Jai Durga Travels

Running a travel business from Banjara Hills is always an interesting experience. Our office is at 8-2-676/1/B/50/A in Sri Ram Nagar, which is right off Road No 12. If you know that area, you know how crazy the traffic can get at almost any time of the day. Jai Durga Travels has been operating out of this spot for a while, and we spend a lot of our time on the phone or talking to drivers. The office is small and usually has a few people waiting around for their bookings or to settle up their fares. We have a lot of maps and schedules pinned to the walls, though most of it is kept in our heads or on scraps of paper. Being in the 500034 zip code means we deal with all sorts of people, from locals to visitors who are just passing through. The street noise from Road No 12 is constant, with horns honking and engines idling right outside our door. It can get a bit stressful when a driver is late or a car breaks down, but we just handle it as it comes. We drink a lot of chai to stay awake during the long shifts. It is a lot of coordination and hoping the roads aren't too blocked up with the usual Hyderabad traffic. We are just a small team trying to keep the wheels turning for everyone who needs to get somewhere.
