I lived to see another day

Yes, I did live to see another day with broken bones and aching body. But, I did.
It all started out when I agreed to be a moonlight treking expedition. I thought, waah, it will be like moonlight and valentino... I walk on to some hill, sit on a hilltop and enjoy the beauty of the nature when the world is fast asleep. Well, it was like thats for the first half an hour or so.... then, the trauma began. I was panting on the climbs and my flat-foot just added into the mess. I had no grip, so was always slipping and falling off here and there. Basically, I was the dumbest of all in the group.
So, I had Mr.Rao, the guide and everyone else pulling me up, dragging me towards another climb. Miserable I was.. It was a struggle for my body and mind was not working. I just resolved my system to only think of the next step. I managed to freak out everyone in the group. Everyone was yelling from all corners, "Come on Mayuri, you can do it".
At the end of it all, we had climbed up and down some 14-odd hills for the last 8 1/2 hours. That is, we walked throughout the night and well off the morning till 10 am. Pheeewwww..
WATEVER, I was dead when i reached home. Slept off for a while and then work like dog for the day while i waited to meet jinu next day.
