“Every time both of them start walking, I get scared,” says Grand Meister. “They’ll come back and say they now want that dune – all the way over there.”
“Sure, sure,” says Deputy H. “Then that dune. And then those trees. We’ll put up a stage on the Pakistan border also.”
Grand Meister laughs. “And we’ll put giant alphabets spelling Ragasthan on those windmills.”
We have been scurrying over the dunes like beetles in heat. It’s been a couple of hours already and the sun is taking a dive. We sit down for a break as well.
Batman and Kaptaan were right here. We were discussing how this dune could be used. Batman asked what this slope could be called. Then they were down the slope and suddenly they were a couple hundred feet away. Five more minutes and they were specks on the horizon.
"Look," says Sheriff. "Vasco da Gama and Columbus."
Vasco da Gama and Columbus have gone looking for Ujalo, the film tent.
We’ve been through this quest before. Yesterday, Kaptaan led us into the dunes at around the same time. “Let’s go find Ammara,” he had said. And we had followed like thirsty travellers looking for an oasis.
But locations have still not been marked on the dunes. There’s too much to take into account.
You need enough space between stages so that sound doesn’t travel between them. But even small distances grow larger on the undulating dunes. There’s going to be a lot of walking required.
Toilets need to be placed close enough to the bars and stages on the dunes. But toilets can only be built on solid ground. There’s some solid ground in patches within the dunes. But how do you get water to them?
More maps are scribbled on sand. The Morio stage is now trading places with Olun. Again. Ammara is locked. Batman and Kaptaan return to tell us that Udham and Ujalo have been found.
“And we’re thinking of putting giant alphabets on the windmills,” says Deputy H.
“Hmm,” says Batman and turns eager eyes to the horizon.
“What? No, no,” he sputters. “We’re just joking!”
“Sure, sure,” says Deputy H. “Then that dune. And then those trees. We’ll put up a stage on the Pakistan border also.”
