Nov 9, Monday.
Dada came to drop me till the ever bustling village Naka, where I just hopped into one of the many Toofans zooming towards Gandhidham from Mundra. He waved at me and I waved back. I kept my luggage under the seat. As the toofan accelerated, I looked back towards him. Still, he was still there (Pun intended).... Looking at me.
The road, unlike of Mumbai was a straight one and with very little traffic, there wasn't any other vehicle behind. So even after having driven away 500 meters, I could appreciate a faint shadow of him, save getting smaller and hazier with each passing second...he must have waited there till I went out of the sight.
He waited for me in the blazing hot climate...that moment I will never forget.
I had been in Gundala (Taluka Mundra, District Kutch, State Gujarat) since the past 2 days.
Onward Journey had been 14 hours long, but time flew quickly when I had company of my sister. And it was comfortable traveling in train.
In these past two days of "vacation", all I did was "Eat. Sleep. Pray".
I ate so much and so frequently that I guess my stomach used be loaded with extra work even before he had done the given work of pushing the previous meal into the intestines!
Back to Mumbai, college and the upcoming exams now
