Tania, Ajay and I flew back together. There was a mini scare at night with Amrita have burned legs and us trying to find something to soothe her. I still don't know how it happened. My only solution for all ailments - aspirin!
It was amazing to see the Zanskar and the Chadar from the sky. It was unimaginable to think that just yesterday we were down there, walking, hiking, trekking. It was amazing to see the Himalayas. Endless and timeless.
Delhi airport hit me badly. I was surprised. Firstly, seeing the digital light from a cell phone was weird. Once I reached the main Departure lounge, the colors, the people, the alphabets, the commercials, books, magazines - everything - became all too loud and a bit too much. I tried buying a pen and felt the transaction awkward (never mind that the sales clerk rang me up before I finished deciding to buy). Went for a foot massage at the O2 spa in the airport - that seemed relaxing. I felt disoriented for the most part of my wait for the Mumbai flight. I felt out of place and all too overwhelmed. I couldn't get myself to call anyone for awhile and was glad that email didn't work on my bberry. Images of Chadar kept coming back (they still do).
I missed the whiteness of the Himalayas terribly and kept shutting my eyes.
