As
we all stared at the carvings on the walls of the ancient temple, trying to
make sense of them, Kush effortlessly deciphered them for us, meticulously
explaining what each panel depicted. He had an answer to every question any of
us threw at him, whether it pertained to Rahul and Craig’s curiosity about Hindu
mythology, Ritesh’s interest in architecture, or Khushboo and Ashley’s passion
for understanding human behavior, culture and society. He was even able to
provide snippets of information on how best to take pictures of the ancient
ruins to ensure that Varun gets the best photographs. Kush Dhebar never failed
to amaze us with his tremendous knowledge of just about everything on our short
holiday to the historic town of Hampi, not to mention entertaining us with
anecdotes of his previous excavations at different sites, much to the envy of
outdoorsy Sagar!
