What could be a better place to bid them good bye in the light of blessings of Almighty.
For me personally, they are out of those few persons whom I try to idealize. Not everyday you meet people who being at such a high positions, are as close to you as a colleague of yours. I wonder who won't feel enthused to give their best when guided by such mentors. Even if it is a challenge, a goal, a fault of yours, or a self-improvement objective, it is conveyed by them in such a manner that is seems too puny to be insurmountable. I feel lucky to have worked for them.
The travel was decided to be through a train amidst the apprehensions of delay due to foggy weather conditions. These apprehensions later proved to be false. With more than two dozen of my teammates the trip was sure going to be a thorough entertainer. An Antaakshri session that lasted all the way up and random songs during the return trip that varied according to the mood (read extent of tiredness :) ).
The walls still show the age old bricks that have witnessed the history and probably the eyes of Guru Ji have glanced over those walls sometime in the past. Some Sikh warriors might have been standing with folded hands there while taking orders from the Guru Ji. These all thoughts were overwhelming.
Also went to Bauli Saahib gurdwara, where lies the source of fresh groundwater that Guru Ji had pointed to by his arrow.
138 steps to the water source and back was exercise for some, warm up for others and exhaustive for some. I realized the importance of spending six months a year at gym when I found myself comfortable during the return to the top :)Back home, all sound and fresh, I was thankful for the moment. Next day was Sunday. All errands that are normally distributed over two days have to be accomplished in one!
Off to the bed I went!
