And I saw the clouds moving past me reflecting the coolness of moon falling on them... The coolness of the moon on it 13rd day of full moon cycle was descending down my spine as I started visualizing the different shapes of the clouds. It was so pleasant to just watch the plane moving over the white clouds above Atlantic Ocean. Gradually moving map on the screen started showing Indian territories which caused a broad 'authentic' smile on my face for the first time in whole journey. I was flying from Dubai to Bangalore. And finally I landed in Bangalore International Airport after a long tiring journey of 26 hours.

Whole day, I roamed around in Namma Bengluru here and there nostalgically. The morning breeze had the fragrance which I left 2 years back. Same colors in surroundings and in people's heart. I lost myself in the beauty around me. My jet lag started draining me out by the evening so caught up with a quick nap to recover myself from tiredness. And as per plan, I left for the AOL international ashram saying a good-bye to all my bro's and sis.

First glimpse was enough to rejuvenate me from all the tensions and worries. It was tall and visible from far, The Vishalakhshi Mandapam. Multi-colors were radiating out from the top of the mandapam as if embracing and welcoming me. Soon after reaching and registering, I was all alone by myself for next one week. This loneliness is different in many sense because in spite of being alone here, I knew I was being accompanied by somebody who had bought me here.





I quickly settled myself up with couple of other folks from different parts of India (pune, hariyana and belgaum). Called up home as I knew I would be in Silence for next 7 days. And I went for a quick walk just to be with myself.
