So its pretty simple . Check the schedule for a train journey to Dhaka from Kolkata . So make sure you have your passport handy at all times . From Dhaka , there are international bus services available which will take you to Akhaura , the bangladesh Agartala border . <| sep |> Graduating with my PhD on Monday . Registering for it was a bit of a shambles , everything seems OK now but I ' m a worrier so won ' t feel alright until the scroll is in my hand . Just want it to be done , wouldn ' t be going but my gran has been looking forward to it for literally years , so I can ' t back out . It ' s silly but I hate getting my photo taken , I am ridiculously unphotogenic . All pictures of me smiling look like someone smashed raw pizza dough through a fence . Anyway , I can ' t moan about it IRL but also can ' t stop worrying , so I ' m moaning here instead . In brighter news I am very happy my past self bought a hat last week , means I haven ' t got frostbitten ears . And the Milngavie train to work seems to be on time , which is a bona fide miracle .
