My elevator pitch
Hello all..Today's writing prompt from LYL team is "What's your elevator pitch?"..well..I don't exactly have an elevator pitch because I'm not very passionate about anything..I have very short-lived bouts of curiosity and interest in stuff..but one thing I absolutely love to do is travel and trek..I wish to be on the road most of the time..the anticipation of the destination, the people I get to meet along the way, the sights I get to see..all this truly makes me come alive..I'm a very nascent, yet responsible traveller..I love to hear about the travel tales of others and it is particularly fun and refreshing to hear about their experiences and opinions about places that I've also visited and how it differs from mine.Also I feel alive when I'm trekking up a mountain..If I have to get down on all fours to climb it, all the more fun it is..I'm very good at choosing the best possible route in tricky terrains and my instincts about which stone to step-on and where not to step my foot is super accurate and I'm a bit proud of it too...I would love to set-up a mountaineering club, much in the lines of Bangalore Mountaineering Club, in my hometown of Trivandrum. There are plenty of forest reserves and mountain ranges nearby Trivandrum where I can take nature-enthusiasts and trekkers on a journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation while doing this responsibly and without intrusion to nature. I've decided to advance my mountaineering skills by undergoing basic mountaineering course at Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Darjeeling this coming May..the course is extremely gruesome and one needs to be physically very very fit to complete it..And I'm very very out of shape..I have a very uphill task of getting in shape within 3 months ahead of me.I hope I can do it..If I complete it, it would be the greatest achievement of my life so far. I wish I get to start the mountaineering club and see it grow from a few members to a big, enthusiatic community of outdoors enthusiasts participating in a variety of activities like hiking, rappelling, zip-lining etc. all across Kerala..I hope the universe would help me achieve all these things..Amen.
