Train tickets - Puri
So, just had a an interesting morning of trying to buy train tickets to Puri for a 2 day trip next week. It was fascinating, checked on the net, everything is available, but then at the office, everything is sold out. Mind you, its line 1 for the forms, line 2 for availability, line 3 for booking and paying. (And this is at a small satellite office too). However, my uncle stopped at his friends house (who happens to own a huge hotel in Puri), talked to his kids, and then called him up. He told abt a special express train, where we got round trip sleeper seats (10 hours each way) for 2600 rupees ... say 50 US ! Just had to adjust a the date a day back to our leaving the night of the 5th and returning by the mornign of the 8th
So, now its off to scout locations with my cousin (sister) for her film she is shooting tomorrow, all over Kolkatta.
