Totally forgot to add this little part of the Jibhi experience..
On our second day to the Health Mela, everyone wanted to ride with the same driver, cause he was a really cool guy. Well funny thing that we all squished into the car to be with him.
We got half way down the road when we hit a small traffic jam. The car in front of us began to back up and we began to drift a little forward..
Car accident.
A small crack in their taillight. The guys get out of the car. About 5 of them gather around the driver side window. One sticks his hand thru the window, turns off the car, and grabs the keys! They refuse to give them back until we pay them a ridiculous amount to fix the light.
The doctor and social workers get out of the car and there seems to be some negotiation going on. Until they decide to call the police.
We sat for almost an hour. 6 white people packed into a van with Indian hospital staff surrounding the car arguing with these random psychos.
The cop gets the keys back and makes them settle for even less than what we were offering to fix the light haha.
It was a crazy experience. We were an hour and a half late to the Mela. And of course our car happened to have all the workers in it :/
But well worth the story I think
