Ada sebuah cuplikan menarik dari film jadul tapi keren, judulnya: Le Grande Voyage atau Rihlahu Akbar. Sebuah perjalan haji dari negara Prancis via darat. Film ini pula yang menginspirasiku untuk menunaikan haji via darat, semoga, Aamiiin..

When i was child, my father–God rest his soul- set out on a mule. I’ll never forget that day. He was a courageous man.
Every day, i’d climb to the top of a hill from where i could see the horizon. I wanted to be the first to see him come home. I would stay up there until nightfall. sometimes, i would even fall asleep up there, until your grandmother came looking for me.”
Hai, diri! Engkaukah courageous man lainnya?
