The Populous Privacy!

The Populous Privacy

A hot sunny monday morning. After days of early rising and inadequate sleep, here was another one. Two things were happy about this day. 1) This would be the last such day for the next 3 days. 2) There was a long awaited quiz. Well, anyway, after half hour of hurried, tense stuff, i reached rendezvous point! After a long journey with a slight twist and a useless dispense of some money, the destination was reached. The quiz was amazing, though my team did not succeed. The more amazing part comes next.

From the venue of the quiz, was in sight, an ancient fort. Centuries old. It was my long awaited wish to go there. Apparently, i went there when i was 3 years old. I wanted to see it, now, that i have attained complete control over my brain and can retain memory. One of my friends, proposed a plan to go there. I jumped up in joy. A short ride along the fort wall and giant archways; a path similar to that of Minas Tirith, Gondor, we reached the entrance. A small gate, surrounded by human settlements, welcomed us. A cheap entry fee, and the whole fort, was left to roam. It was a huge fort, atleast 2 kilometers to the top and god knows how much the radius. 

The fort was filled with people, and yet, it offered a privacy. A privacy which was like no other, a unique type of privacy. The fort had more of a "Lord Of the Rings" setting. The fort area looked like Mines of Moria, just more open and less dark. The paths leading to the top of the hill were all like the bridges of Khazad-Dum. A fall from any of them would've been fatal. 

The walls were high, very high, they were not bound by cement but some other material made of mud, jaggery etc.  There were certain dark places, which looked like the tomb of Balin. Though some places were unaccessible, the fort was lovely and beautiful. A fun filled, energetic trek to the top, and we, the fellowship, reached the top of the hill. It was literally touching the skies. We were above a thin layer of clouds. In the heat of summer, the place was cool and refreshing. It was like something on Weathertop.

The journey down was steep and slippery like the stairs ascending from Minas Morgul. It was an adventurous day.
