Final Day

The fact that we would return later in the evening made it difficult to wake up in the morning. Over some amazing bread from the local bakery for breakfast we made plans to take a walk and visit the vermicultre pit which is used to recycle organic waste.

The pit is made of 5 compartments. Each one has the compost which is in a different stage of development. Once the compartment is filled with the waste, there are special earthworms which are mixed along with the waste and covered with dry grass or hay and left for a long time. The resulting mixture is used as manure for agricultural purposes.

We got back home for the afternoon puja & aarti which was follwed by lunch. We then got down to packing our stuff and readied ourselves to leave for the station.

Fortunately the train was ontime and we were upgraded from 3rd AC to 2nd AC due to overbooking. We had some good dinner on the train. Though we got side berths in 2nd AC, it was less noisier than 3rd AC but the AC was quite low. It got a bit better as the night wore on.

We reached Kalyan at 5:15 in the morning and were home by 6. I started for work at 8:30 and was dreading the fact of having to go through 500 odd emails.

Why is that you want a holiday just when you finshed one?
