Oh god, tell me about buses in India :O. Scary indeed. We are very privileged with all the road safety and all. I had a similar experience with trying to find the bus in New Delhi when I was travelling to Dharamshala. I had a pre-booked ticket which meant nothing. The time on it also meant nothing, haha - eventually someone just told me to get on a bus - I obeyed. And then the next 8 hrs of that journey where so scary. Going up the mountain on those narrow roads with a 20m drop wasn't fun at all. Glad I survived. I am also glad you survived as well. :)

Bus crashes are an incredibly common cause of death in India, so it's definitely a huge relief to be able to tell the tale. Travelling on the train is definitely preferable, although it can be difficult to get a spot sometimes!
Yes, a crash is a completely different story for sure. Yes, I booked my train ticket weeks in advance and it took a few weeks to register on their online service (which also took them a few weeks to respond to). But the train rides are definitely more fun and safe. :)
