i could hear baba whispering some words and he held my hand tightly and told me we can do it , we can pass the wind , i was scared when the wind blew towards us but all we did was lay flat on the ground and it flogged past us , we lived , i rejoiced , my thin body tried to make a move when i noticed a number of lacerations on babas skin , he had used himself as a shield to protect me , as i saw it i wept bitterly , even as a young child , i believed me and baba should almost weigh same so i wondered why he did that .
