Timely message

I was in Dandeli forest with family. We checked into the guest house, had a nice lunch and took some rest. In the evening we got out to see the surroundings and what awesome scene it was! Thick jungles all around and sounds of many birds.

Unfortunately there was no mobile connection and we had to make some important calls. The care taker told that there was a tower  about fifteen minutes walk away and there we would get the connection. There was still some time for dinner and we thought of making the calls before dinner. All of us walked towards the tower. It was quite dark and we used the mobile light to see the path.

My husband switched off the mobile and said the whole road was better visible in the moon light. Suddenly some thing clicked inside me. I told ‘Let’s go back. We will take the car and go to the tower’.  First they told, ‘Its ok, let’s walk’. But the message that I got was strong and I insisted that we go back. So all of us went back to the guest house. The care taker who was at the gate told,’ Sir you should not go walking in the dark. Many wild animals come from the surrounding jungles into the road. Even black panther has been spotted recently’. We thanked our stars and the care taker for the warning.
