Nalsarovar to Little Rann of Kutch via Ahmedabad
Distance travelled: 211.2 km

Damages for the day

Rs 600 fuel
Rs 35 Gujju Thali
Rs 5 ChaiStay: No money, no hotel so I am living in a temple --Vasada Dada amidst the Desert of Little Rann of Kutch!! (Considering becoming a permanent resident here.)

Most of the morning I spent on editing pictures for the blog. This took me a good two hours, as I had to create pictures from the videos I shot. I did not to carry a still camera. Before you jump to conclusions, let me clarify... this is surely not a result of the onset of dementia; I intentionally did not carry one. Every time it can’t be as goofy as it sounds!It was almost 11.am when I started for Ahmedabad, the nearest city, to find the data cable I was looking for. The city was at a distance of 65 kms from where I was in Nalsarovar. Definitely a detour, but I was sure to find the gadget there. On arrival to city, I felt like Detective Karamchand at work solving some mystery of locating the right cord, at computer stores... of-course Kitty and the carrot were missing.The hunt was on. To my surprise I found not a soul who had any clue. No one was able to guide me to a store or the market that sold computer related goods. Was I in a remote village or what? I needed help. No, actually someone who understands what I was saying. The USB data cable almost sounded like words out of Greek and Latin dictionaries to them!!!
Like a smart idiot, I thought the next best option was to look for a computer institute to get the right info. Soon enough I successfully located one. My first clue for the day, guided me to Bodak Road a computer market area.There goes Karamchand again looking for the Bow-Duck area. What luck!! Just then my eagle eyes spotted a familiar sign board – CROMA!!! Case was solved successfully and sooner than I thought! I parked my bike right outside the store. I was still in the detective mode, keeping an eye on my bike and belongings! I tried to coax the watchman to look after the bike while I shopped. After an initial hesitation he eventually agreed to watch over it. I was physically in the store but my mind and eyes did not leave the bike even for a minute! My buy from CROMA was an external Hard disk drive and a USB data cable. Yes!! Mission accomplished! This one is the latest addition to the existing army of almost 16 USB cables sitting back at home.
After all this, it was time to get rolling. I looked into figuring out the route I would take to arrive at my next destination – The little Rann of Kutch.The route I planned was Viramgam- Dasada – Jenabad – Jinjwada. From Jinjwada then go off-road 20 km to Vasada dada Temple -- my night halt amidst the desert. I had visited this place about two years ago. Having great memories of feeding fresh grass to a zillion cows, I could not wait to get back there and relive all of it.

I was on track, cruising at a steady speed, enjoying the ride. It was past the lunchtime and I was hungry. Just before Dasada, I took a lunch break. Treated myself to Gujju delicacies in a so-called famous (THALI) with bhajia, methi na fulavda and the usual roti, daal, bhaat, shaak. Proud of being an unusual Gujju Dhokla! This adequately fueled my energy levels to get going again.On the way to the Little Rann of Kutch I had to off-road a distance of about 20 km from Dasada. The landscape I saw was all about dry lands, not much vegetation and with only a few hutments of the renowned salt-makers of the Rann. As I moved further on, following the flags that guided me to the way, I came across a sign saying “ROAD CLOSED” and I saw no flags after that point. It was instinct and past experience that guided me in determining where to go. I was successful and accurate enough in my judgement to ride to the destination.
I arrived at the Vasda Dada temple at about 5.00 pm. Here, I was warmly greeted and welcomed by Patel Bhai. I met him about two years ago on an expedition to the Little Rann of Kutch. We had tea and snacks together, indulged in exchanging stories and tales that made conversations interesting enough to last for over an hour or so.

Being a small remote place with not many people and no electricity, I sort of felt disconnected from gadgets and gizmos, but one with nature. It gave me time for some relaxation, introspection and thinking under a dome of stars. Laying in the open on a charpai (a traditional bed made of a frame woven with choir ropes) was freezing cold, and I tucked myself under two blankets trying to keep myself warm!

A night I spent in silence watching the stars above on a chilly winter night.

This marks the end of day four!
