Rai Travel Agency

Rai Travel Agency is located right in my house, number 356 in Birpur village. It’s a quiet place most of the time, away from the big city noise. I started this because people in the village needed a way to book their buses and trains without traveling too far just to find a computer. We sit here at the desk and look at routes all day. Sometimes the internet is slow, but we get the tickets printed eventually. It’s a small operation, just a room with a couple of chairs for people to sit while they wait. My family is usually in the other part of the house, so you might hear the kitchen noises or the kids playing outside in the post area. We know almost everyone who comes through the door. It feels more like helping out neighbors than running a big company. If someone needs to go to the city for a doctor or to visit relatives, they come by here and we figure out the best way for them to get there. The walls have a few old calendars and some maps that are a bit faded from the sun. We don't have fancy signs, just the name on the front. People know where House No. 356 is. We open up early in the morning because that’s when people like to get their errands done before it gets too hot.
