A 7-hour drive back from Indore through endless green tribal lands of gujarat and MP, sarus cranes, camels, bullocks, ads for Raj Vaid and Dr John's remedies for 'gupt rog' (aka sex problems) on the walls of brick houses in Jabhua and Dhar, stagnant windmills, ancient ploughs, shops boasting of 'India's finest hand-pumps', "Dhar's only pure vegetarian restaurant", bad roads, no petrol pumps or motels, no other cars, noisy trucks bending over to one side because of the weight of the goods they carry, damaged jeeps, curious glances, women in purdah, men chewing ganja, another world, another time...
