I’ve heard those words in Hindi on every trip as we needed to go – leave one place for another. Now it’s time for me to “chale” from the US back to India! It’s been more than two years since my last trip when I broke my leg in a motorcycle accident.
I had planned to return this past May, but just as everything was confirmed and the team was ready, war broke out between India and Pakistan. In fact, the Pakistani terrorist action that prompted the war took place very near where I was going in Kashmir. Because of this my trip was postponed.
Now, things have calmed down and our “postponed” trip is nearly ready to begin. I will leave for India in late September for approximately four weeks.
