Bhubaneswar Puri Trip-Part I

Puri has always been a favourite in my hangout list (mostly because it is at a wish and go distance) and after years of persuasion and not a lot of planning I was finally able to arrange a trip with my sister and cousins. Here is how it all started.... I was lying on the bed at my Buaji's place in Kolkata, when suddenly I ask Mondi ( slash Mona didi slash Nidhi di) whether we can make a trip to Puri.. she readily agreed.. Tundi( slash Tunnu didi slash Kirti di) who was also free at that time tugged on. Roopam aka 'buchi', who we thought might be busy with her training on in Kharagpur, also informed us that she'll be free from the 12th of Jun onwards.. Now things had started to bubble up...

Next day Buaji gets concerned... "ACCOMODATION!!! Where are you people going to stay??". I have a hostel room so nobody bothered.. As for the ladies.. I told them that papa could arrange a room at a guest house.. else we could book a room at a hotel. We had a lot of discussion over the 'kharcha' involved and availablity. It was after analyzing all possible accomodation options and after a few calls here and there......... Acco problem was somehow solved..

Problems have a knack of popping up all the time.. so next on the list was local transportation.. here i chose to be the hero. I stood up and said "Main hoon na.. hum Bhubaneswar jaakar sab arrange kar deinge.. ". Convincing took time but it happened..

"Rohan hum log bhubaneswar jaayeinge kaise??? Itni jaldi tickets kahaan mileingi?"... Luckily seats were available and the next morning i rushed to the ticketing office to get it done..

On getting the tickets done I was happy that now finally we had a pukka plan for the entire trip.
The 2 day schedule was left for me to decide as I was to leave for Bhubaneswar before the didi-sister trio.

31st May - Tickets to Bhubanewar for the the 13 jun afternoon and return to Kolkata 15 jun night . This is how the tour plan of 2 days and 1 night stood when i left Kolkata and came back to Bhubaneswar
