The OG Boys Leaving

April 5th, 2011

With the restaurant all boarded up, it was time for the Olive Garden’s crew to head north to their home state, Himachal Pradesh. Manu would be flying to Delhi while the other guys were hopping on a marathon train journey (30 hours!).

Yes, hard to believe this is where I spent many hours over the last number of months:


The Olive Garden was my “Cheers”...a place where everybody knows your name, a second home to me here. It’s going to be a bit weird with everyone gone but thanks again for the good times!

Final group shot:

I thought I better make sure that they left so I escorted them:

Sanju giving a final wave:


Within a couple of days, the weather proofing of the huts began, first being wrapped in tarps and then dead palm fronds. It sure makes the place look a bit different.

Closed Classic Huts:


The season is definitely winding down here with more and more places closing, and less and less foreigners around. It starting to get pretty hot and humid too...but the rains haven’t started...yet...
