The return journey

A bus was scheduled to leave to Bangalore at 10 pm. I bought mineral water, and some sweets for the journey. Already it was getting cold. The seats in the so-called ‘Deluxe’ bus were very uncomfortable. Not pushback ones. This was nothing like ‘Rajahamsa’. The bus left at 10:15 pm.
Mahesh listened to some music, whereas I tried to sleep. At around 11:30 pm, I woke up with a splitting headache; a paining neck and back, and my legs were sound asleep. The headache did not go for a long time. But then, there was a stop at Sakleshpura, near Muzrabad fort. It was really really cold outside. I just couldn’t stop the shivering of my body. We had some hot tea, after which, the headache vanished. Then, I was sound asleep in the bus. There was another stop at around 2:15 am. Then, I never woke up again, until lights were switched on. Outside, I could see a thousand gleaming lights, announcing the arrival of Bangalore. It was deserted outside. There were stops at Rajajinagar, and the bus strolled on towards the KSRTC bus stand. Bangalore was a lot cold as well. We reached the bus stand at around 5:20 am. Mahesh, who had already run out of money, borrowed some from me, and went on, bidding me goodbye. Soon 111C came, and I boarded it. RT Nagar was empty, with only a few early morning joggers and some dogs around.
So that was the end of our trip, an educative one for me, and a pilgrimage tour for Mahesh. Our next plan is to Nandi Hills.
