Night with the Stars

The last time I felt similar going to sleep was the night I was lying at beach in Dhanushkodi (tip of rameshwaram).
Today is the other day where I am in the middle of nowhere, at a school called Pathshala, situated away from chengelpet.
Dry toilets (do look this up in case you have not heard of it!), solar cooker, a micro wind turbine spinning in force, and solar outdoor lights to keep us company.
Darkness seems so dark, as there is no other light till eyes can see. The only bright object is the solar outdoor lights.
Agreeing to make the most, sam and I have chosen to give up the comfort of the room.
The cool winds blowing into my right ear. Listen a bit more carefully, and u can hear the gentle whistling of the wind, running through the shrubs under the granite slab (my cot for the night)
Sleeping under the open sky and gazing at the starts is beautiful and peaceful. A site that is available to all, only if you look.
I will miss this openness while I am at another lodge tomo night!
