But why speak of such things any more? Why not let the lovely wet wind blow away such thoughts? You have to see the peepul tree outside. Its leaves are silver now in the rainy wet light. It seems that this pre-monsoon rain has come from God. It has come to bless me before I start my work on fixing Bobby. Now that my in-laws are gone, I have to start my work immediately.

My in-laws left the day before yesterday. Our neighbour’s son Kamal works in a travel agency that has contacts at the RPO, so we had no problems in making their passports. Kamal is a good person to know. One day I will also have to get a passport to go abroad. I will travel in a plane. Maybe I will go to Dubai to meet my husband. But then he says that it hardly feels like a foreign place. He says that even though there are some white people here and there, it actually just feels like some fancier type of India, an India that has been cleaned up nicely. And, obviously, it also does not snow there. So, what is the use in spending such a lot of money to go to such a place? Instead of Dubai, maybe we should go to Switzerland. Or maybe we should wait a little bit more, until Bobby is happily settled in America or England, and go to meet our son. Yes, we will go to meet our son in America or England, we will go to meet our son and his family, and Bobby will bring our grandchildren to the airport to pick us up, and then he will drive us back to his beautiful house in his big SUV, and our daughter-in-law will have a hot and tasty meal prepared for us after our long plane journey, and after we have eaten, after we have sat down and eaten and exchanged all the news, after that I will go out into Bobby’s garden and play with my grandchildren in the snow.

Yes, that is where we will go. But before Bobby’s parents can make that journey, Bobby has to make another type of journey first. Maybe it will be a little bit long and a little bit difficult, but with his mother by his side he will, by God’s grace, surely make it.
