Last Monday Night I had to return to blr after enjoying the pooja holidays at home... I had booked a ticket in Asian Travels via TicketGoose.com... The start time was 9:45 PM... I went to their office at Gandhipuram by 9 30 PM... After lookin at my ticket, they said that the trip was canceled but however its ticketgoose problem that they allowed booking in it... Then I contacted Ticketgoose personnel... He said that the trip was canceled and they had tried to contact me for past 10 days, and my phone was switched off all the time... I felt tat its stupid to argue with them... Also I had only given them my blr number, which of course I was not using wen I was at home...
Then I made up my mind to travel anyways.. All the buses to blr were full... So I just jumped into a govt bus to Salem... Some useless movie was going on in tat bus, and it disturbed my sleep to a great extent.. As a matter of fact I had lot of disturbances - A baby in the near by seat was crying all the time, and no sufficient leg room, and after the movie was over, they were playin some age old songs in high volume, which was literally screwing my ears :(
I reached Salem by 1 45 AM and to my surprise, the bus stand was highly crowded and as and when the bus arrives, it gets filled in the sense that I had to hurry in jumping into the bus to get a seat... I tried in two buses in vain, and succeeded in the next attempt but managed to get a seat only in last row... Thoranai movie was played in this bus, but I had no mood to watch as I was very sleepy... Seated in the last row, I was bouncing all the time, and the chill air from the back door was highly an irritating one :(
I reached Hosur by 5 45 AM and immediately got into a bus to blr... Reached Silk board by 6 40 AM... Then I waited sometime in outer ring road to reach my place - Hebbal.. It took another one hour for me to reach home at 7 45 AM.... And because of this awful travel experience, I was sleepy for the entire day but managed to stay quite awake in office.... As I left office by 6 30, I started sleepin by 7 and got up by 7 today as I got a call from my home :)
