Abstract
Nowhere does man express himself as honestly as he does in a diary. And the diary of a spiritual aspirant is bound to contain basic truths which will throw light on the dark recesses of our own personalities. Circa forty years ago in 1980, a young researcher in NanoTechnology and spiritual aspirant traveled barefoot throughout Himalayas on a rare Pilgrimage of discovery. At the end of each long, tiring day, he meticulously entered his thoughts and experience in two small, clothbound diaries. Often going without food, sleeping wherever he put down his bundle for the night, lashed by the cold northern winds, he established a deep and lasting communion with nature. His pen becomes dipped in sheer poetry as he describes the Himalayan splendor around him. His grumblings, too, are always edged with tongue-in-check humor, with never a trace of bitterness. The narrative is interestingly interspersed with his own sketches of the routes, villages, or temples along way. This young aspirant is the author of this note.
