logistical problems

I don't actually know anyone at the wedding I'm attending. The groom is Brina's driver Paan from her work, and I've met him for a car-ride of totally hmmm... 10 minutes maybe? As Paan's village only consists of 60 houses, it doesn't really exist on a map. We THINK that it is called Bharan and lies somewhere close to Baijnath up in Himalch Pradesh, but nobody is really sure. I therefore need to get my white ass up to Dharamsala, and then take a local bus down Kangra Valley to Baijnath and then ask around. Preferentially avoiding the 20-hour cockroach express.

Imagine if I end up in the wrong village, a white women dressed to her teeth in a Varanasi sari. Now, that is a sight that even I would pay for.
