might is right on the indian roads.

Pushkar, 28-02-1995. Pushkar is one of these many holy cities in India, A jewel of exquisite beauty in the colorfull state of Rajastan. Leaving red haired Rona from far away Scotland to do her Vipassa meditattion course in Jaipur for the next couple of days, I set out alone this morning for Pushkar where at Hotel Surya - Surya being the sun god in hindu mythology - I got a huge room for only 40 Rp. The short distance from Jaipur to Ajmer offered me the sight of 4 busses tipped over on the side of the road, their drivers sleeping peacefully in the shade of their busses, waiting for help no doubt. I presume the passengers of those busses must have decided to walk the rest of the way since they were nowhere to be seen. Plus the sight of what looked like a major accident between two trucks. Might is right on the indian roads and trucks are the mightiest!!!
