+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As soon as we got off the train, we started looking around for someone to receive us at this unfamiliar place. We were at New Delhi, the capital of India. The station was damn big and posh. But the crowd got my nerves. There was not enough space to keep walking without stamping on about a dozen feet! DJ held my hand firmly, as if trying to protect me from this crowd....
Finally, to our relief, we found some officially dressed people who looked like teachers. On further inquiry, we found them to be people who had come to receive us on the platform. After making sure of our identity, they took us along with our luggage to the car. It was a white colored Maruti Dzire. The car was nice, except that I liked Honda I-Vtec better for its sleek and streamlined shape.
Our luggage was successfully loaded. DJ sat at the front with the hired driver and I sat behind with the teacher. She was sweet and had a child-like face. Like most of the Indians, she had a light bronzed face that shone with confidence. She was shorter than me as where I was 5'8" she looked somewhere about 5'6", otherwise a good height for women here. Her hair was raven black up to her thighs!!! Wow-longer than mine...I had it only till my waist.
She must have been somewhere between 23-25 yrs. Old. The feature that made her physique memorable was her left hand which had 6 fingers. SIX FINGURES!
We soon began talking.
"Mam, may I know your name?" I asked.
"Sure Sarah, I'm Miss Sneha Sharma", she replied politely.
So, Sneha... She knew my name as I'd told that on the station.
"Sneha mam, why didn't you get your sixth finger removed? I mean most people do that by surgery....", I asked. I know it seemed a bit rude, seeing hat I'd met her only five minutes before. But I hadn't been able to hold my curiosity.
She smiled, just a simple-sweet smile.
Then after a pause she said, "Well that's what most of my friends advised me since childhood. But I don't believe in superficiousness. I mean what is the need to cut off some feature that God has so kindly bestowed upon me? He gave it for some greater good and I'm not going to throw away this God's gift.", she replied.
Wow, what originality. I already liked this lady a lot. She was confident in a way I always lacked in myself. Maybe she'll teach me to be confident during this camp!
Then she also told me that some other students for the camp had already arrived while others had to be picked up by Sneha mam from trains that were coming tonight. She was the 'Student's Safety In charge' in this camp. This was an extremely important duty as New Delhi was an unsafe city in many matters.
But I knew that with her I was safe in Delhi....
Then finally we reached the campus chosen for the camp. It was a large ground,imagine twice the land under a football court. It was all covered in lush green grass, looking like a green carpet. At the center was a small building like structure. There were beautiful trees all around the place.
Many birds could be heard chirping even at this time of the day. I was so delighted that I started roaming in circles around the place, simultaneously listening songs from my MP4.The place was awesome and its beauty struck me right in the heart...I was at peace, I was delighted....
I rang up my mother to tell her that I had safely reached Delhi and was now under the supervision of trusted teachers. I also learned that she had worried herself a lot on my account. She repeatedly asked me if I were fine, if I had had my food properly, if I fell anything wrong with the weather, etc. After assuring her that I was fine in every way possible, I went towards the teachers.
A fat and grumpy looking lady was giving a small lecture on discipline. Hell with it. Why is it that the first thing that teachers talk about is DISCIPLINE? Anyway, she was Mrs. Rathore and was the head of our camp here. Huh heads are always strict people only? I looked around and found Sneha mam yawning ! I grinned at her and she grinned back. Anyone would be bored with a disciplinary lecture !!!!
After listening some more I learned that the small building at the center wa the mess for food and had basic necessities like first aid too. All other chores were to be done outside. We had to make tents and sleep in them at night. We had dig pits for lavatories. There were two big tents too at the opposite corners of the ground which were the girls and the boys' bath places.
Over all it focused on staying close with the nature and facing challenges of it without human made comforts. I liked it.... I was please and was waiting for the camp to begin tomorrow with all the students....Hope it goes well....
