A failed Plan

Golden Temple, Mysore

 I and Mr. Tshewang, my roommate didn't bother to book the train ticket to go home for winter vacation. This is because we had a plan to visit the renowned Buddhist as well as a tourist site at Byllakuppe, Mysore during  Christmas and  Pongal Holidays. But, the plan will remain a mere plan. It became a mere fiasco since we had to cancel the trip since we couldn't avail train tickets. We tried to avail connecting train tickets to various stations to reach the destination yet we failed.   We tried with bus services as well via Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad but to our dismay return tickets were not available which contributed the most for the cancellation. If we have to visit this site it will be possible towards the end of February 2012 only as per available tickets.

Mr. Tshewang started regretting  for our failure to book the tickets well in advance. For him he says it shall remain the dream unfulfilled. I am no exception with the regrets though I visited the place in February this year. I regret for I didn't visit Tipu Sultan's (Mysore) Palace which I longed to visit since P.U days. I could have visited the Palace had the friend who accompanied my trip consented.  To over come the regrets we console ourselves with few other plans, i.e to visit nearby places within twenty days break. We are optimistic that the plans again won't turn out to be a mere fiasco.
