With Kellie Rickell

Part 1-Delhi-Calicut-Wayanad!

The last couple of weeks I have meeting a lot of wonderful people. That's a bonus of being an accommodation provider!!! Indian Untravelled a non-profit organization based in delhi have been sending really fascinating people to my homestay, and this time it was Kelly Rickell a solo traveler from UK.

 My knowledge on Kellies travel plans were minimum other than Shivya  had passed on to me. She would be flying down to Calicut and then will be heading to Wayanad. That afternoon around 1:30 i received a text message from Kellie saying that she had touched down at Calicut and will be heading to the Bus station by taxi. An hour later another text message flashed on my mobile-I have boarded the bus; How long will it take from the bus station to your place? 15 minutes- my reply was immediate

Until Kellies next text came in I didn't realize I had totally misguided Kellie. "It's 20 minutes now why am i not reaching your place." Oof i realized Kellie was in a bit trouble. What a way to welcome a lady travelling alone!! Immediately i rang up Kellie. Hi-Kellie replied in a very welcoming tone. When I told her that bus will take 2 hours to reach Meenangadi in Wayanad and my place is 15 minutes from Meenagadi bus station, Kellie giggled and in an approving tone she said - That makes sense!!     (To be continued....)

Musings...

Throughout my  life I’ve been getting up and combating against  the odds. Every time the evil clutches of destiny pulled me down I have been lifted by that omnipotent and omnipresent force-What do I call it? Guru, God, Divine, Almighty. ..After all what is there in a name .  The reminiscences of these fight against odds prompted me to come up with this title for the blog- Get Up and Go.

Well it doesn’t mean that I will be penning down just drab and melancholic posts.  Vivid memories, incidents and occasions have always ornamented this journey.  A significant part of my life has been with a great being who gave a new direction to my life.  My GURU.  I adore and surrender to the Divine lotus feet of my beloved Master. So Guru and the path might consume a major chunk of my posts.

For the last of couple of years my profession has compelled me to stick to the rules of writing. Here i will be  flouting the rules of writing. Honestly, this  was the sinister purpose of starting this blog.

So let us toy with the idea of musing on everything under the sky. Life, death, friends, foes, spirituality, materialism, communism, fanaticism, narcissism, tourism. obsession, ego, …never ending list!!
