It was soon time to move on, I had bought a plane ticket to Kochin - on the West coast of India. Kim didn’t want to spend the money and so she had bought a train ticket and I would meet up with her there. She was leaving the night before to embark on the 16 Hour journey and said she would scout around for a room once there. I decided to go up to the rooftop for my last evening in Chennai and arrived to a musical welcome as Peter was playing a guitar duet with an Indian boy he had met by chance on the street that day. I was surprised to find there was a video team filming the evening’s events. Lindsay had been sitting watching Peter play, and after a few minutes of my arrival she noticed me and came to say hello. She looked absolutely beautiful tonight as she walked towards me. I was drawn to her sexy, care free personality that radiated warmth and excitement. I loved the talks we had over the last few days and was getting more and more drawn towards her with each passing minute, I soon found myself staring into her eyes hanging on every word.
It turned out John, the Canadian guy we had met on the way to Havelock, had hired the film crew for six hours that evening but had mysteriously disappeared and the film crew had no idea what they were supposed to be filming. As Lindsay was describing her day’s events to me two pizza delivery men arrived through the door onto the rooftop holding two pizzas, some garlic bread and two bottles of coke - my staple diet of recent. It turned out that John had ordered them, but wasn’t around to pay for them so after some confusion Lindsay left my side and ran down to her room to grab some money. Even before she had returned everyone was tucking in to the pizzas and the evening turned into a feast of music and food.
A long while later after the pizzas were finished, and the music was over John returned to the rooftop and simply said he had been for a walk. A very bizarre time to go for a walk, and walk in weird places he did - He was a man that has no fear of heights and often jumped from one rooftop to another instead of spending time using conventional means - stairs.
The evening wore on and my body became tired as I still wasn’t 100% yet – and wouldn’t be for some time. I had planned to meet Sasha and Peter tomorrow for a farewell breakfast in the Maharaja hotel. When I arrived at the hotel the next morning the two of them were sitting in a small eating booth chatting and within a few minutes the three of us were engaged in deep conversation about life and the ways of the world. We spoke about Vipassina meditation, a course I would take when I arrived back in the U.K. The food was good and the conversation was better, it was a perfect farewell to two people I had connected with on this life changing journey.
