I was surprise when at 7:45 the car had not yet arrived for my ride to the airport. I gave Haresh a call and he said there had been a mix up with the car service and that the driver was on his way now. Haresh is the most organized of people so it’s unusual when his plans don’t go off like clockwork.
When the car, driver (not Vinod) and Haresh arrived I found the reason for the early morning confusion. Haresh’s brother-in-law (his wife’s sister’s husband) had passed away the night before. It was a sudden and unexpected death. Haresh had been up all night working on funeral arrangements with his family in Mumbai.
It is typically of the extreme care that everyone here has taken with us that despite this wrenching personal situation Haresh managed to spare a great deal of concern for me. He was worried about sending me alone from Mumbai to Pune while he stayed in Mumbai with his family. These folks set a high bar for hospitality.
