You are really FAAST...have you ever went to a forest to stay there for a couple of days. It is really awesome..
ReplyDeleteThanks Partha. Yes, I have stayed in resorts pretty close to forests. Agree that the experience is terrific :)
DeleteBeautifully written. I'd once camped in the forest, when I was a child. I wish I get to repeat the experience. :)
ReplyDeleteCamping in a forest is very exciting, Kiran! That's getting close to nature. I plan to do that :)
