Setting up camp at Sarati, July 20, 2007
Some deft assembly....and we're all set...to serve!
...the show has started...and there are smiles all around...
....the first few...hundreds...are already queuing up
"Mauli!....I can hear a bhajan!"
The IV League
"....that feels better already!".
"....ummm...let me think of something pleasant!"
One of the many palkis that passed by the Camp that day.
Dr Vishwas Sapatnekar....at work...as always.
Gujar mama taking a moment off from all the action.
Even the most indefatigable of Campers can do with a moment of repose....Vinay Naphade in the tent.
Dr Joshi too busy to even look up!
"A shot and a dose...at the Camp...and I'm ready to resume my pilgrimage!"
Dr Joshi advising some waarkaris.
Chief of Liniment Dispensing....Vishwas Patwardhan
Some special characters....
Some special characters....taking a call while on IV
..at the Guru Mauli Ashram....Dr Vidya Sapatnekar and Gujar Kaka
...the Camp studs....smiling for the camera at Guru Mauli Ashram
Setting up Camp near Malshiras....July 21, 2007
Like the day before....some deft assembly....
...and pipes begin to look like tents...
....the tarpaulins are out....
....the covers dropped into place...
....and we're ready to welcome the early maulis....!
From ouch! to aahh! in two minutes via the magical (and hugely popular) liniment....
....and the queuing goes on...
"...a broken arm?"....Never fear when Dr Sapatnekar is here!
"I thought I'll announce my arrival suitably....!"
"Here let me try THIS as well....!"
For once Dr Sapatnekar blowing his trumpet...
"Vishwas let me see how you do this", Dr Joshi seems to say...
"A dentist?". "We have one....Dr Sapatnekar!".
"Just take all of them damn teeth out once and for all...!"
"....31...32..."
...and they keep coming....and keep getting served...
More where the rest have gone....teeth that is.
"Minor surgery?". No problem. "Dr Sapatnekar!".
....some special characters...
.....very special characters....
The Camp from the farmland behind....
Mauli's palki made a special stop at the Camp
.....a time to unwind....towards the end of the Camp
"What do you say? We had a good time...or we had a good time??!"
.....the thrill of a day well spent!
Last task....Burning all the litter from the Camp.
