If someone had told me yesterday God would seek to make sure my penultimate day in India would run smoothly, I would be a believer.
I woke up this morning at 6am (the 5:15am alarm did not go off)... for a 6am train. Luckily I thought ahead and moved myself to housing steps away from the Pushkar train station the day before. I ran like the wind and arrived at the train station at 6:10am. There was a train pulling away in front of me. Assuming it was my train, I chase after it and hop onto it almost slipping into a pool of urine. See, I couldn't miss this 6am train because it brought me to the Agra connection point in order to get to Gwalior (my final destination). By a twist of fate, this train I randomly hopped onto was the train I was looking for and better yet, was experimenting with a new route to my final destination... Gwalior!
Actually, I did meet someone yesterday who predicted that I would lead a lucky life. I hope it never runs out!
One more day in India...
