            Thank you! As for the color, I'm a graphic artist so everything for me needs an underlying visual theme and a "Black and white story" was the theme I rolled with on this one. I thought it went well with the history of the place. Except for one, where there are houses painted in red amongst shrubs of green, which I thought needed the color - hence a "mostly" black and white story ;-)

The waiter knows better. They have all got their papads. "No extra papad!", he screams in mock disgust. They leave grudgingly, guided by their teachers. One child remains. He has eaten little. His coach, a large man with dense facial hair, reassures him that there's no need to hurry. "I will wait for you Aryan. Eat slowly.", his voice booms. Aryan nods shyly, rocking his dangling feet, never looking up, never saying a word, thinking thoughts I do not hear. His eyes betray a glint of comfort in his mentor's words, if only for a fraction of a moment.


                  My thoughts turn to the coach. What is the source of his compassion? Parental instincts? An abused childhood and therefore perhaps, a desire to give what he did not get? A fortunate childhood and hence no knowledge of the alternatives? I may never know. But I do know this. I will wait for Aryan to finish.

                  The best part so far ...

                            That man in enroute a solo journey to South again (I know the route plan, but I guess theres some reason why he wanted it to be a secret)

                            As far as closing this chapter is concerned. Neah! I dont see that happening!
                            May be he will write about the new journey!
