In contrast to the crabbed reaction of the Scottish drunk to the imposition on flight schedules caused by volcanic ash rendering the air above Europe unpassable for air flight (the virulent earth gods are awakening), we had a grand time on a train from Gaya in Bihar to Delhi that was delayed for ten-hours by fog. Sure, there were three-train crashes reported and not an insubstantial loss of lives, but the party on board were happy. With a family in the next berth, we joined in singing, playing games and generally wandered around the train and got accustomed.

BORED is a word savoured by the young in UK. The numerous interviews taking place on the vide box about people subjected to delays by the untimely eruption of the Eyjafjalljaokull volcano in Iceland are rather sad. Sing a song, play a game, remember you're alive and not thrust to the ground by an engine destroyed by reconstituted lava.
