During Christmas of 2013, I was traveling to India (to visit family) from the US. My home is in a remote place in southern India and road transport being the only way to get there. No trains and no planes. My travel itinerary was something like this flight: JFK-DOH-BLR and a train (6 hrs) to some Haveri where my parents would receive me and drive us (2hrs) home. What ended up happening was something that I could never have imagined.
