“To those whom I didn’t have a chance to say good bye, I’d say KIA KAHA AMIGOS”
– Alexandre Amaral in his debut documentary made with a smartphone about the pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
And at Jungle Mei Mangal, we couldn’t agree more. Saying good byes has never been easy. Whether in context of Alex saying it in Camino or the time he had to leave Delhi in the unexpected turn of events due to arrival time of coronavirus. The travel VISAs were announced to be closed, it was clear that inbound travellers would be held back for uncertain period, if they were not to return immediately. We never got a chance to even meet, so we bid adieu on phone. It was after a couple of months of stay here. We found Alex very disciplined, energetic and friendly.
