I am always sur­prised at how effi­cient and friendly the Indian rail reser­va­tion people are. 5 minutes in their office and I left with a 300 Rupee ticket for an overnighter from Mum­bai to Goa, leav­ing tomor­row night. Saves me a nights accom­mod­a­tion as well! Really look­ing for­ward to the beach now!
