Motor Cycle Diaries 2

Again I had a bright dawn! Drowsy morning (in fact at 9.30 am late for few) and I had started my office journey. A dusky under constructed road was throwing sand in my heavy eyes. Few human movements only found. I see a client in each people I visit these days. That’s what business makes you. In fact, I am in profession but how many times I remember it? Neither I nor do anyone else does.

Suddenly I saw the same old man I met last time with the same complete white attire added with a blue cap. Weather was showing some monsoon signs and it was not that hot still he was wearing a cap and that may be because of his old age. I was in hurry and so I had to take U-turn to reach to him. His shaken old voice hurriedly hit my ears – Atmajyoti Ashram, Beta?” I – “Oh yes. I was just...!” Before I complete he had already taken the back seat with the help of putting his right hand on my shoulder. See, again I was driver of the UNINVITED DEVDUT.

Inside I was happy. My selfish mind had started thinking about a beautiful wealthy day being a reward for this sacred help. I recalled the last times good happenings. That temple was not even half a kilometre away. “Please leave me at the extreme opposite of the temple.” – His voice was pleading. “Jay Shree Krishna Beta. Aavje!” Once he glared at temple and don’t know why he got some spiritual swift in his legs and he rushed inside. I turned back and confirmed he is going inside as I heard somewhere in mythologies that god comes in any ways or souls. If he is the never-found-unimaginable-super human being (god simply), I would not like to miss that opportunity. In fact, I got some questions inside to ask him.

5 seconds after I was on my way.

  2. I don't want to ask him his name if he meet me next time. Just repeat the history - "Can I give you a lift one more time?"
