I didn’t sleep much on the bus over night. Between dosing off for bits here and there, I caught the sunrise over crops in Punjab. It felt good to be back in Punjab. The hours past slowly, with bits of Indian movies playing on the screen in the bus.We stopped off at different spots, where passengers could leave if this was their destination, or stretch their legs and use the bathroom. There was not much else to do. The good thing about the bus is that it takes only the time that it takes to actually drive the distance you are going, whereas I have been on slow trains that seem to stop forever or slow down. You can’t walk around on the bus, but if it takes 16 hours to get there, that is what it will take.After what seemed like forever, we got into Lahore. We passed alongside the canal on the outskirts, and the sky looked ready to burst with rain. My cousin’s driver was waiting for me at the station. Ali helped me load my things and we were off to my cousin’s place.
