12/27 Very Population Part II

Around midnight we stop and the movie stops.  It seems that half the population of Jharkhand boards.  They pack so many young men and women, babies, and old men and women into the bus that they are literally standing on the arm rests.  Siddarth and Mitali had suggested that I buy two seat tickets for this very reason.  I had a moment of really ugly guilt but my conductor said I was not allowed to give up my seat. After the movie, we all tried to sleep.  Two hours in I was basically a pillow with someone at my feet, on my lap and at my head.  Given that it was really cold and there was no conventional heater, the extra bodies were a blessing in disguise;).  I really couldn't sleep though.  So by the time I reached my destination, I was really ready to be in the sanctity of the project.  Bhola got me some hot tea - I didn't realize how cold I was. and within two hours we were back.  A little alu and I hit the sack. I woke up in the afternoon.  Even though I have only been here under a month, it just felt so comforting to be back;)
