I continued to go on occasional visits to the dry deciduous forests of my childhood in southern Rajasthan. That’s what made a friend in Mumbai suggest a camping trip to another friend’s piece of land by a nameless lake deep into the countryside. I was not entirely sure about camping, but was finally coaxed into it. Perhaps, that’s what draws some city dwellers to a few days of raw existence. You want to enjoy not just the camaraderie of friends but also the solitude; search for interstellar worlds in the night sky; explore not only what lies without, but also what lies within.
