Deputy V and Deputy N have been missing in action. But they are finally here again. They had been in Jodhpur for five days sourcing equipment and materials for pretty much the whole festival. They would check out at nine in the morning every day, hoping to wrap up and leave for Jaisalmer. But every night, they would have to check back in.
“Arre, it was so embarrassing,” laughs Deputy V.
“Wahan toh dukan-wale bhi pehchaan-ne lage apne ko,” says Deputy N.
They are a welcome sight. They have been sorely missed. Especially when the sun bites and the shade looks like heaven and you need all eyes on the field.
“Woh log hote, na, toh yeh sab kaam aaraam se sambhal lete,” said Deputy S one day.
I doffed my hat at the fire in the sky and agreed. So did Deputy H. “Woh to akela hi poora ek team hai,” he said about Deputy V.
And now Deputy H himself is missing in action. At this time, it is exactly three days to the festival. And he has gone back to Delhi. We suspect it’s because he doesn’t want to miss the Diwali goodies at home.
We hope he gets back some at least.
