Lovely photo of Chuki Mayadas in their home. I visited them one last time before leaving for Lucknow a second time. I didn't think I would have time on my way back, and I was right.
I seem to spend almost a day exhausted from the heat and tired from the travel, just rearranging my suitcases for the next place. I would leave one bag with the unnecessary things behind when leaving for a new destination. The problem was I didn't always stay with the same people on my return. So they would have to deliver my suitcase to the new location or we would have to find a suitable in-between place to do the pickup. Thank goodness for wonderful relatives...who didn't seem to mind my showing up for just an overnight so I could catch the train in the early morning from their house as they were the closest to the Railway Station. Stella (my cousin)and family were wonderful for this. Suraj her son got up with me (and so did Stella and her husband)to drive me on two occasions to the New Delhi Railway Station. We would wake up around 4 am as the train left for Lucknow at 6:15 am...and the ride was atleast 45 minutes. On the last drive....Suraj made it in 1/2 hour.....Thank you Suraj, I will never forget this.
Pearls of Wisdom: Stay calm amidst the clamour of useless noise and the serenity you have will rub off on others. It may even give you a glow.
