I forgot in the last post that the inspiration
for the "live in the moment" came naturally, not from us, but the local
team, who when the vehicle arrived ,allowed us to sit(about15-20 of us)
"in" the security of the vehicle which looked like the land cruiser of
trax and they very easily got on the top carrrier(abt 8-10 of them).We
had to cover about 10-12 KMs of ghat and here again teh rains start
pouring..we despite of being compressed in teh vehicle were getting
wet..imagine what must be happening on the top.The ghat road, the rash
driving and the rains..what could happen...nothing!!!the songs which
were sung on teh road , now started coming from the top!!the driver was
so used to this that he did not blink an eyelid..(he also couldn't
afford one, as he was half on the seat, half outside..still driving ,
may god bless him with longer life!!)they knew that we could not
accomodate them in the jeep, the singing continued....,we stopped, they
alighted , just shook the water off their wet clothes and let them dry
on the body..imagine walking in winter(though cloudy) on 3600ft with wet
clothes...no problem!!Now isn't this , their view towatrds life?...just
flow...just be part of the whole!!
