the search for...

View days before we left Ahmedabad we forgot our bag in a rickshaw. Panic!!! Besides the usually electronic stuff like mobile phone, i-pod, digital photo camera and a lot of money, Rolina lost her passport and bank passes. We intend to spend a lot of money in this country with a lot of poverty, and so we succeed :-). Of course we hoped the rickshaw driver would bring us the bag the following morning. He didn’t, so now we hope he is a Hindu with enough bad karma to get reborn as a rat :-). Again we had the opportunity to experience some governmental bureaucratic procedures and went from one police office to another, dealing with typewriting and even handwritten declarations. It just took one day, so not worse at all :-). Through our contact with the Holland Business Support Office we came in contact with a police officer who wanted to help us finding our rickshaw driver. In cooperation with some leading rickshaw drivers, I and Nilesh, a friend from Kanoria, started the hunt for our bag :-). Besides that it was not a very hopefully enterprise, the monsoon just arrived. Children where playing and dancing in the rain and I just tried to stay a bit dry :-). Just when I wondered how I would keep my wallet dry, they reach me a plastic back. Time to quit this search adventure :-).
