When I tried to book flight from Delhi to Guwahati, to and fro, my return ticket was not booked through money was deducted. I called the concern customer care, they suggested to wait.

The next day morning, I got SMS that it was not booked. I tried to rebook again, but the price was high. A spark flashed on my mind, that instead of book Guwahati to Delhi, let's take a chance Agartala to Delhi.

Wow!! I got the ticket at the same price that I have tried to book yesterday. Without second thoughts, I had booked the ticket for me.

Then I asked my partners whether they are agreed to visit Tripura. But they had the leaves issue. So this was my turn to solo travel.

I thought a lot & then decided to travel solo Tripura which is one of the best decisions of my life.
