> We are winding our way thru india in 5 buses and
> one lorry. The top of the buses are loaded with large
> kitchen vessels, our travel bages, bed rolls, 500
> chairs, bookstore boxes, ayurveda items for sale.
>
> Amma said that since hiring of chairs by local
> devotees is expensive, we shall carry all the chairs
> needed on our buses.
>
> The journey from Cyberabad to pune was a disaster.
> We got held up by the police for tax payments, and
> this delayed the trip.
>
> Amma was not happy with Men for this delay. She
> prodded the women to rise to the occasion and made a
> list of women volunteers to do the loading work. This
> high spirited work was volunteered mostly by western
> women who have more muscle power. When we reached pune
> we saw a band of 20 of them climb up the buses, uptie
> the ropes, and using ropes lower the heavy goods to
> the ground.
>
> The men stood in groups in the sideline watching the
> show. Some in awe as to how the women could do the
> manly jobs, others saying lets see "how long their
> enthusiasum will last !!"
>
> Overall Amma is creating different situations, for us
> to have variety and fun in our travels.
