The north-east work adventure – Guwahati

Day 19 – 9th March 2020

Woke up groggy with barely 4 hours of sleep, had breakfast and was on my way to the airforce station for final inspection by 930 am.

The streets were empty as it was the eve of Holi. We reached the airforce base within half hour.

Checked all the equipment, arranged for the water, and by the time Ankur came with the airforce guy, we were ready.

Inspection happened fairly quickly and we got done by 1.15pm. we packed our things and head for lunch at the airline mess.

We head out at 3pm, met Ankur at the camp site of the contractor very close to the airforce gate. He signed the docs, we paid the contractor for shifting of the compressor and diesel for the generator. In total 1800, but I paid him 2000, for his help in showing us to work on Sunday, getting the pass quickly and in general being helpful.

Sanjeev was celebrating Holi at some resort and he bid me to come there. I was to much on a zombie state to go anywhere.

Reached the hotel and slept till 630p.m.

Went for a walk, looking for good chai, and found it around the corner at a local restaurant.

Walked around for a little longer and head back to the hotel for another 30 mins

Spoke to Preeti back at the hotel and head out again as I was tired of eating roti/curry .

Back to the hotel, on an uber moto, with a plate of chocolate momos for dessert.

The taste was not great, but probably would have been good of I ate it while it was hot!

The key card to my room I lost on the way to the hotel, and had to shell out 500Rs for a new card!..

Slept at 1130pm , looking forward to Hasimara tomorrow!
