Picture Perfect Pawana

She makes it seem as easy as breathing. Fearless and fourteen she wades off without a sound, except for that of our egos shattering with shame. Each one secretly knows the apprehensions they hold inside.

Snapping from this humbling realisation we swiftly hop into the kayaks. Straight out of a movie, except its real. Reflection of the setting sun, silhouette of blue mountains, storks flying...an experience so serene that we'd rather tire rowing than turn back.

'Right is left and left is right' were the instructions to row. And we quickly figured it out just to experience the awesomeness of lake Pawana.
