The fantastic visit to Jaiselmer came to an end on 27 Dec 12 and we checked out of Club Mahindra at 1000 Hrs. The bonds and friendships developed with the young crew at Club was great and we had a great sign off.
Train 14660 to Delhi left Jaiselmer sharp at 1720 hrs and our Man Friday (Guide) ANAND BASU was at the Station to bid us farewell. Hats off to Rajasthan. The journey of this train is slightly painful as there is no pantry car, however, we were adequately loaded. The food that we carried from Jaiselmer was also shared with our co-passengers who incidentally were also with us at the Club.
The journey was made comfortable as I slipped into my bunk and read the SHADES OF OLIVE GREEN by BPS MANDER/FOX/34. The book captivated me completely as I slipped inside its fantastic canvass and the story line kept me engaged till I finished it late into the night. If you read this book , then we can surely bet that there is at least one Fox inside one of the 3 ex-NDA Army Offrs around whom the story revolves. A must read...
New Delhi welcomed us with the cold bite and with a generous help from PRASHANT BIST/FOX/96 who gave us lift from Delhi Cantt Stn where autos/ taxis are hard to find for Delhi Cantt. Many thanks Prashant for making our travel a comfortable experience.
