Sorry for delay in posting.
We visited Laxminarayan temple once more in the morning to see the famous wall paintings in it before starting for Pune.
It was a longish drive (488 Km) to Indore and a really long drive (670 km) from Indore to Pune the next day. Driving through MP is always very enjoyable. We saw a big dust devil on the way. It was extending right up to high skies. For a change, I did not sleep at all during this drive :)
We had heard a lot about sweets in Indore so we decided to check it out. We had our dinner at Apana Sweets. Sweets were good but not like those we had in Kolkata but the Khichadi (simple dal-rice based Khichadi) was very good. I am sure that Dal Baphala also must have been good but it was finished by the time we reached there.
Drive from Indore to Pune was quite tiring. It took us 13 hours of mainly driving to reach Pune by 11:00 PM in night. Our long trip has finally come to an end. It will take some time before we get over the trip and get back to normal life :(

This is how we avoided buying bottled water on the trip!

I have seen the poverty in india as well as the harsh conditions many of us are living in. It seems like the max gdp is redistributed in the favour of the more fortunate alone. Yet, you can see that here in india, or perhaps anywhere in the world where there might be a scarcity, people don't need reasons to be happy. Perhaps its their only option, but yet I feel, that india is perhaps the most developed country in case of people happuness...
