hi vijay,I was very happy to see the garo hills event at an economical price, but once again the announcement came too late as all the trains from Mumbai are all filled up. I cannot attend even if I wanted to , I request the organisers to take the 3month reservation rule of the railways and announce the programmes more than 3 months in advance so that long distance enthusiasts like me do not lose out on the opportunity.Regards,Krishnakumar Nair
