JALDAPARA TOUR (EPISODE - 02)

Roy: - We can go to Digha or Puri.

Debarjun: - Dhaath…Bengalis have no other places to tour. Don’t you feel bored to visit Digha or Puri.

Roy: - Actually, these are places, where the expense is very low and you can enjoy the sea beach.

Debrup: - No, no, no…not Digha or Puri…dhaath…I have at least visited Puri for more than 10 times with my parents. I know each and every nook and corner of the Sun Temple at Konark…ha ha ha…

Roy: - Hmm…well…let me think a while. Oho! I forgot to tell you people. Do you people know Mohit Hada and Narendra Agarwal of Section-D?

Ayandeep: - No, we only know Arindam Sain and Arindam Roy of our section B…ha ha ha…

Roy: - You people always have a tendency to bully me. You people are not at all serious about any tour. You people always play jokes about me and Sain. Go to the Section-A then. In Section-A, there are 3 Arindam and 6 Abhishek. In our Section – B, there are 4 Arindam and 3 Abhishek.

Sain: - Uff…baapre baap. Bengali parents are fond of keeping their boy’s name as Arindam or Abhishek. See the fun.

Ayandeep: - Anyway, jokes apart. Roy, now tell us, what you were actually trying to say?

Roy: - Narendra and his gang went to Jaldapara recently. They are saying that it is a reserve forest and the expense of the tour is not more than 4500 or 5000 bucks. So, we can plan for Jaldapara forest tour.

Devrup: - Jeeyo mama…you have given a good suggestion. We will go to Jaldapara. Maybe, you people are not aware of the fact that there are two bunglows inside that Jaldapara forest, which have been constructed by our West Bengal State Government. One is Holong Bunglow, which is at the deep forest of Jaldapara and another bunglow is at the buffer zone of Jaldapara forest. The second bunglow is known as West Bengal Development Authority Tourist Bunglow. One has to go with me tomorrow at the office of West Bengal Tourism. It is in the B.B.D. Bag area of Kolkata.

Ayandeep: - Ok, I will go with you.

****************************

WB Tourism Officer: - You people want to tour Jaldapara…hmm…What is your professions?

Ayandeep: - We are MBA students of ICFAI Business School. It is our vacation time. That’s why; we want to go for a tour. We want to book two rooms in Holong Bunglow for 3 days and 3 nights.

WB Tourism Officer: - Holong Bunglow! ha ha ha…only the lucky people get the room reservation in Holong bunglow. Basically, Holong Bunglow is more or less a guest house for our respected chief minister Jyoti Basu. Whenever, Jyoti Basu visits North Bengal, he loves to spend his quality time in Holong Bunglow. Anyway, I will not disappoint you people. There are two rooms available after 4th June 2007, but not in Holong bunglow. It is in the other bunglow. Will I book those two rooms for you people?

Debrup: - Yes, of course. We are 5 in number. We want to stay for 3 nights. Please tell us about the tour package.

WB Tourism Officer: - See, if you would have opted for Holong bunglow, then for 3 days and 3 nights, the expense would have been around 5500 bucks per head. But, for our ‘Banglar Bunglow’, it is only 3500 bucks per head. This amount is charged for both fooding and lodging. You don’t need to pay any extra money for having breakfast, lunch, evening coffee and dinner inside that bunglow.

Ayandeep: - Ok, we want to book two rooms from 5th June to 7th June. But, we will reach Jaldapara in the afternoon of 5th June. We will not be able to have the lunch on 5th June.

WB Tourism Officer: - Don’t worry, if you log in to our bunglow in the afternoon of 5th June, then you can log out on 12 noon of 8th June and can have your lunch in our bunglow only. Not an issue.

Ayandeep: - Ok, ok. Ei, Debrup. I am paying the entire money through my credit card.

Debrup: - No problem! Let me now call up Debarjun to tell him to book the tickets of Kanchan-Kanya Express of 4th June.
