Sleep deprivation . . .
So scared to sleep, I don't know why. Firstly I was worried about getting bitten so I put my net on me. Secondly every 20mins I'm up and down to the loo even though I refuse to drink anything during the night. Thirdly I wake up with numb body parts. Fourthly I slaver so that wakes me up. Fifthly I just can't sleep except tiny naps throughout the night. Dear me.
I got up and popped on bus to train station and bought tickets to delhi, got to see all the red ruins on my trip.
Popped back to pick up laura, where we had a walk up the street, it was hot hot hot.
Checked out and headed up on the bus to chandtri chowk where I bought a shawl for one of my creations I will be making when I get back, I was tempted to buy a bedsheet for such an occassion!
Overnight train to delhi, no luxuries on this one, back to the basic sleeper. Again I couldn't sleep, so I had my ipod and book and took position hanging out the door reading throughout the night with my regular chai top ups. Usual making friends with the guards etc
My reflection on india begins as I head to delhi I know its coming to an end.
.It really is a different world out here, I'm going to miss it. Despite being plagued constantly and stared at like I'm an alien, I love india. Everyone is happy whether rich or poor, animals live along side humans in a way you can't describe, the country is beautiful, transport is always fun, there are no manners except treat us aliens like god, so I fit right in, I get my food all over me, burp, fart be a minger and even wear dirty holey clothes doesn't get you judged. food is so good despite being so unhealthy and making me diabetic due to the constant sugar high. I'm going to miss chai. No health and safety doing what you want, my favorite hanging out of the trains, I've become a dog, I hang my head outta everything, find a good outside peeing spot every half hour, seek out the smell of food, keep in the shade as and when possible. I can sing or dance anywhere and noone thinks anything of it, I'm never shocked by anything but always excited to discover something new.xx
