Kafka nightmare - refunding ticket in Agra

I just arrived a few hours back, I'm still a bit perplexed by all the hassle so I escaped into this Internet place for some peace and quiet! Had a painful experience with Indian red tape at the train station earlier when I wanted to cancel my ticket to Jaipur. What a process....Kafka style!!
Instead of Jaipur I'm going to meet up with Abishek (one of the guys I lived with in Delhi) on Saturday and we will do a little round trip to Gwalior, some other place I don't remember the name of and hopefully be in Varanasi for Diwali. Should be fun:)

Warning!
Don't bother trying to refund your tickets unless you are Buddha - you will need oceans of patience. Well at least according to my experience. I foolishly thought it would be done in a couple of minutes to get my money back. But nooo way. After standing in the wrong lines for a while I finally got to the right window only to find out that I had to talk to another man, I don't know what he was, but I had to follow him to another office. There I got a form (2 pages A4) to fill out. When finished he tells me that they will send this to a special office and i needed to put down an adress in India and then they would send my money there (the process would take 3 months he also informed me!). Haha..if I knew about this complicated process before I would never had started it, but once caught up with it I followed it through. However I never saw these money ever again! It was not a lot of cash, so I dont mind, but it was funny how extremely complicated they made it just for a few hundred rupees.
