DIARY ENTRY

September 2022

I felt very excited about the trip. I came to school at 5:30 in the morning. I sat beside Nischal in the bus. I slept merely half the time because I wanted the time to pass quickly. When I reached Manavanam it was just as I expected it to be. We got freshened up and went to have a warm up walk to the foothill of a big hill. To be honest the warm up was more challenging than the main trek. We came back got freshened up again and ate our dinner which was very and I mean very delicious and mouth-watering. The food was made by Anita miss a big thanks to her. The staff were actually very nice and calm. I thought the staff there would be very bossy and, for once, I actually had some fun. Then we went to the campfire at night. The fire kept burning my eyes, but it was worth it. The next day I cried in the bus because Mustaq sir scared me with the possibility of tigers coming inside the bus. Some brothers caught two fishes. The campfire on the day was really fun and tiring.
We were told to learn the 21 different types of fruits and vegetables there. We were asked to create an edible dish from a certain amount of food. We burned the potato and eggplant given to us. We went for a little walk and planted some coconut trees and left for home. I felt really sad that I had to leave on the last day.
