The city of Tashkent had grown dear to the team in the short stint of their stay there. It had given them memories to reminiscence and cherish for the rest of their. The day began with a laid back morning at the hotel. 

They were invited for lunch at the Miran International Hotel by this benevolent gentleman, Mr. Ganesh M.V.  They also completed the ceremony of getting a green sticker on our car along with Mr.Suresh Kumar (Consul, Indian Embassy of Tashkent) and his gentle wife Mini.

Chorsu Bazaar is the traditional bazaar located in the center of the old town of Tashkent. Under this blue-color domed building, all daily necessities are sold. Fruits, meats, vegetables, plastics, home essentials, spices, dry fruits and everything else a person needs is sold in this beautiful bazaar that is always filled with life. The team walked around for a while savoring the sights ,smells and soul of this city .

The next stop was at Kasht Imam where the Madrasa is located. Handicrafts and souvenirs were purchased. After this they headed to Consul Suresh’s house where they have been residents for the past 2 days.

They family has showered us with so much love and warmth. Dinner consisted of delicious brinjal puli kulambu and curd rice.

As the day ended they had full stomachs and fuller hearts, Mr.Suresh and Mini had showered them with enough love that the team felt home in a land absolutely unfamiliar to them.
