On the 23rd evening we were on the road to Endpoint. Many students were walking and running towards the football ground. It felt good to see them. For two years the whole place wore a deserted look. It was terrible. I was smiling in amusement as I heard them talking about their classes and teachers and something or the other that happened in class. My mother and I were walking slowly, I overheard a little of what they were saying and could guess the rest. Some were wearing their earplugs and were talking on their phones loudly to someone on the other end. They looked so funny 😊.
I remembered those days when mobile phones started appearing in India . This was in 2002. We did not know anything about them and were startled to see some people talking and making gestures while walking. We thought they were crazy. When they came closer, we realized what was going on. So much has changed in the last twenty years. Now it is as if smart phones have become a part of our persons!! I always feel as children we had more freedom. Parents could not keep tabs on us. 😊
We walked on towards Endpoint. We saw cows walking across the football ground even as the students were playing . Both were used to each other. There have always been cows grazing by the hill sides. And there is good grass for them. Aravind and my husband walked till End Point. When my mother is with us, we walk till a certain point for fifteen minutes and return. This is a good place to walk. Sometimes we just sit and watch the sun set into the Arabian sea.
