My Mom



Today my Mom left Pune. She left alone. Yes she left alone. This is the first time she is travelling alone. My dad always accompanied her till date. She is 52. At this age she is travelling alone. I am bit nervous and tense. Will she safe reach safely in Nagpur, which is 800Km away from Pune?

I had booked her Volvo ticket two days back, Today morning we all woked up early at 5.30am. We all(Myself,wife and Mom) performed Yoga in the morning. Then we had a good discussion about various topics, we had a tea. They my wife prepared lunch and we had it together. At 2.30pm we set off towared but stop. I purchased some hot chips for this which can be eatable during travelling.



She is now travilling in the Bus. There is a lady with her and they have shared their seat with each other. She was looking excited when bus starts and I moved my hand saying bye bye to her. I know she is expert in hiding her emotions, I know she is scaring from inside because she is travelling for the first time at the age of 52. I am praying to God that he should help her to land the bus safely in Nagpur tomorrow morning.

But there is one more man who is more tense than me, and he is my Dad. He is waiting for her in Nagpur. Yes he spent full one months alone in Nagpur and I am the responsible person for this seperation. They never lived their life without each other. Bye the way.........I am hopeful that but will reach safely in the Nagpur tomorrow, becuase now a days private bus services are improved with good guality of service. They have huge invenstments in private sector and hence proving good facility to the customers.

When I entered into the bus today, I found the furniture was well cleaned and it was nicely decorated,I mean clean curtains, clean bedsheets and it is a sleeper coach thus proving good environment to the travellers.Though they are not providing any food and other stuff, I believe they drive slowly with great care.

Pune to Nagpur(INDIA) is 17 hours journey. Roads are really good and you will absolutely feel comfortable (excluding certain stretches of road during journey.)
So I am hopeful that my Mom's first journey will be safe and fine and she will reach to the destination safely.

With these words I am completing my writing here....
Have a nice day ahead.
