NEXT DAY 

ANMISHA POV :

My day in kaashi is really good. I woke up with the sound of lord shiva songs which are from a nearby temple. As i turned to the other side i saw my cute yet annoying boy who is stirring in his sleep . I went towards the window and opened the curtains and saw woman who are drawing kolam's infront  of their houses , plucking flowers for pooja and some are reeling the bobbins for making handloom clothes as this place is very famous spiritually and also because of handloom silk saree's.  

advaith : good morning!

Me : good morning !

Advaith : what's the time ?

Me : 3.00am. We have to get ready by 4.00am

Advaith : ok ! 

Then we got ready and checked all those necessary items which we are going to carry with us .then we heard a knock on our door. It must be subramaniam sir and his assistant. Yeah it's them. Then they came inside.

Dr.subramaniam : so are you ready ?

Advaith , me : yes sir !

Dr.subramaniam : when we reach there don't speak anything unnecessarily. Especially i am saying to you anmisha . I'll handle them . They are very sensitive. They will accept us only if they find us reasonable. Nod your heads when i say something.

Me : ok sir !

Then we all went  to  the temple and prayed the god and then started our journey to vaidyaranyah. 

Dr.subramaniam : so ! what we are supposed to do there , did you make a list anmisha ?

Me : yes sir ! 

1) we should get the transposons activating medicinal plant ( special type of licorice root ).

2) we should get the formula for making that kashayam (potion ) which is used by them for regrowth of tissue .

3) we should know about that himalayan tribes who came here because of the influence of that special homosapien shiva raj . 

4) we should know what happened jagadeeshwari.

Dr.subramaniam : good. But we have an another task . But i will tell you guy's afterwards. But please don't poke your nose into anything. 

Me : ok sir !

Why this old man is getting on my nerves . But i have to stay calm as he is the only hope. After some hours we reached the forest. Then he got down first and told us to wait. As he walked towards the people who are sitting there in the outskirts. They smiled at him as if he is their long lost relative . People he are not like what everyone expects a tribal group to be. These people here are nothing less than ayurvedic doctors of cities who have post graduation degrees. Here in the forest naturally they learn how to treat illness. People here are strong believers of lord shiva . People here are vegetarians and they won't harm any animals until or unless they come to their living place. 

I don't know why but i got a serene feeling as soon as i reached this forest . The breeze that i am getting from a gulmohar tree is so soothing. I looked at the creature who is snooring . It's none other than advaith . I shook him and he woke up. 

Advaith : what we reached the place .

Me : yes my dear sleeping beauty.

Advaith : don't call me that. Why we aren't going out ?

Me : we need permission for staying with them . We are not here for sightseeing.

Advaith : aa yeah !

Me : don't use your mobile phone unnecessarily.  Don't speak loudly. And be clean.
