15th November 2017, Bazaar
The whole Cotton's college gang and anyone else who was awake at ANET went for a bird walk (I'm realizing most days have begun this way). By the time everyone was up and ready and full of chai, it was sunny and too hot for real birding. Akshay and I skedaddled by 7:15 am since we had some stuff to get done in town. Also, Akshay had to reach the bazaar in time to buy a ticket to Baratang. It was going to be a while before I'd see him again, so I tagged along even on menial tasks.
We managed to get a ticket and had a little time to kill until the bus was to leave, around 12:30. We had multiple coffees and he shared some wisdom about owning, riding and maintaining a scooter.
Even though there are a bunch of people at ANET even now, it felt pretty empty after he left. I guess that's the difference between small talk and real talk.
