The crescent moon was intermittently shining high up in the sky and the owls were my only companions while I made my way through the dirt road that was almost non-existent under the pale moon light. The dead of the night had an eerie engulfing sensation all around me. I was in a state of reverie thinking about how I have landed here walking towards an unknown place, where my friends wait for me, hopefully.
I again tried to switch on my cell phone, but in vain. It died about an hour ago. Hoping that the place would be decent enough to have a few sockets, I remembered Josh’s words, “just a few kilometers away from the bustling road”. But in the middle of the night and in an unknown place, as everyone feels, I felt I had walked about ten miles or even more!! It was amazing to think I was just about a 100 km from my home town, Chennai. Musing over the thought how thindivanam had always been reasonably cheerful in day light I picked my way through the road with fields of paddy on my right and a small stream on my left, which fed the fields. It was then I realized that this place was neither here nor there for it was in the outskirts of thindivanam, a small village, I couldn’t even remember well and had to deal with the cranky conductor when I stammered on the name and gave some other. I felt beaten after the wearisome travel and the heavy baggage I was carrying. The board was much heavier than I had thought.
There at a distance I saw the lights from a bungalow, which didn’t fit the description I had in mind at all, but I knew it was the right one for I saw Josh and Aruna waving to me from the terrace. I continued walking towards it thinking about how it all started ….
