03:30. Ten friggin’ hours to reach Calicut. The private buses normally leave at 22:00, and I reach here by 05:30. I don’t know about their Volvos, but the regular not-so-long-distance bus journeys really suck. The driver and conductor were feeling hungry like every hour or such: they’d stop for grub every now and then.
Oh well, I couldn’t get a ticket in any of the other buses. I hope I get a ticket to get back Monday morning.
Did I ever tell you how big a fan of Opeth I am? They’re not one of those random foo bar metal bands or some such, unlike how their name might betray. Nor are they similar to many of the awesome Scandinavian bands. They’re on a league of their own. They’ve got this weird psychedelia you’d associate with Pink Floyd, and also this insane progressive music like Dream Theater. Yet, they’re like none of them, which is not weird. Sharat had sent me one of their live videos—Lamentations Live. For multiple reasons I got to see it only now. Bloody awesome stuff. Thanks a bunch, dude!
Now if you’d excuse me, I need to get back to more Opeth, and also find some grub.
