Muha on the rocks

Muha materialised at the "Track", or Male's swimming area, today for a last dip before heading off to the Himalaya. He leaves late tonight on a rather long flight to Kathmandu, via Dubai and Dhaka, to attend the screening of Himalayan Dreams at KIMFF 2006. He didn't swim much, just climbed the four-legged concrete blocks which serve as Male's seawall and sat there looking at the sea and thinking whatever it is that he thinks when he sits there. Yasir and Ayya, under Zunej's instructions, were practising their swimming drills but got out soon after sunset to see a Leonardo Di Caprio film! But Yasir said it also starred Jack Nicholsen, who bears an uncanny resemblance to him. Then Sharif arrived there and said he'd seen the film too but only because it was a Martin Scorsese film.

In any case Muha is looking forward to going to Nepal. He said the night-time temperatures dipped to 2 degrees celcius.

It was a beautiful sunset today, great clolours. But I couldn't wondering how it would feel, looking at the sunset and the moon up in the mountains in the chill of the evening.
