My trip to Nepanagar had started on the 24th of November. Nepanagar was my dad’s birthplace. My dad and his parents lived there for a long time. We were going there to attend a reunion for my father and his friends from kindergarten. They had not met for about 25 years. Even though it was very short we went to many places. We went to Sita Nehani, my father’s house 30 years ago, his school and the Pandhar River. At the airport, we met my father’s friend who was on the flight with us.
We went to his school, we got to see a match between current students and ex students,it was really fun.The ex- students won !!
I made 3 friends and we were a gang, we named it Black Pink(after a KPOP band) We sang, we danced even on the weirdest songs, but one thing that was the most thrilling adventure for adults and children alike was trekking into the forest down to a seasonal river. It was surreal, amazing and so adventurous. We went into the river into the cold water that ran just below my ankle, we collected shells, participated in stone throwing competition. I even fell into that shallow water like most of us who were trying to walk fast on the slippery rocks.
The memories of this trip are going to stay with me for a long time and friends I made are friends forever.
