More than usual


We team up in smaller groups.
We achieve more than the usual.

Grand Meister makes a trip to the city with Young Zuzu. Most of his work involves doing that. He comes back later in the evening, with news so exciting it makes our heart skip a beat.
Thanks to him, we now have the necessary permissions to fly hot air balloons at the festival. Only as high as 400 metres, though. Anything beyond that might be a security hazard.

Deputy V and Deputy N make a trip to Jodhpur. They stay back for the night. They are expected to purchase and place orders for a whole lot of things. Like deep freezers, luggage trunks, jute baskets and power generators.



The staff toilets are finally here, a day too late perhaps but that doesn't change the fact that they are here now. Big Tony has earned back his brownie points. He looks a relieved man.
His men ground the framework first and then move to installing utilities. They work the whole night to make sure no more bushes are crapped on.


Gajju Bana and his men sweat blood and fire in the ravaging sun. They work diligently and as a unit. His swiss tents will be up and ready in no time. Batman is sure of it. I just hope they look as breathtaking as I think they do.

Two men from Jaipur visit the site at lunch. They represent the design team that has been hired to take care of most installations. A quick tour and they are on board. They look confident. It is reassuring to finally have a team that gets our vibe.

Batman and Kaptaan sit down with Sheriff and the deputies. There’s still some leveling and plotting to take care of.



Mails are exchanged. Phone calls are made. Every minute, there’s a new problem. Solutions are thought of and implemented then and there.

The night settles into a slumber. It has been a productive day.
Smaller groups achieved much more than the usual.
