I made it into Pune today (Friday) at about 4pm. The flight out of Udaipur was seem less, but a bit strange. The airport had one terminal and two propeller planes. This was my first flight on a prop plane. On the plan I was talking with my seatmate who was from Chennai India and I was telling him about my trip and where I was going. The man sitting across the isle from us must have been listening and spoke up after we had been talking about how I was going to get to Pune. He said that instead of taking a taxi to the bus station and then a bus to Pune it would be easier and faster to get a shared taxi and he offered to help me get it. He said that it would take about and hour or an hour and a half to make it to the Dadar bus station. I followed him and we walked for a little ways outside the airport and he began talking to people and eventually told me that I could either take a shared taxi or that there would be an AC bus coming in 10 minutes for 250 Rs (very good price). After thanking him profusely he went on his way. His business card reads Manohar Samuel, Senior Vice President for Strategic Marketing of Grasim Industries.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP MANOHAR!!
The bus ride went smoothly all the way to Pune, but instead of letting me off at a bus station it left me in the street somewhere random. It then took a very expensive (I got ripped off) rishshaw ride to find the Deep Griha operation.

Impressive work in chatting up your fellow travelers. That is so powerful, just too bad there weren't more to guide you the last mile. Glad you are in safe.
