From the back of the bus

The bus from Wayanad down the steep switchbacks of the Ghat, was an open sided "Ordinary", our usual means of transport.  We decided that the great thing about sitting at the far back of the bus is that "There is a long way to fly, and a lot of shit to hit, before the dying starts."

This is considered a normal and well secured load here in Kerala.  Remember the women in the village making the coir rope?  See the rope on the truck?
