Change of plans
The last hotel I was in had a television, so I sat down with it on weekend and saw an IBM ad featuring two guys calling each other from around the world and saying “change of plans” every second sentence. Humbug, I thought. Nobody has travel plans that fickle.
Now I feel like I have.
I was supposed to be coordinating a locative media workshop with Shekhar Krishnan at Srishti, but that plan is cancelled. We’re having a week-long meeting in Bombay instead, trying to figure out how to get maps of Bombay online, accessible to the general public. If you are in Bombay and interested, you’re welcome to join us. The tentative dates are 10-14th January, location undecided.
So I’m leaving Pune this weekend instead of next, and returning to spend three weeks between Bombay and Pune in January. The next place on my itinerary was Hyderabad. I should have been leaving for Hyderabad tonight, but I don’t have a ticket. The trains are all full for the next week, even in first class. Buses too. I’ve never had a problem with getting a bus before. Now they’re all full too. Spent much time last evening trying.
So I figured I’d just go back straight to Bangalore and visit Hyderabad some other time… but I can’t get a ticket to Bangalore either. Air Deccan’s running full. The other airlines are ruled out: my time is not worth that much.
As it stands now, the good folks in![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
cyberabad have cancelled their LJ meet plans twice, I have a ticket to Bangalore for Tuesday, and I’m in Bombay on Monday and largely unoccupied. Anyone from mumbai wants to meet?
