Traveling in India, you will likely find yourself on at least one bus so decrepit with a driver so insane, you’ll be convinced you won’t survive the journey, so I suppose it’s only fitting that your last ride ever be on a converted public bus. At least that’s what they use in Canacona, Goa. The rest of India, being mostly Hindu or Muslim, is probably different.
I’ve realized I should have added a definition for non-native English speakers, so here you go:
hearse — A vehicle for conveying a coffin to a church or cemetery.
As they say, “When in Rome”. Hope the journey was okay and it had shock absorbers. I’m noticing that the roads in India are gradually improving, it is a shame that the driving hasn’t.
