LIGHT AND DARKNESS
Light and darkness cannot exist together, they cannot have a co-existence. Why can light and darkness not exist together? Because darkness has no substance in it, darkness has no existence in it. It is nothing but the absence of light, so how can absence and presence exist together? If light is there then absence cannot exist. If absence exists, light cannot be present there.
Awareness is a single solution to all problems.
I left my apartment at midnight. The room is empty. I put the big backpack in front of the small scooter in my bag. When I reached Sampath’s garage I left the scooter and pushed the key under the garage gate. I started walking towards the Ashram. Sampath gave me a number from a Rikshaw driver yesterday, but I have plenty of time before 01:10. He also wanted 400 rupees for the short drive. In the cow corner was a Rikshaw, the driver asked if I needed a ride. I agreed, and he dropped me at the Ashram.
There I checked my app and realised that I bought a ticket for the 21st and not for the 20th. Sometimes the app shows Next day, and that is what it means.
I checked the app for another bus, but they were all too late. So I stopped another Rikshaw for a ride to the old bus stand, another 250 rupees. There I just entered the local bus to Bangalore. The ticket was only 220 rupees. The ticket for the 21st I canceled, it will be refunded, nearly complete.
It took me 6 hours and 30 minutes to Bangalore. But the bus didn’t stop at Majestic, the big terminal, but somewhere. Just leaving the bus a Rikshaw driver showed up. He gave me a lift to the Majestic bus stand for 250 rupees. Reaching there I had some breakfast, Samosa with chili and something tasty which I don’t know what it was. I asked for the airport bus. The bus was nearby on the road. Inside I got a ticket for 290 rupees. Nearly 1 hour to drive then I reached the airport.
I was way too early here. So I sat down for a while having an Americano. I am waiting for the check-in to open.
After waiting for a while I could do my check-in. I went to the security where I passed easily this time (no more knives in my bag). The flight was on time and smooth. I had a middle seat, 11E. An Indian lady with her daughter approached me and asked if we could swap seats, so they could sit together. I would get a window seat, 28A. I agreed and was lucky, I was the only one in the row, and both other seats were empty. I must have slept for two hours then. When I woke up it was past 16:00.
We landed in time even before 17:00. I just claimed my baggage and went out to get a taxi. I paid 900 rupees for the taxi, I think it was a good deal. After 40 minutes more or less I reached the hotel. Here are narrow roads, difficult for a car. I checked in, sorted my stuff a bit, and left for some dinner. It is quite busy here, so many Restaurants and people. I found a small Indian Restaurant at the main road, was just eating and headed home again. Now I am resting.
