I and my
teammates consisting of forest range officer, junior engineers and driver were
on excursion one fine sunday to Chamkhar
chu and nearby small stream. The day was filled with joy. We collected fern
and mushroom. We tried luck to bait trout. Not for killing and eating, but for outlandish
study by an engineer! It was long wait sitting on the huge boulder eyeing to feel
the jerk. There was no bite.

We went on to small tributary. We left no stone unturned in search of trout to
see how really it look like. I heard, it is one among the most delicious fish. Finally,
we got one. Ranger confirmed it to be snow trout. I photographed it.
In a meanwhile,
I posed for photographs with fish on palm. I directed my driver to focus on trout
on the palm with blur background. The fish was stifling without water. After
few shutter sound, I said, "it is ok, enough. The fish is dying".

After awhile
we took rest under the cool umbrella of huge tree. We drank Foster and juice to
self refresh. I was going through the photos snapped during our course of
exhaustive search for fish.
'Where is my photo with fish', I enquired him. 'Here',
he pointed to the photo below after scrolling few.

| A gift or token of remembrance. Simply cool!! |
I was like
WHAT?!!!, after seeing the photo. He was simply smiling and said; 'keep it as a
token of long remembrance sir'.
