Travelogue

Last weekend i went on a trip to see my sister who is in silvasa from pune. Some strange things happenned at the night when i was boarding the bus. My bus which was supposed to leave at 8:30 left at 8:00. The boarding point and the actual boarding point was not the same. Before i could find the actual boarding spot the bus left. Travel agents where quite arrogant and could not utter a sorry for their mistake. They somehow managed to say that i was at fault. Nobody takes any kind of responsibility. They all behave with their own whim. Somehow they got me seated in a third grade bus with no suspension. you can imagine my plight in the bus the whole night. The bus dropped me at an obscure place. From their i had to take autos and train to reach my sisters place.
The thought of seeing my sis took me all over to silvasa otherwise i would have cancelled the plans. Altogether it was a nice trip. Silvasa is a quiet sleepy town with lots of green veggies and fruits all over. For those who dont know, Silvasa is the capital of Dadra, Nagar and Haveli. Its on the border of Gujarat, home to lots of chemical industries. Didnt go as a pleasure travel, otherwise lots of places to visit closeby including some tiger safaris.

Some of the points that i learnt during this trip :-

• Find out about the type of bus you are traveling


• Find out about the boarding point


• If possible go before hand and check out the area where you are boarding from


• Try to see that the boarding point and the departing points for the bus are the same as yours


• Always keep atleast 2 hr leverage


• Travel buses are cancelled without any prior notices
