Solution
Once I happened to pass through the deserts of Rajasthan. No vehicle like motor car could take me through the desert and so I had to accept the offer of a camel ride. It was my first chance to ride a camel. In the beginning, it was a little difficult but I got used to it.
We started in the evening because the camel-man told me that during the day the dust storm may become unbearable. He also asked me to fill my bottle with water because for the next six hours, I could not expect to get any water. So equipped with water and other necessary things, I rode the camel determined to cross the small part of the desert and reach the other side to a village. On the way, I saw many duns. Fortunately, the weather remained fine and the night seemed extremely beautiful. Nothing untoward happened on the way and I reached the village before it was dawn.
