The journey

The journey was comfortable (that’s why you call it ‘Rajahamsa’). I slept peacefully, whereas Mahesh, who normally doesn’t sleep during journeys, listened to music for hours together. There was a stop first at Kunigal at 11:27pm. We had coffee to beat the cold. The bus stopped there for about 10 minutes. The next stop was at Sakleshpura. This time, we had tea. The bus stopped there for another 10 minutes. Later, I slept. We reached Hassan, I don’t know when. I was asleep. After a nice sleep, the lights switched on. The time was 5:27 am. It was Dharmasthala.
