The Madras to Jaipur train was 4 hours late last night. It was meant to leave platform 2 at 9.15pm. Instead it left when half of the 450 or so travellers with all their wears were fast asleep. Lots of the others were watching the bad quality film on the very loud televisions, or drinking tea talking and looking admiringly at the Palace on Wheels train, that had pulled in to platform 3. Myself and Manoj were accompanying two English girls off to Jodhpur. We had got chatting to them earlier and thought it best to make sure they had no problems at the station.
This small episode was a real pleasure. The train stations in India are alway buisy places and drinking tea whilst watching all the people is really quite enjoyable.
I contacted Prasad. We will leave for the villages tomorrow to visit our latest employees. I am very much looking forward to this to get back on track. I'm feeling a little lazy, today was a slow business day, not much to do. I took the oppurtunity to take a dutch girl on a mini tour of the city. Her company was exellent, even when I insisted on searching out the best places to make business cards and stamps.
I look forward to a very original and fulfilling day tomorrow.
Good night England
