Hirudo medicinalis Linnaeus

found this little guy on the way to Sringeri yesterday.
man, the memories that came rushing back...

The Trek to Kodachadri...
ninth, october, 07...

[memories - leech filled]
the numerous leeches from the very beginning.. the every-ten-minute-leech-check breaks... arbit photos of leeches...pouring vast amount of salt into the shoes and socks... the leech on sagar's stomach... and the one vk's calf... the huge leeches inside my shoe (my legs still bear the scars)... santosh hotel leech videos... dreams filled mainly with standing, quivering leeches in that damn cold night on top of kodachadri...

[memories - the ones without leeches]
everything else about that amazing trip... but my job has been made most easy, coz all that needs to be put down here, has already been posted in awesome detail by vk (one among the five trekkers). if the kind reader has not yet seen that epic post, he really needs to detour to "Kodachadri - A Walk in the Clouds", right now.

ps: [oh, that reminds me... my nails need trimming]
