Contd

contd.....
Arruond 3pm they reached a dead end beyond which there was no road.But Ganesan was to recee that area only.Locals told that you have to go back for about 100km to reach that place by different rout.The same place can be reached by walking about 30 km further in this rout itself.Since this is the streach which is to be seen Ganesan decided to halt there itself.He further directed that himself and the surveyer will walk the 30km next day and the dvr will go back in the return rout and meet them at the destination.They prepared pack lunch for the next day ant slept early as they have to leave very early.The next day they got ready as planed and was about to leave after giving direction to the dvr. At that time Ganesan was terribly shocked to see another tyre of the jeep flat.The one which was punctured yester day was not yet repaired and now how to get this repaired in  that remote area.
   But the dvr was not at all worried.He politely told that has a new tube and foot pump and repair the tyre himself.He encouraged Ganesan to leave early as they have to walk up hill.Young Ganesan was very much disturbed to split the the team and how to get them together again.Leaving it to GOD, himself and the surveyer started along the foot path.All along the rout Kumaon Regt of the Infantry Ex service men were there.Though physically fit Ganesan was all the time worried about the dvr whether he will be able to find them.Walking up hill was very tyring and also time was running short. All along the rout plenty of orange trees were there and enjoying the hospitality of Ex service men they were walking.It was getting dark and they were walking along the  mighty Bageshwar river.It was pitch dark when they reached Sam and Ganesan was dead tired.There was no trace of the dvr.Ganesan told the surveyer that he could not stand and lyed down in the veranda like place of a closed shop.It was cold and he covered himself with the blanket he
was carrying and slept.
