I always say that sometimes, you might face thousand problems, struggle for every single thing while traveling but then few days are such when everything works for you. It feels like nothing can go wrong on the day.
Few days ago it happened again. It was a day when everything worked. Hitchhiking, meeting strangers in a beautiful village, getting invited for lunch and then our host offered us to take for a small hike.
It felt like nothing can go wrong. You stepped out walk few meters and got the lift. Every single time. Only thing that was left for us was, letting things happen and just enjoy it.
And that's what we did. Enjoyed this day to the fullest...

Day 4:
Today 840 people were served food. All is going well. I made a video call to the people working there on the ground. I don't understand Bangla they don't understand Hindi. आंखों आंखों में ही बात हुई बस 😜. They were happy.
Good thing is, a team contacted and they're coming tomorrow with cooked food for approx 1000 people. So tomm the kitchen will be off.
Expenses so far is, Rs. 26785. Total 27K have been forwarded to the team. 3K has been given to another team headed by a BATIan in Puri. So altogether we have spent 30K.
That's it for the day.
