The U.S.A- Israel- Iran war of 2026 had made International long distance travel from India a big gamble as flights in the transit Gulf States got abruptly rescheduled or cancelled due to war psychosis . Having been a victim of paying double International airfare twice,once in 2023 due to a transit visa fiasco and second time in 2025 due to a flight cancellation swindle from the ticketing agent which in total cost me approximately a extra Rs 3 Lakhs over the normal airfare decided to play safe and stop playing the role of a scapegoat victim.Readers of my travelogues must have taken travel precautions after reading these two travel expeditions that cost me a fortune in double airfare booking as well as travel exhaustion.Having travelled across major States and having visited almost all tourist sites in India realized the World famous annual " Nehru Trophy Boat Race" held annually at Allapuzha( Allepey) in Kerala was missing from my " Braggers Rights" of lifetime travel memories. Booked my train tickets well in advance on Monday 13 July from my regular ticketing agent " Samarth Services" situated inside Worli Fish market.
"Rudolph Cottage" in Bangalore.My "Holiday home" and transit point for touring "South India" between 1995 -2009.
