Dear Mahendrabhai,
I was silent for a long long time
— intentionally, for I had nothing to offer, to exchange. I had to let my
conscience go to sleep, under the spell of the modern scheme of education. But
I cannot let my conscience sleep indefinitely, now that the examinations are
over. Few remnants (practicals) are still to be dealt with. But I have the
solace of handling them for the last time. From the beginning I had known it
would be hard for me. But I had to be able to earn Rs. 250/-
p.m.
People like us, do not go about
this world aimlessly. They simply cannot, or we would not have so many, so very
dear to heart.
I have planned to go around the
Globe. For years, the lofty snow-clad peaks of the White-Tower and the
innumerable beautiful things of this long & broad World, are calling me. I
would have been a Vagabond since long, had not the family-responsibilities
demanded the sacrifice of a portion of my life. But I am sure, the lure of the
wild and the call of the endless firmament above, would some day become
irresistible and break all my bandages. This is a vision. I could not think of
a Greater one, or more sublime. I know the insignificance of 5'-6" of me
in the scheme of the Universe, but my profound Love for this vision is a part
and parcel of the force responsible for the creation of the starry Universe.
Now I am proud & happy to
have something which is my worth. I think I will be able to set out within 3
years. One very close friend has hitched his wagon to mine.
I am here upto May. Most
probably, I will then go to Vadia. But I want you to write to me before at the
address on the back.
with love Hemendra
