And life goes on...
It was an emotional evening, to say the least. My guide and role model had to finally pack his bags and leave, heading south east in search of new challenges. He preferred to seek out new challenges instead of 'coasting around' (as he would describe it). Kudos to him. He would be flying in, once a month or so but I guess it would never be the same. Life would never be the same again.
On a less emotional note, a word of advice, if you are going all the way to see off your near and dear ones in the international departures area, don't bother buying a ticket and getting in. They have erected this big barrier, a good distance away from the main door leading to the check in area, visitors are expected to stand behind this barricade and talk to the ones whom they come to see off. Looks more like a scene in a prison. Security reasons, they claim, and they have the cheek to charge 60 bucks for this 'facility'.
Got back home and tried to divert my mind with something else. Listened to some Mozart for sometime, I don't have an extensive collection of his works or anything, but the few tracks that I listen to (over and over again) have their desired effect, they give me peace of mind and calm me down.
Finally through with reading Shalimar the clown. Was a worthwhile read. Peace still remains an illusion in the troubled valley....
