A Rebel Yell in India

Driving from Thrissur towards Highway 17, the ride is smooth and the rickshaw is running like a charm. It is peaceful and one is able to enjoy the lush scenery and the smiling, approving faces of India's people who applaud us as we pass by in our painted Chariot.

A bus approaches. He is in our lane trying to pass the truck in front. There is an old man waiting for a bus on the shoulder of the road. The bus is unrelenting. Bennett is forced off the road at high speed onto the rocky shoulder. We are off-roading in a rickshaw for nearly a hundred meters. The old man is impressed. We hear his enthusiastic rebel yell from behind as we pull back onto the road and contine our journey north.
