Me, My Guru on a Road Trip


Day one:-10:00 am

We stopped our bus for breakfast. Aziz went into the fields to talk to the owner. Guru had asked him to. When he came back his smile told us that he had secured permission for us to eat in that mango field. We had brought our breakfast along with us. This was again our Guru’s idea. She insisted on taking upma and idli for our breakfast and so it was ordered. This way she said we could avoid searching for a hotel at least the first day. Now I felt it was a good thought as we spread our bed sheets under the mango trees. We wouldn’t have experienced this joy of eating in any hotel.

We invited the field workers to join us. They were pleasantly surprised and joined us. Our Guru talked to them as if she knew them since ages. They were very comfortable with her we completed our breakfast within half an hour. Our Guru wished to have a look at the fields. The landlord obliged gladly. They left. Few of us stayed back to clean and pack everything. While some joined her in her “tour of the field”. They came back in half an hour.
