Suggestion 1
Go to Majestic and contact head office
Place : Kormangala
Time : 8:30 pm
Decision : Don't follow suggestion, there has to be an easier way...
Result : You reach home, punch the wall and skip dinner.

Suggestion 2
Find out VRL outlet in 8th block Kormangala
Place : Outside VRL place
Time : 9:00 pm
Result : Closed at 7:30 pm
Cascade to : You reach home, punch the wall and skip dinner.

Step 4: The next day you try again. Go to VRL outlet the quickest you can.
Step 5: Learn that outlet doesn't take documents.
Step 6: Learn that you need to go to Majestic to do so.
Step 7: Learn that most travels at Majestic close shop at about 8:00 pm
Current Time at learning this : 7:58 pm
Result : Anger makes you get a tan.
Cascade to : You reach home, punch the wall and skip dinner and eat biscuits.

Step 8: Next morning you go to a post office and post it yourself skipping the pit stop at Belgaum.
Step 9: You smile, feel good and curse yourself.

Question : Why didn't I do that the first time?
Answer : There was a task to be done at Belgaum for which the documents were required.

Question : What about it then?
Answer : I was able to skip part of the task and get the remainder done in Bangalore itself.

Lesson learnt : Planning out such trips need one, just one half hour (read half hour not one and a half) to figure out alternatives and call these places instead of visiting there and coming back. So three days could've been reduced to one morning.
