Chapter 7: New Experiences Everyone was exhausted. The village head, Sarpanch, showed everyone to their rooms. Dr. Sanket and Dr. Yash's families were given separate rooms. The rest of the men were accommodated in a large hall, while the girls were given a separate room. The Sarpanch had prepared a traditional village meal. Everyone ate heartily and was satisfied. After dinner, everyone sat on the porch of the Sarpanch's mansion. The Sarpanch offered them betel leaves to chew. After a while, he briefly talked about the plan for the next day's expedition. The group discussed the journey.
