Good Man Ali’s Gardens
Well, school has declared a field trip. A trip to Alibag. A small sleepy town (that’s how I am imagining it) in Maharashtra that has much renown for its beaches. Even the flotsam and jetsam are clearly engraved in my daydream in which we sail from Mumbai all the way to Alibag. This highlights the glaring omission of any form of tyrannical leadership on such a journey. Yes. You read it here first. The Quartet that departs from Pune will transform into a trio by the time in Alibag. We will go past Mumbai and offload one member at Sahara.
In Alibag we will drop in to admire, and experience, the craft of one Mr.X. He hand crafts cars, something along the lines of the Lotus Sevens, Caterhams made in UK. Leaving for Mumbai at 6:00a.m and have no concrete plans about our return. But we return this very evening. So please feel free to picture me running (better still, driving) up and down the beach, all day (in all sorts of exotic machinery (while you dribble away in front of your screens cooped inside the office)). Maybe get a ride in his dune buggy as well. I’m hoping it turns out this way (not the dribbling away bit!!).
