ROAD-TRIP THROUGH THE SOUL OF INDIA | KAIROS GLOBAL | JANUARY 2022

Author: PREJOMY JOSE

Friendship is a gift to be celebrated with gratitude. Jinto, Sinoj, Prejomy and Renoy took this idea to heart. Though each was busy with families, career and responsibilities, the longing for the warmth of their once cherished friendship could not be put aside. Finally, they decided to come together to celebrate. Travel was a passion that was common to them and when the desert beckoned, they chose Rajasthan as their final destination. 

Prejomy flew down from Abu Dhabi to Bangalore to meet his brother Renoy and his friend who arrived from Kerala. Together a jovial road trip stretched before them to meet their beloved friend, Jinto at Rajasthan.

They talked, they drove, they fought and they enjoyed themselves. A short break from the daily hustle and bustle of life was a refreshing experience for all. It was indeed the first time Prejomy had gone on a trip without his wife and their six children. Together the friends spent ample time talking, eating, sharing and appreciating each other. Beyond sightseeing, the ten days spent together in Rajasthan refreshed them anew. 

Though they have travelled a lot through the soul of India, the villages, they never missed their daily Holy Mass. It was a miracle that they could attend Holy Mass even at the most remote of places without impacting their travel plan. The warmth of friendship shared and the memories created will fuel their lives to spread the love, joy and fellowship of the greatest friend of all – Jesus.

An engineer by profession, Prejomy Jose works and lives in Abu Dhabi with his wife and 6 children.
