugarcane from field and distributed to all.
We
started ascending the hill and leaving our footprints for others. In b/w
unplanned situation came where few people were in deep thinking – Kahi Iske
Karan Wapas Na Jaana Pad Jaye but things managed & controlled. With limited
halts, zeal to concur the fort, group Selfies, helping each other and beautiful
songs helped us to reach to Entrance Gate of Fort – Pali Darwaza. We had opted
different kind of poses; some were risky and unique at gate then moved further.
At top, we found a pleasant place which
was awesome to take rest and have lunch. We halted 1 hour there and enjoyed Antakshri
and delicious food. Post lunch – We started heading toward the end point of the
fort with great narrow Kacha-Rashta which was surrounded by greenery, flowers
etc.
We all, finally reached the end point of
the fort and halted 15-20 minutes there. Nature was too good and looking down
from mountain was giving a feeling that we are at cloud 9 and enjoying the
beauty of god’s creation.
We started descending the hill at 16:30
hours and touched the base at around 18:00 hours which included lot of haltsJ. While returning – We have shown our hidden
talents – Sketching, Shayari, Songs, Unspoken Words, and Dreams (we get 1 life
so need to do many things).
We all were cordially invited by Girish
at his home for dinner where we had delicious food and enjoyed the moment.
Well, all agreed to say that this trip
was one of the best Trek which we ever had. Ginny and Girish were inspiring us
throughout our trek. Hope to see many more such kind of treks in future.
Here are the glimpse of our trek:
