It was when I was already at Dadahu that I realized what I had set myself up for. Even worse, I had not called up the hotel and let them know I was coming.
Sitting in the bus then I began frantically to look for their number while willing the Internet signal to stay strong enough for this most essential of searches.
Head down, I was staring at my phone when someone tapped at my window. it was the bus conductor.
'quick,grab your bag and follow me' he said. 'I found you a bus that will take you to your hotel.'
Not only did he take me to the bus, but he also handed me over like a registered parcel to a group of men and instructed them to make sure I got down at the right place.
These guys instantly took me under their wing. They gave me a seat and fussed around me. When I pulled out cash for the ticket, they told me on behalf of the conductor,' you hold on to your money. He won't charge you for such a short distance'.
At my stop, I got help with my bag and many good wishes.
And the next morning, I met the kindest truck driver ever. But that is another story.

An important parcel- registered and dear.
You make the journey to their villages, understand their lives, and then, bring their stories to the world. They respect you.
We need a photograph though. Of Dadahu.
(Just wanted to write and say the word again- Dadahu)
Angels are everywhere!
