As twilight approached the scene became more intense – a dull bluish grey light engulfed the surrounding and there were small fires in many fields. Their smoke hung low in the air like a parasol. I took a seat on a milestone and watched for few minutes. There was something strange about this twilight – it just refused to go away and hung with me like a companion.

Dipesh, Eric & self set out from Delhi yesterday at about 1500 hrs for Srinagar. The total distance is around 900 km. The NH 1 is in excellent condition enabling us to cover a good stretch in little time. At Panipat we encountered heavy police presence because of Gujjar demonstrations.
We had dinner in Jallundher at a swanky mall. with too many kids milling around, made us a little wary of the prospects of earning a peaceful meal.
The road from jullendher onwards was bad; we had a rough bumpy ride. We had to perforce switch lanes as some serious road repair work is currently underway.
Reached Pathankot at 0130. Checked into a nice hotel and went to sleep.
Essentially a cinematographer, but do love to write sometimes about my travels and film experiences.
