Dhondy Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Ace!:haha: Reminded me of the few times I travelled from Mughalsarai to Patna across the Ganges in a "tempo" with nothing more than a weak diesel engine to carry some 15 people stuffed like sardines in the back, across a very, very dusty and potholed road. The bloody thing made more noise than it moved.
Lurker Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Hilarious! That lungi touch at the pillion was a masterstroke :haha: Dhondy, Patna to Mughalsarai? Thats like 200 km man, maybe even more no?
Dhondy Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Sorry Lurker, dementia creeping in! It was Mughalsarai to Varanasi.:embaressed_smile:
Dhondy Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I once crossed the Ganges on a boat from Benares to catch Shramjeevi express from Mughalsarai, only to find out later that the bloody train stopped at Benares as well!:sad_smile:
