Rest Day before flying out from Central Asia | Mankar Pravin

+24 | Rest Day ?!
By design, today is our rest day. This extra day is to cope up with any emergency kind of situation. Thanks god, in spite of running early from the beginning, we are ending tour 100 percent as per plan. We have added Khiwa in our plan and extended our reach to most beautiful destination. Right now feeling happy while resting at Sandip’s Den.
All of a sudden, a thought occurred. Why not revisit the cluster of Madrasas again. Cherish the beauty again. Re-doing, Re-reading, Re-seeing, Re-visiting, Re-experiencing - gives different joy, rather enhanced joy. I love it. Basically doing things again.
I declared to my world, Ulka, Mugdha and Sandip - my resolve - that I going to Registan Square and Bibi-Khatun Madarasa cluster. They said ‘ there is heat outside about 35 degrees ‘. I said ‘ I don’t give heed to heat. It’s my last day in Educational Hub of Central Asia, like Nalanda. Let me go by tram - Som 4000 only - Rs 30 only - to and fro ‘
I got liberated from What’s app, facebook and google for a while. Ohh what an idea ji ? What a relief? I have seen, if people have nothing to do, they do what’s app. Or facebook. It’s an activity itself. Actually over a period of time, new additional verb will come in to ‘ walky-talky ‘ English. The verbs - are - What’sapp, Facebook, X. The use will be like this - 1 - I what’sapped the photos to you long back ; 2 - Right now I facebooking, don’t disturb me ; 3 - I used to twitter, now I am Xing.
I embarked on Tram. Next 4 hrs was fun. I attended the prayer at Mosque. Went to Madrasa. Eat Osh. Tried beaf Somsa. I was with me. Reflecting on last 3/4 weeks.
*Free time is an opportunity for backpacker. If he gates bored with trying new, he can redo the old. Check his emotions. What he was feeling 1st time visiting. And now what are the feelings when he is revisiting. My feelings are similar to when mother is delivering 1st baby…. Lots of anxiety when visiting 1st time. When I revisit, feeling are like delivering 2nd baby. Calm, Cool and more focused*.
