The invincible giant looked perilous from a distance.
As the breeze carelessly brushes its shoulder with me,
I am already teleported at its peak,
Scaling its inevitably astonishing curves.
But the real conqueror is the gentle saturation of the green carpet,
That spreads like a virus in monsoons,
And gulp down the whole foothill like a gourmet.
And when everything is said and done,
Would you like to take a hike with me?

A beautiful lawyer, surprisingly single, wishes to tick off her travel bucket list.
A wise guy with a long beard, thinks to take some time off his passion for literature.
