Travel Mania

Travel Mania is based right on Jessore Road in Madhyamgram. It is a busy spot with all the traffic going by, but that is good for us because people see the sign. We spend our days looking at train schedules and flight prices. It sounds like we are always on holiday, but mostly we are just sitting at desks trying to find the cheapest route for someone going to visit their family. People come in with a lot of questions about visas or what time a certain bus leaves. We try to answer them as best as we can. My desk is usually covered in papers and old calendars. We have been in Madhyamgram for a few years now, and we know many of the locals who travel for work. Sometimes the internet is slow and we cannot book anything, which is frustrating for everyone, but we just wait it out. It is not a fancy office, just a few chairs and a computer, but it gets the job done. We do not have any big slogans. We just enjoy talking to people about where they want to go. Every now and then, someone brings us a souvenir from their trip, which is nice. Mostly, it is just a lot of typing and phone calls to different hotels. It is a regular job like any other, but we like being here on Jessore Road. The noise from the street is something you just get used to.
