Teacher in the form of stranger - Part 2

Not to rush all the questions, I smiled and we walked on, for quite some time.

Then the love for puppy pushed me to ask him “ How much does the puppy cost??”

He replied “I do not sell my puppies, I only find good hands to

take care of them, well her new home will be a new yoga centre

being built on the top of a waterfall, the owner is a friend of mine,

I work for them.”

With every word of his, thoughts cleared and became a piece of

information, it was a sigh of relief to
get out of so many thoughts answered. I asked him if I could hold

the puppy for a while and with his nod,
I held the puppy and walked on towards its new home.

Then he said “ First, will take her to the waterfalls, get her blessings of the waterfalls, let her smell her new home and it's surroundings. She will live here, her entire life”

Now listening to the calm and composed man who talk felt like a cryptic code in a puzzle,

I asked, “What do you do?”

He replied “I am helping the yoga centre being set up with horticulture”

My thoughts rolled upon. “Where are you from?”

He answered “I am from Darjeeling”

Deep inside I wanted to know more about this person, but it's easy to offend a person walking an uphill in a forest with questions. So a moment of silence followed enjoying the view around.
He carried a stone with him and was turning out to be weird and interesting,
tethering the Sherlock in me.
