So this story
started when I was in the seventh standard! In Geography we had just about
begun learning about the Indian terrains – different types of mountains,
plains, oceans etc.. Yeah! India has it all. I was both, fascinated and afraid
of the deserts. Yet, I did want to see the Thar Desert. My interest was fuelled
by the stories of Alladin, Arabian nights etc. The desert, camel, oasis, no
water, no vegetation etc… was very mysterious to me. Somewhere in the rut of life
I forgot all of this.
