335: Visit to Sanchi…to see the real Sanchi stupas!

Picked up a special visitor from the airport…at 8.30 and tagged on to him all day long! Drove with his entourage to Sanchi…where K and her parents met us. Was really amazed that they were so open and broadminded! In fact, it was the best gesture they could ever do. We wandered all over the hillside, exploring the centuries old stupas, while K became the unofficial guide of the entourage.

After a quick visit to the museum, we went to the Gateway Retreat for coffee, hosted by K’s dad. He was so charming, that the special visitor was absolutely bowled over. A beautiful memento is silver was handed over by K’s family to the special visitor. We discussed K’s family and their hospitality all the way back to Bhopal! Luncheon was at my place…and it was an uproarious affair…with people propped up everywhere…even on the gym equipment!
