NH 66, Near Udupi, Karnataka
I was driving to Gokarna when I stopped to watch the sunset.
While admiring the view, saw this man walking alone in the opposite direction from people. Perhaps he was one of ‘us’ stopping by to enjoy the peaceful walk on immaculate beach or maybe he was a regular visitor. I felt a connection as I was travelling alone for the first time in my life in a strange beautiful land, the sea represented the vastness that needs to be experienced and the man - me, walking away from the people in my life again and again. It was beautiful and wonderful day, took a detour from the highway because of Google Maps and had to take the last ferry across the ocean because it was “shorter route”.
