A couple of weeks ago, we went to the wedding of the daughter of one of Gopal's friends. After a honeymoon trip to Ooty, they were ready to head back to their home in Guntur, some 300km from Hyderabad. Although both of them work for the railways, they were unable to get a railway ticket. Getting tickets can be hard (as we found when we wanted to go to Sikkim in April/May) but especially so at the moment as there are a lot of strikes in Andhra Pradesh at the moment.

My last post ended with our disabled car parked outside our apartment complex, unable to start and with us having no idea what was wrong with it. This one ends on a much better note, since although there is still one issue to fix, we yesterday did a 700km round trip without any significant issues.
