Sunday 30 Aug. Notes thin. SIM dying. Flight tonight. Partner wants to do both at BIA so we can keep walking. I have heard airport counters are a mood. Pettah is already on the way if we hop from Fort.

Do both in town. Pettah cash and a Dialog/Mobitel desk on a Sunday is ordinary, with queues. Airport counters exist and cost patience you do not have at 10pm. I will not invent a SIM price. Notes exist. Queues exist. Leave a buffer.

Fort ATM first if Pettah looks like a crush. Then a proper shop, not a cousin with a POS.

We did Pettah at eleven, hopped, fine. Airport SIM line looked like a punishment.
