Finally…
There have been no cases of unaccountable poltergeism since the last two days. The changed locks have done their job it seems, keeping at bay the unseen intruder(s). But that still doesn’t explain the voices. I still hear them infrequently, at no particular time. They come and go after brief interludes. Maybe it’s all happening [...]

19th May, ‘08 - 0530 hours - I slept fitfully last night. GBS, Ms. T and BP are still sleeping. The journey’s drawing to a close. I wish the train wouldn’t stop… the stations would just fly by and the train would go on for ever. It’d get boring after a little while though. I [...]

18th May, ‘08 - 0530 hours - Hassan and BP are scouting the taxi stand for anyone who would take us to Jammu. I stand on the pavement, shivering and marvelling at the city’s structures. Neat roads, white buildings… the JK Bank building is impressive. Taking a photo might invite unnecessary questioning. Instead, I concentrate [...]

17th May, ‘08 - 0530 hours - It’s difficult to come to terms with the fact that our stay at Leh has come to an end. Going back seems almost impossible now, the codes, the cubicle, the machine, the mails… they mock me with an all-knowing smile. How much I wish not to, I’ve got [...]

16th May, ‘08 - 0530 hours - If I were not so drowsy, I’d get up and throw that damn thing out of the window. I want to go out and take some pics before the sun is harsh, but I’ll let it pass for the chance of sleeping for one more hour.
16th May, [...]

15th May, ‘08 - 0700 hours - At Khardungla, I was overwhelmed by this feeling of helplessness. I can’t point my finger at anything in particular. It was as if at the highest point, I was coming of age, being face to face with the vicissitudes of nature, falling in love with and consequently hating [...]

14th May, ‘08 - 0500 hours - It’s hard waking up early. It’s an irony that the place we’ve come to visit, makes us want to sleep. Waking up at 5 in the morning and having a bath is arduous. BP hasn’t had a bath in the last 3 days. I’m sure he’s going to stay [...]

13th May, ‘08 - 0800 hours - It’s damn cold here. We are supposed to leave at 10, collect the inner line permits and then proceed to the monasteries. It was a pleasant walk in the morning. I walked up to the Polo ground where a cricket match was in progress - the reds against [...]

12th May, ‘08 - 0645 hours - It’s damn cold here. I’ve been lucky so far not to have caught a cold. A sore throat and a blocked nasal passage are all. Nothing serious. We’re leaving for Leh. I had kawah - the local tea. It’s nice. The bread is hard here. And hard means [...]

11th May, ‘08 - 0000 hours - This is the first time that I’m making an entry at 0000 hours of a day - a day that has just begun. GBS and Ms T are here, with two huge back-packs. I almost broke my arms carrying them up the stairs. My fears have come true. [...]
