In the morning, I took some medicine that I had kept with me and ate some fruit. I felt pretty down, after the struggles of getting to Multan and the bit of relief in finding people, regardless of the challenges ahead who were puppeteers, and now I wondered why I was in Umerkot. The people were incredible. They are the example of kindness and friendship. I was beyond honored to be in such wonderful company, but my problem was that I was running out of time to do work, in just searching for what I needed to do it.I rested for most of the day, then Sugarr sahib took me to the musicians. They were performing at the dargah of Sadiq Faqir that night. I didn’t think I had the energy to stay up late for the music, but I needed to at least see the mela in case there was a chance of meeting someone or seeing something that could be related to any traditional puppeteersSugarr sahib took me all the way out there. We watched some beautifully decorated horses racing. Afterwards, we walked through the mela or fair. There were rides and a sort of side show along with stalls filled with food and sweets as well as toys, but the toys were more mass produced, plastic toys, so no luck there.Afterwards, I caught a bus back into town, where Sugarr sahib’s brother was so kind to pick me up and take me back to where I was staying. I felt pretty defeated and wondered what I was doing. I planned to leave the next day, but some other visitors dropped by and asked me to stay for a dinner the next night. I agreed, as they were so kind to me.
